    摘要: A fuel gas passage, an oxygen-containing gas passage, and a coolant passage extend through a fuel cell stack. Each of the fuel gas passage and the oxygen-containing gas passage is formed by serially connecting passages between the first through third fuel cell modules. The fuel gas flows through the fuel gas passage, and the oxygen-containing gas flows through the oxygen-containing gas passage from the first fuel cell module toward the third fuel cell module. The coolant passage is formed by serially connecting passages between the first through third fuel modules. The coolant flows through the coolant passage from the third fuel cell module toward the first fuel cell module. The direction of the flow of the coolant is opposite to the direction of the flows of the fuel gas and the oxygen-containing gas.

    摘要: An oxygen-containing gas supply passage and an oxygen-containing gas discharge passage extend through a set of diagonal positions of a first metal separator, and a fuel gas supply passage and a fuel gas discharge passage extend through the other set of diagonal positions of the first metal separator. A fuel gas flow field is connected to the fuel gas supply passage through an inlet buffer at an upper position, and connected to the fuel gas discharge passage through an outlet buffer at a lower position. The inlet buffer includes a first inlet buffer area adjacent to the fuel gas supply passage and a second inlet buffer area adjacent to the fuel gas flow field. Grooves of the first inlet buffer area are deeper than grooves of the second inlet buffer area in the stacking direction.

    摘要: There has been a problem that the cell units cannot bear the load exerted on the units while being stacked since a fuel cell stack including a refrigerant channel formed between cell units each having an even number of electrolyte/electrode structures (MEA) and metal separators which are alternated does not have any structure supporting the separators forming the refrigerant channel in a stacking direction. In order to solve the above problem, in each of a first power generating unit and a second power generating unit, projections formed at the buffer portions of the separators are disposed in the same positions in the stacking direction with the MEA interposed therebetween. Since between the first and second power generating units, the projections of the buffer portions are staggered, the projections of the first and second power generating units are thereby disposed in the same positions in the stacking direction.

    摘要: A fuel cell includes a membrane electrode assembly and separators which are stacked. A fuel gas channel allows a fuel gas to flow along a surface of one of a pair of electrodes. An oxidant gas channel allows an oxidant gas to flow along a surface of another of a pair of electrodes. A channel width of the oxidant gas channel in a central portion of the oxidant gas channel in a channel width direction is larger than a channel width of the oxidant gas channel in both end portions of the oxidant gas channel in the channel width direction. A channel width of the fuel gas channel in a central portion of the fuel gas channel in a channel width direction is smaller than a channel width of the fuel gas channel in both end portions of the fuel gas channel in the channel width direction.

    摘要: Disclosed is a fuel cell in which an electrolyte membrane-electrode structure is held between the first separator and a second separator. The electrolyte membrane-electrode structure comprises a solid polymer electrolyte membrane, a cathode-side electrode and an anode-side electrode. An end portion of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane projects outwardly beyond end portions of gas diffusion layers, and the both surfaces of the end portion of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane are held between the first protective film and a second protective film. The thickness of the first protective film is set to be thinner than the thickness of the second protective film.
