AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing fuel cell stacks suffer from uneven cooling, water buildup, and fuel waste, which affect efficiency and reliability.
Method used
By setting stops and barriers at the cathode and anode end plates of the fuel cell stack, fluid inflow into the flow field is restricted, fluid volume is reduced, and fluid distribution is optimized by using separate inlet and outlet covers.
Benefits of technology
It improves the power generation efficiency of fuel cell stacks, reduces uneven cooling and water buildup, and lowers production costs and carbon footprint.
