    摘要: A bipolar plate for a fuel cell includes a pair of plates. Each plate has an active area, a header area, and a perimeter area. The perimeter area is disposed adjacent an edge of the plate. The perimeter area is also disposed adjacent to each of the active area and the header area. At least one of the plates includes a raised support feature having an inboard side and an outboard side. The plates are joined in the perimeter area between the outboard side of the raised support feature and the edges of the plates.

    摘要: A PEM fuel cell includes a first plate having a flow field for directing a first fluid along a surface thereof. A second plate includes a flow field for directing a second fluid along a surface thereof. A seal is disposed between the first plate and the second plate. The seal includes a plate margin defining a header aperture for delivering the first fluid to the first plate. The seal defines a carrier having a first side supported by the flow field of the first plate whereby the first fluid is permitted to flow directly from the first header aperture to the flow field of the first plate. The carrier includes a gasket arranged on a second side. The gasket precludes the first fluid from flowing directly from the header aperture to the flow field of the second plate.

    摘要: A subassembly for a fuel cell includes a fuel cell plate having a first side and a second side. Each of the first side and the second side has a flow field disposed between a pair of headers. An insulating spacer abuts the first side of the fuel cell plate and is disposed adjacent a perimeter of the fuel cell plate. A unitized electrode assembly includes a subgasket, a membrane electrode assembly, and a pair of diffusion medium layers. The membrane electrode assembly has an electrolyte membrane sandwiched between a pair of electrodes. The membrane electrode assembly is sandwiched between the pair of diffusion medium layers. The subgasket surrounds, and is coupled to, the membrane electrode assembly. The subgasket abuts the insulating spacer. An elastomeric seal abuts the second side of the fuel cell plate.
