The invention discloses a reactor core of an air-cooled fuel
cell stack, the stack and a thermal management design method of the stack, and belongs to the technical field of
fuel cells. The reactor core of the air-cooled fuel
cell stack comprises a plurality of bipolar plates and a plurality of membrane electrodes which are sequentially stacked, the bipolar plate is formed by combining an
anode plate and a
cathode plate, a
hydrogen runner is arranged on the
anode surface, far away from the
cathode plate, of the
anode plate, and an air runner is arranged on the
cathode surface, far away from the anode plate, of the cathode plate; and an
air cooling runner is arranged between the anode plate and the cathode plate. The air-cooling fuel
cell stack comprises the stack core, and the opening direction of the air-cooling flow channel on the stack core is opposite to the air supply direction of an air-cooling fan. By adopting the air-cooled fuel cell stack, the problems of difficulty in balancing
oxygen and membrane
water content, environmental sensitivity, unstable performance and the like of a cathode
open type air-cooled fuel cell polar plate structure can be solved, the stack performance is improved, and the service life is prolonged.
