Abstract
【解決手段】 本発明は、ガスの流れを膜電極接合体(MEA)に適合するために局部的に異なって構成される、PEM燃料電池のための通路構造について記載する。陰極入口(1)から始まって、MEAの単位面積当りの活性ガス流量が、ガス移送通路(3)の数及び/又は断面を変化させることによって、局部的に変えられ、この流量は陰極出口(2)に向かって減少する。本発明による通路構造の適切な構成によって、蒸気分圧を局部状態に最適に適合することが可能となる。この結果、物質転換は、これらの部位において電解質が乾燥することなく改善される。フローフィールド内のガスの湿度が小さい位置において、本発明による方策(増加した通路数または通路幅)が、流速をかなり低下させる。この結果、MEAからガス流への水の移動は減少され、MEAはそれほど乾燥しない。
