1. An electrochemical cell system, comprising:
electrochemical cell columns arranged in an annular configuration over a support, each cell column having a front side that faces away from a center of the annular configuration, a back side that faces the center of the annular configuration, and opposing first and second sides that connect the front and the back sides; and
multi-component baffle assemblies located between adjacent cell columns and having at least one air bypass mitigation feature configured to reduce or prevent air from flowing between the cell columns,
wherein the at least one air bypass mitigation feature comprises at least one metal baffle having a base plate portion that has an outer surface that faces away from the center of the annular configuration.
