摘要:
In a fuel-cell stack in which a plurality of cells are stacked, each of the cells includes a membrane electrode assembly which is composed of a polyelectrolyte membrane and a pair of electrodes sandwiching the polyelectrolyte membrane, and a pair of separators by which the membrane electrode assembly is sandwiched, where the electrodes each have a catalytic layer brought into contact with the polyelectrolyte membrane and a gas diffusion layer brought into contact with the separator, and where a material of the gas diffusion layers is formed from carbon fiber woven cloth. In this fuel-cell stack, the warp direction and weft direction of the carbon fiber woven cloth are so set as to be uniform in all the cells with respect to the primary direction of the gas flow passages of the separators.

摘要:
A chemical heat-storage apparatus 100 is provided with: a container 202 accommodating a heat storage material 210 that has a higher specific gravity than water and exothermically reacts with water; a heat exchanger 209 that is provided inside the container 202 and that gives heat to the heat storage material 210 in a heat storage process as well as absorbing heat from the heat storage material 210 in a heat release process; a water flow path 204 that has openings 203 opening downwardly and that is provided below the heat exchanger 209 inside the container 202 so as to supply, to the inside of the container 202, the water to react with the heat storage material 210; and a distribution plate 206 that is provided below the heat exchanger 209 inside the container 202 and above the opening 203 and that has a plurality of through holes 205 for introducing the water supplied to the inside of the container 202 from a lower part to an upper part.
摘要:
A separator for a polymer electrolyte fuel cell, which contains electrically conductive carbon and a binder that binds the electrically conductive carbon, comprises a reaction gas passage formed on at least a main surface thereof, wherein a water droplet falling angle of a surface the reaction gas passage is not less than 5 degrees and not more than 45 degrees when a water droplet of not less than 50 μL and not more than 80 μL is dropped under a condition in which ambient temperature is not lower than 50° C. and not higher than 90° C. and relative humidity is not less than 70% and not more than 100%.
