摘要: A method for operating a fuel cell power plant. The fuel cell can include a reactant passage (22) with an upstream portion and a downstream portion for providing reactant to an electrode (16, 18), at least one liquid passage (24), and a plate (20) made from a porous material that is liquid permeable and conductive. The porous material separates the reactant passage and the liquid passage. A pressure profile is controlled to provide a positive pressure difference in the upstream portion and a negative pressure difference in the downstream portion. A positive pressure difference is one where the liquid pressure is higher than that of the reactant. A negative pressure difference is one where the liquid pressure is less than that of the reactant. The pressure profile can be used to provide enhanced humidification of the reactant in the upstream portion and effective liquid water removal in the downstream portion to maximize both the performance and the life of the fuel cell.

摘要: Separators are formed to have a rectangular outline. A coolant passage is formed in a portion of each separator, which is located around a fuel gas passage or an oxidant gas passage formed in a surface of each separator, and which is substantially parallel to a long side of each separator, so that a coolant flows in a direction perpendicular to the surfaces of each separator.
