摘要： In an electrochemical cell wherein during operation electrolyte evaporates into a reactant gas stream, the evaporated electrolyte, before it leaves the cell as a vapor in the reactant gas exhaust stream, is condensed from the gas stream by reducing the temperature of the reactant gas stream just before it exits the cell. The condensed electrolyte is taken up by the cell electrode and redistributed throughout the cell by diffusion and capillary action.

摘要： An electrochemical cell including an electrolyte retaining matrix layer located between and in contact with cooperating anode and cathode electrodes is disclosed herein. Each of the electrodes is comprised of a ribbed (or grooved) substrate including a gas porous body as its main component and a catalyst layer located between the substrate and one side of the electrolyte retaining matrix layer. Each substrate body includes a ribbed section for receiving reactant gas and lengthwise side portions on opposite sides of the ribbed section. Each of the side portions includes a channel extending along its entire length from one surface thereof (e.g. its outer surface) to but stopping short of an opposite surface (e.g. its inner surface) so as to provide a web directly between the channel and the opposite surface. Each of the channels is filled with a gas impervious substance and each of the webs is impregnated with a gas impervious substance so as to provide a gas impervious seal along the entire length of each side portion of each substrate and between the opposite faces thereof (e.g. across the entire thickness thereof).
