Abstract: A cooling water direct injection type fuel cell is provided. The fuel cell includes an air-side separator that has an air channel through which air flows, and a cooling water inlet aperture that is formed on an introduction portion of the air channel. A hydrogen-side separator is joined with the air-side separator and has a protrusion that is inserted into the cooling water inlet aperture. The protrusion has a diameter less than a diameter of the cooling water inlet aperture to form a gap between an outer circumferential surface of the protrusion and an inner circumferential surface of the cooling water inlet aperture. Cooling water drawn into space between the junction surfaces of the air-side separator and the hydrogen-side separator is discharged through the gap between the protrusion and the cooling water inlet aperture, is mixed with introduced air, and then is drawn into the air channel.

Abstract: A unit cell for a fuel cell includes a separator having a reaction area located to correspond to an anode or a cathode of a membrane electrode assembly, an inlet manifold, which is provided outside the reaction area and into which a reaction gas is introduced that is to be supplied to the reaction area, and an outlet manifold which is spaced apart from the inlet manifold and through which the reaction gas that passed through the reaction area is discharged. The unit cell has a porous passage provided between the separator and the membrane electrode assembly arranged to be adjacent to the separator and having a passage configured to guide the reaction gas introduced into the inlet manifold such that the reaction gas is discharged to the outlet manifold via the reaction area. The unit cell has a protrusion protruding from the separator toward the porous passage, which is fixed to the separator by the protrusion through a pressing force, which is generated due to deformation by a compressive force.

Abstract: An apparatus for preventing moisture condensation includes a fuel cell stack and an enclosure in which the fuel cell stack is disposed. A heater and a temperature sensor are provided in the enclosure. A controller is configured to control the heater to be turned on when an insulation resistance between the fuel cell stack and the enclosure is less than a preset resistance value. The controller controls the heater not to be turned on when a surface temperature of the enclosure measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset temperature.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a unit cell for a fuel cell includes preparing a separator having a reaction area located to correspond to an anode or a cathode of the unit cell, a first protrusion protruding from the separator, and a second protrusion spaced apart from the first protrusion with the reaction area interposed therebetween. The method includes providing a passage configured to guide a reaction gas to flow in the reaction area, and arranging a porous passage having a height protruding to become farther away from the separator and to be higher than the first and second protrusions between the first and second protrusions in parallel. The method includes compressing the porous passage toward the separator. The porous passage is fixed to the separator via the first and second protrusions by a force applied between the porous passage and the protrusion as the passage is deformed or is apt to be deformed to be lengthened in a transverse direction due to the compression of the porous passage.
