Embodiment Construction
[0045] figure 1 An electrochemical system 1 according to the invention is shown comprising a stack 2 of identically designed separator plates stacked in z-direction 7 and clamped between two end plates 3,4. The separator plates are here formed as bipolar plates and each comprise two individual plates connected to each other. In this example, system 1 is a fuel cell stack. Each two adjacent bipolar plates of the stack 2 thus enclose between them an electrochemical cell designed to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. In alternative embodiments, the system 1 can also be formed as an electrolyzer, an electrochemical compressor or a humidifier for a fuel cell system. Separator plates are also used in those electrochemical systems. The structure of these separator plates corresponds to the structure of the bipolar plates explained in more detail here, even if the medium guided on or through the separator plates is different.
[0046] The z-axis 7 spans a right-handed...
