PURPOSE:To enhance generating performance with excess moisture removed to the outside of a stack, which is produced within a cell by improving a setting method for the fuel cell. CONSTITUTION:A fuel cell is formed into a laminated body where a plural number of electrolytic plates 1 is laminate...
How to warm up a fuel cellPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conduct oxidation reaction with a catalyst in a wide range especially at low temperature and surely conduct warming up of the whole fuel cell in a short time. SOLUTION: A first to fourth oxidant gas communicating holes 30a to 30d, a ...
A fuel cell power plant is made up of one or more fuel cell modules. The plant also has electrical and mechanical systems that deliver gasses to and from the stack module and to convert the DC fuel cell power to AC power at the desired voltage. The small footprint, quiet operation, ...
This is one of the oldest designs for fuel cells; this type was the first the United States space program used to produce electricity and drinkable water on-board rockets and shuttles. NASA favored this method because the alkaline cell has high efficiency and a low operating temperature. However...
Oxygen from the air (big turquoise blobs) comes down a second pipe to the positive terminal. The negative terminal (red) is made of platinum, a precious metal catalyst designed to speed up the chemistry that happens in the fuel cell. When atoms of hydrogen gas reach the catalyst, they ...
methods or test parameters. Currently, the most relevant guidance comes from the DIN EN IEC 62282-2 norm for fuel cell modules, which states a leakage rate of no more than 5cm3/min for the entire fuel cell. This can be equated to approximately 5.0·10-5mbarl/s for a single bipolar ...
