Viscosity is impacting the pumping losses  low viscosity results in low pumping losses Viscosity at design point (20 Wh/l) is 3 mPas (anolyte) and 6 mPas (catholyte) at 25 °C, respectively

  • Compare water: 1 mPas, grape juice 2 .. 5 mPas, syrup approx. 10.000 mPas

At 5 °C viscosity remains suitably low at 5 mPas (anolyte) and 12 mPas (catholyte), respectively
