摘要： A modular fuel cell cassette for use in assembling a fuel cell stack comprising a metal separator plate and a metal cell-mounting plate joined at their edges to form a hollow cassette. A fuel cell subassembly is attached to the mounting plate and extends through an opening in the mounting plate. The plates include openings to form chimney manifolds for supply and exhaust of fuel gas to the anode and air to the cathode. A conductive interconnect element extends from the fuel cell subassembly to make contact with the next cassette in a stack. The anode openings in the mounting plate and separator plate are separated by spacer rings such that the cassette is incompressible. A fuel cell stack comprises a plurality of cassettes, the mounting plate of one cassette being attached to, and insulated from, the separator plate of the next-adjacent cassette by a dielectric seal surrounding the interconnect.

摘要翻译： 一种用于组装燃料电池堆的模块化燃料电池盒，包括金属隔板和在其边缘连接以形成中空盒的金属电池安装板。 燃料电池子组件附接到安装板并延伸穿过安装板中的开口。 这些板包括用于形成烟囱歧管的开口，用于将燃料气体供给和排出到阳极和空气到阴极。 导电互连元件从燃料电池子组件延伸以与堆叠中的下一个盒体接触。 安装板和隔离板中的阳极开口由间隔环分开，使得盒不可压缩。 燃料电池堆包括多个盒，一个盒的安装板通过围绕互连的电介质密封件附接到下一相邻盒的隔板并与之隔绝。
