摘要: An exemplary flow field includes a plurality of flow channel portions. There are n inlet portions configured for introducing a fluid into the flow field. A plurality of first pass portions direct fluid flow in a first direction. A plurality of second pass portions direct fluid flow in a second direction that is generally parallel to and opposite to the first direction. A plurality of third pass portions direct fluid flow in the first direction. n outlet portions are configured to allow fluid to exit the flow field. n is an integer and a number of the portions in at least one plurality of pass portions is a non-integer multiple of n.

摘要: A fuel cell power plant (36) has vertical fuel cells (102) each sharing a half of a hybrid separator plate (100) which includes a solid fuel flow plate (105) having horizontal fuel flow channels (106) on one surface and coolant channels (108) on an upper portion of the opposite surface, bonded to a plain rear side of a porous, hydrophilic oxidant flow field plate (115) having vertical oxidant flow channels (118). Coolant permeates through the upper portion of the porous, hydrophilic oxidant flow field plates and enters the oxidant flow channels, where it evaporates as the water trickles downward through the oxidant flow field channels, thereby cooling the fuel cell.

摘要: An example seal assembly includes a first seal that is configured to be placed between a fuel cell manifold and a fuel cell stack. The first seal establishes a recessed area within a side of the first seal that faces the fuel cell stack. The fuel cell seal assembly further includes a second seal that is configured to be placed between the first seal and the fuel cell stack within the recessed area. An example method of sealing a fuel cell interface includes holding a first seal within a groove established within a manifold and holding a second seal within a recessed area established within the second seal. The method limits flow of a fuel cell fluid using a first seal and the second seal.

摘要: Ejectors (22, 59) are configured to receive fresh fuel gas at the motive inlet (27, 60) and to receive fuel recycle gas at the suction inlet (29, 64, 65). Each ejector is disposed either a) within a fuel inlet/outlet manifold (13, 109) or adjacent to and integral with the fuel inlet/outlet manifold. The ejector draws fuel recycle gas directly from the fuel outlet manifold and, after mixing with fresh fuel, is expanded (34, 76) to lower the pressure and is then fed directly into the fuel inlet manifold (14, 80, 109). The ejector may be within an external manifold (13, 92) or an internal manifold (109). The ejector (59) may be formed of perforations clear through a plate (80), which is closed on either side by other plates (83, 85), or the ejector may be formed by suitable sculpture of fuel cells (12) having internal fuel inlet (109) and fuel outlet (15) manifolds.

摘要: A fuel pressure regulator unit is mounted on a manifold. The fuel pressure regulator unit includes a housing providing a fuel inlet passage, a regulated fuel outlet passage, a sense pressure passage, a recycle passage and a mixed fuel passage. A pressure regulator is provided in the housing and is arranged fluidly between the fuel inlet passage and the regulated fuel outlet passage. The sense passage fluidly interconnects the mixed fuel passage and the pressure regulator. The pressure regulator is configured to regulate the flow of fuel from the fuel inlet passage to regulated fuel passage in response to a pressure from the sense pressure passage. An ejector is arranged within the housing and fluidly between the regulated fuel outlet passage and the mixed fuel passage. An ejector is configured to receive recycled fuel from the recycle passage.
