    摘要: The bipolar plate is of a relatively simple design and a low production cost. In addition, it only requires two supply ducts.It consists essentially of a separator (20) sandwiched between two distributors (14) each consisting of a deformed sheet so that a distribution channel (16A, 16B) is formed on each of the two sides. A central hole (15) is used to connect both channels so as to only form a single distribution channel from one end of the distributor to the other. The fuel and oxidant gases may be evacuated to the outside or collected in peripheral evacuation holes (28) similar to the supply holes (17).

    摘要: An interconnect structure is disclosed for use in solid oxide electrolytic devices that use chrome-containing components, such as solid oxide fuel cells and solid oxide oxygen-generators. The invention provides a reliable and durable interconnect for both structural and electrical components of such devices. In general, the interconnect structure relies on a dual-layer, high-temperature seal which provides an effective diffusion barrier for both chrome and oxygen. As a result of the described interconnect, corrosion or loss in electrical conductivity in such solid oxide electrolytic devices is avoided. Also, a novel structure for such solid oxide electrolytic devices is disclosed, which provides an economical and high-integrity structure that utilizes the disclosed interconnect structure. A result of the present invention is that thin film solid oxide fuel cells and solid oxide oxygen generators may be fabricated using only metal alloys as bulk components.

    摘要: A structural reinforcement for a pressurized plastic electrochemical cell stack is described with a first endplate and a second endplate, wherein the first endplate and the second endplate are each connected to a structural reinforcement along an axial direction such that the reinforcement extends through the first endplate and the second endplate and provides for compressing the first endplate and the second endplate against a bilithic or monolithic plastic electrochemical cell stack internal to the reinforcement, thereby sealing a gas generation cell within the reinforcement and thus providing enhanced creep resistance of the electrochemical cell stack.

    摘要: A lightweight direct methanol fuel cell unit (20) comprising a fuel cell stack (24) enclosed within a housing (22). In one embodiment the fuel cell stack includes a plurality of polymer electrolyte membrane electrode assemblies (52) stacked alternatingly with a plurality of bipolar plates (48). Each bipolar plate includes a cathode flow field (78) defined by a porous cathode flow field structure (56) and an anode flow field (62) defined by an upper plate (58) and a lower plate (60) separated from one another by a plurality of spacers (64). The anode flow fields are manifolded with one another via manifold embossments (118, 120) that are hermetically sealed with one another with a gasket (126). The fuel cell stack and housing are shaped so as to form four manifold regions (36) in the spaces between the fuel cell stack and housing. The fuel cell stack is compressed within the housing by compression members (94) located between the fuel cell stack and housing so as to place the sidewall (30) of the housing into tension. Supporting systems for the fuel cell unit include a fuel handling system (502), an oxidant handling system (600), and a liquid inventory control system (700).
