    摘要: This fuel cell stack includes: a coolant-supplying penetration hole and a coolant-discharging penetration hole each communicating with a coolant passage and each penetrates unit fuel cells in a stacking direction. A coolant-supplying penetration hole and a coolant-discharging penetration hole are arranged in a horizontal direction opposing with each other so as to sandwich a power generating region. The fuel cell stack further includes: an air draining penetration hole communicating with the coolant passage and arranged such that at least one part thereof is located at a higher position than an uppermost position of the coolant passage, and penetrates the unit fuel cells in the stacking direction; and a coolant draining penetration hole communicating with the coolant passage and arranged such that at least one part thereof is located at a lower position than a lowermost position of the coolant passage, and penetrates the unit fuel cells in the stacking direction.

    摘要: A fuel cell includes a membrane electrode assembly and a metal separator. The metal separator is stacked with the membrane electrode assembly. A reactant gas passage is provided between the membrane electrode assembly and the metal separator to supply a reactant gas along an electrode surface. The metal separator includes a reactant gas communication hole to communicate with the reactant gas passage. The metal separator further includes a plurality of groove groups each having a plurality of grooves press-formed to allow the reactant gas communication hole to communicate with the reactant gas passage. The grooves adjacent to each other are spaced apart by a first distance. The groove groups adjacent to each other are spaced apart by a second distance larger than the first distance.

    摘要: There has been a problem that the cell units cannot bear the load exerted on the units while being stacked since a fuel cell stack including a refrigerant channel formed between cell units each having an even number of electrolyte/electrode structures (MEA) and metal separators which are alternated does not have any structure supporting the separators forming the refrigerant channel in a stacking direction. In order to solve the above problem, in each of a first power generating unit and a second power generating unit, projections formed at the buffer portions of the separators are disposed in the same positions in the stacking direction with the MEA interposed therebetween. Since between the first and second power generating units, the projections of the buffer portions are staggered, the projections of the first and second power generating units are thereby disposed in the same positions in the stacking direction.
