Sealing/Support Means TRIZ Cases
- Fuel Cell Sealing Device with Rigid Frame and Centering Pins
Segmented sealing frames reduce maintenance costs while maintaining reliability through vulcanized gaskets.
- Fuel Cell Sealing Member Mold Releasability via Fatty Acid
Fatty acid potassium or sodium in the rubber composition improves mold releasability without compromising adhesiveness or dimensional accuracy.
- B2O3-Free Sealing Glass for High-Temperature Fuel Cells
Removing B2O3 prevents electrode contamination while maintaining electrical insulation in solid oxide fuel cell seals.
- Expandable Refractory Sealing for Fuel Cell Thermal Contraction
Unexpanded vermiculite within the refractory matrix expands by 5 to 50 percent at 1200°F, compensating for binder shrinkage to maintain sealing integrity.
- Fuel Cell MEA Seal via Porous Coating and Injection Molding
An elastomeric seal circumscribes the active area of a framed membrane electrode assembly using flow-processable material injected through a frame through-hole.
- Fuel Cell Separator Projections for Gas Sealability
Projections on fuel cell separators compress fiber sheets to reduce microvoids, preventing hydrogen and air leakage through the seal.
