Abstract:
A membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of a three-edge configuration is provided for a fuel cell system. The MEA is tailored to have three edges and the three edges are embedded in an open space of a frame. The three-edge MEA is arranged between an anode collector plate and a cathode collector plate of the fuel cell system. A flow field plate is arranged at the anode side of the MEA with the anode collector plate interposed between the flow field plate and the MEA. The flow field plate forms a fuel transporting channel that is delimited by three side walls and has three vertices. The configuration of the fuel transporting channel corresponds in shape to the three-edge configuration of the MEA and is in communication with at least one fuel inlet and at least one fuel outlet corresponding to the fuel inlet. Anode fuel is fed through the fuel inlet into the fuel transporting channel of the flow field plate and then discharged through the fuel outlet whereby the anode fuel carries out catalytic reaction with the MEA.
