Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the flow field plate of a general small fuel cell, the size of the flow channel and manifold is usually smaller than that of a large fuel cell, so the flow resistance of the reaction fluid is relatively increased, which will lead to the concentration of the reaction fluid on the flow field plate Uneven distribution, which affects the performance of the fuel cell

Abstract

The invention provides a flat type fuel cell module and a flow field plate thereof.The flow field plate arranged inside a fuel cell module comprises at least two flow channels, a first manifold and a second manifold.The two flow channels are respectively formed on opposite sides of the flow field plate.The first manifold and the second manifold are formed inside the flow field plate.The first manifold and the second manifold communicate with the at least two flow channels.The reaction fluid flows from the first manifold into the flow field plate.Then the reaction fluid flows into the second manifold after passing through the two flow channels.Finally, the reaction fluid is discharged out of the flow field plate via the second manifold.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a flow field plate, in particular to a flow field plate arranged in a flat fuel cell module. Background technique [0002] See first figure 1 The single cell structure (single cell) 400 of the known proton exchange membrane fuel cell (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell, PEMFC) mainly includes a membrane electrode assembly 410 (membrane electrode assembly, MEA), two gas diffusion layers 405, 406 ( gas diffusion layer, GDL) and two flow field plates 401, 402 (fluid flow plate). The inner surfaces of the two flow field plates 401, 402 are respectively formed with independent flow channels (flow channels) 403, 404, which can be used to transport the reaction fluid. The membrane electrode assembly 410 mainly includes a proton exchange membrane 409 1. Anode (anode) catalyst layer 407 and cathode (cathode) catalyst layer 408, wherein the catalyst layers 407, 408 usually have platinum or platinum alloy and other components to...
