    摘要: A bipolar plate for an electrochemical cell, includes a flow space arranged between a first and a second plate element and has a flow inlet and a flow outlet for a coolant flowing through the flow space. Each plate element has a contact plane for contacting the other plate element and, between the flow inlet and the flow outlet, a plurality of elevations protrude from the contact plane and face away from the other plate element. The elevations have openings facing the contact plane. First flow channels are formed through the openings in the elevations by the elevations of the two plate elements being offset from one another. Each elevation at least partially overlaps at least one elevation of the other plate element. A direction-dependent flow resistance is set in the first flow channels of the bipolar plate.

    摘要: A device and method for determining the purity of hydrogen, includes a measurement fuel cell cascade having at least one measurement fuel cell, a hydrogen inlet and a hydrogen outlet, a cell voltage monitoring unit that is electrically connected to the measurement fuel cell stack and monitors a voltage output of the measurement fuel cell stack, and a valve located downstream of the measurement fuel cell cascade in the direction of flow of the hydrogen for allowing dead-end operation of the measurement fuel cell cascade. The device for determining the purity of hydrogen further includes an evaluation unit that is connected to the cell voltage monitoring unit and receives a signal corresponding to a voltage output of the measurement fuel cell cascade from the cell voltage monitoring unit as a function of time, wherein the evaluation unit is designed to determine the purity of the hydrogen from the received signal.
