Ultrasonic bonding fixes gas diffusion layers to reinforcements without external heating, cutting assembly time while preserving rigidity and integrity.
A two-plate tightening structure with a convex pressing part keeps fuel cell stack pressure uniform, lowering contact resistance and stress concentration.
Arc-shaped tunnel bodies and a joint channel bypass the seal to discharge water smoothly, limiting backflow and pressure drop.
Tapered end-unit supports stabilize a vent tube in the cooling discharge path, enabling accurate placement and reliable air bubble removal.
A flexible frame with bent protrusions adapts to separator variation, improving manifold insulation and cell positioning during stack assembly.
Reduced web heights in bipolar plate distribution regions connect adjacent ducts, suppress cross currents, and prevent fuel cell hot spots.
Adjusting stack clamping force after deterioration is detected helps prevent catalyst layer collapse and extend fuel cell life.
Asymmetric corner aligning elements position and glue fuel cell plate halves accurately without disturbing the flow field or adding parts.
Oxygen-based voltage ramp control during fuel cell shutdown limits stack deterioration while keeping battery charging power within bounds.
Dynamic loading current control uses stack monolithic voltage thresholds to shorten fuel cell startup while preventing high-potential corrosion.
Adjusts cathode air flow from hydrogen off-gas diffusion through the humidifier to protect oxygen concentration, output, and durability.
Non-contact height sensing and elevation control keep the fuel cell stacking surface aligned, cutting conveyance distance and energy use.
Ventilation portions in a resin frame keep manifold gas paths open, preserving fuel cell sealing and steady gas supply to the power unit.
A dividable bar holder with detachable positioning bars improves fuel cell stacking accuracy, holding stability, and removal efficiency.
Branching inlet and outlet channels distribute and discharge large oxygen flows evenly across multiple fuel cell stacks for higher power density.
