In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a redox flow battery (RFB) may include a shell, an electrolyte storage tank assembly disposed in the shell, wherein at least a portion of theelectrolyte storage tank assembly is supported by the shell, an electrochemical cell, and an electrolyte circulation system configured for fluid communication between the electrolyte storage tank assembly and the electrochemical cell. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the electrolyte storage tank assembly defines a tank assembly heat transfer system between an outer surface of the electrolyte storage tank assembly and an inner surface of the shell. In other embodiments, a pump assembly in the electrolyte circulation system is moveable between a first position and a second position. Inother embodiments, a gas management system includes a first gas exchange device in fluid communication with the catholyte headspace and the anolyte. 根据本公开的实施例，一种氧化还原液流电池(RFB)可以包括壳体、设置在壳体中的电解液存储罐组件、电化学单体和电解液循环系统，其中电解液存储罐组件的至少一
