    摘要: A single cell for a fuel cell includes a power generating unit and two separators that hold the power generating unit in between. Each separator includes a facing surface, which faces the power generating unit. Each facing surface includes groove passages and ribs. Each of the ribs includes a top wall portion, two side wall portions, and corner portions. The top wall portion is in contact with the power generating unit. The side wall portions are located at the opposite sides of the top wall portion. Each corner portion is located between the top wall portion and one of the side wall portions. A restricting portion is provided at a section of each corner portion that faces the groove passage. The restricting portion restricts the gas diffusion layer from sinking into the groove passage. The restricting portion is a conductive porous body.

    摘要: A fuel cell that can have a voltage-detection cell connector reliably held thereon without the thickness of the fuel cell increased to a thickness of greater than that originally required to generate power. The fuel cell includes a recess portion in which a cell connector is adapted to be inserted. In the recess portion, a guide portion, which can guide a cell connector being inserted into the recess portion, is formed of a part of a separator (or a second extending portion thereof). In a portion of the recess portion opposite the second extending portion, a protrusion that forms a part of an insulating resin sheet, which is arranged between a pair of separators, protrudes toward the second extending portion. A to-be-crimped portion of the cell connector inserted in the recess portion is pressed against the second extending portion by the protrusion so that its stable posture is held.

    摘要: A method is for producing seals on faces of electrochemical reactor components intended to be stacked in order to form an electrochemical reactor Each component is in the form of a plate and having a first face and an opposing second face. The first face is designed to receive a first seal and the second face is designed to receive a second seal. The method includes shaping the first seals on the first faces of the components, the first seals being at least partially polymerized; depositing the second seals on the second face of the components; and shaping the second seals by compressing a stack formed from the components alternating with molding plates. Each molding plate has a bearing face pressed against the first face of a component and includes a groove designed to receive, without deforming, the first seal previously formed on the first face of said component, and a molding face pressed against the second face of another component and having a molding surface for shaping the second seal deposited on the second face of said other component as a result of compressing the stack. The method also includes at least partially polymerizing the second seals.

    摘要: A support member has a support portion that is located at an electric power generation portion and configured of a porous layer, and a seal portion that is located on an outer circumferential side of the electric power generation portion and configured of a dense layer. The seal portion includes an outer-side wall portion that is located on its outer circumferential side and protruded downward, and an inner-side wall portion that is located closer to the electric power generation portion than the outer-side wall portion and protruded upward. A U-shaped elastic member is provided between cells adjacent to each other and between the outer-side wall portion of the cell located above and the inner-side wall portion of the cell located beneath. Glass seals are provided between the elastic member and the outer-side wall portion and the inner-side wall portion, respectively.
