前記燃料電池モジュールは、
電解質膜と、前記電解質膜の両面を挟むように配置された第1と第2の電極とをそれぞれ有する第1と第2の膜電極接合体であって、前記第1の電極同士が対向するように配置された第1と第2の膜電極接合体と、
前記第1と第2の膜電極接合体の前記第1の電極に第1の反応ガスを供給するための第1の反応ガス流路と、
前記第1と第2の膜電極接合体の前記第2の電極に第2の反応ガスを供給するための第2の反応ガス流路と、
前記第1と第2の膜電極接合体の前記第2の電極を冷却するための冷却流路と、を有し、
前記燃料電池スタックは、前記第1の電極を冷却するための冷却流路を有さず、前記第1と第2の膜電極接合体の間に配置された第1の流路形成部材であって、前記第1の反応ガス流路が形成された第1の流路形成部材を有する、燃料電池スタック。
前記第1の流路形成部材は、前記第1と第2の膜電極接合体の前記第1の電極に前記第1の反応ガスを供給可能な多孔体である、燃料電池スタック。
適用例2に記載の燃料電池スタックによれば、第1の流路形成部材を多孔体によって形成することで、第1の流路形成部材の両側に配置された第1と第2の膜電極接合体の第1の電極に第1の反応ガスを容易に供給できる。
前記第1の流路形成部材は、板状の部材であり、
前記第1の膜電極接合体に対向する第1の面と、前記第2の膜電極接合体に対向する第2の面とを有し、
前記第1の反応ガス流路は、前記第1と第2の面に形成された溝である、燃料電池スタック。
適用例3に記載の燃料電池スタックによれば、板状の部材の両面に溝を形成することで、第1と第2の膜電極接合体の第1の電極に第1の反応ガスを供給することができる。
隣り合う前記燃料電池モジュールの間に配置された絶縁体を、備え、
前記冷却流路は、前記絶縁体の内部に形成されている、燃料電池スタック。

前記第1の電極は、カソードであり
前記第2の電極は、アノードである、燃料電池スタック。
一般に、電解質膜は高温ほど多くの水を含水できるという特徴を有する。一方で、カソードでは、電気化学反応により水が発生する。適用例5に記載の燃料電池スタックによれば、カソード側に冷却流路を有さず、アノード側に冷却流路を有することで、水が発生するカソードをアノードよりも高温に維持することができる。これにより、電解質膜のカソード側ではアノード側より多くの水を含水させることができ、電解質膜の水の勾配により、カソード側からアノード側へと水を拡散させることができる。よって、燃料電池スタックの小型化を図ることができる共に、電解質膜の含水率を均一化することができる。

D.変形例:
A-1.燃料電池システムの構成:
図1は、本発明の第1実施例としての燃料電池スタック10を備える燃料電池システム1の全体構成を示す説明図である。第1実施例の燃料電池システム1は、例えば車両に搭載され、車両の動力源として使用することができる。燃料電池システム1は、燃料電池スタック10と、酸化剤ガス供給部としてのエアポンプ60と、燃料ガス供給部としての水素タンク70と、冷却媒体供給部としてのラジエータ84と、燃料電池システムの運転を制御する制御部(図示せず)を備えている。さらに、燃料電池システム1は、反応ガスや冷却媒体が流通する配管62,64,72,77,78,82,86と、バルブ71,74と、循環ポンプ76,80とを備える。
図2は、燃料電池スタック10の内部構成を説明するための図である。図2は、燃料電池スタック10の概略構成を示している。燃料電池スタック10は、各構成の面と直交する方向に積層された複数の燃料電池モジュール40と、隣り合う燃料電池モジュール40の間に配置された絶縁体21と、外部回路(図示せず)と、を備える。燃料電池モジュール40は、2つの燃料電池セル42を備える。2つの燃料電池セル42は、同極同士が対向するように配置されている。各燃料電池セル42は、膜電極接合体の両側にガス拡散層を接合した膜電極ガス拡散層接合体(MEGA:Membrane Electrode & Gas Diffusion Layer Assembly)30と、MEGAの両面を挟むように配置された第1と第2のセパレータ22,26とを備える。第1と第2のセパレータ22,26は板状の部材であり、両面には溝が形成されている。形成された溝には、各マニホールド63,73,86(図1)から分配され供給された反応ガス(空気、水素)や冷却水が流通する。該溝に反応ガスが流通することで、MEGA30を構成する各電極に反応ガスが供給され、電気化学反応による発電に供される。また、冷却水によって燃料電池スタック10の温度調節が行われる。以上のように、第1と第2のセパレータ22,26の両面の溝は、反応ガスや冷却水を流通させるための流路として機能する。
図6は、燃料電池スタック10の効果を説明するための図である。図6(A)は、第1実施例の燃料電池スタック10の3-3断面図である。図6(B)は、比較例の燃料電池スタック10gの3-3断面図に相当する断面図である。なお、外部回路の図示は省略している。
厚さa=3t1+2t2+t3 (1)
厚さb=4t1+2t2 (2)
厚さa<厚さb (3)
図9は、第2実施例の燃料電池スタック10aの内部構成を説明するための図である。第1実施例の燃料電池スタック10との違いは、第1のセパレータ22aの構成である。その他の構成については第1実施例の燃料電池スタック10と同様の構成であるため、同様の構成については、同一符号を付すと共に説明を省略する。また、燃料電池システムのその他の構成(図1:水素タンク70、ラジエータ84等)は、第1実施例と同様の構成であるため説明を省略する。なお、図9は、図2に相当する図である。
図10は、第3実施例の燃料電池スタック10bを説明するための図である。第1実施例の燃料電池スタック10との違いは、絶縁体21b及び第2のセパレータ26bの構成である。その他の構成については第1実施例の燃料電池スタック10と同様の構成であるため、同様の構成については、同一符号を付すと共に説明を省略する。また、燃料電池システムのその他の構成(図1:水素タンク70、ラジエータ84等)は、第1実施例と同様の構成であるため説明を省略する。なお、図10は、図3に相当する図である。但し、外部回路45(図3)の図示は省略している。
厚さc=t1+2t2+t1+t1/2=(5t1/2)+2t2 (4)
なお、上記実施例における構成要素の中の、特許請求の範囲の独立項に記載した要素以外の要素は、付加的な要素であり、適宜省略可能である。また、本発明の上記実施例や実施形態に限られるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々の形態において実施することが可能であり、例えば次のような変形も可能である。
上記実施例では、燃料電池モジュール40において、カソード33が対向するようにMEGA30が配置されていたが(図3)、アノード34が対向するようにMEGA30を配置しても良い。このようにしても、燃料電池スタック10,10a,10bは、対向するアノード34を冷却するための冷却流路を有さないため、アノード34を冷却するための冷却流路を有する燃料電池スタックに比べて、小型化を図ることができる。
上記第3実施例において、反応ガス流路25a,25bは板状の部材(第1と第2のセパレータ)22,26bに溝を形成することで形成されていたが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、第1と第2のセパレータ22,26bの少なくとも一方を多孔体としても良い。こうすることで、反応ガス流路を容易に形成することができる。
上記実施例では、燃料電池スタック10~10bは、ガス拡散層36,37を備えていたが(図3)、省略可能である。この場合、カソード33及びアノード34の面内方向に均一に反応ガスを供給するために、反応ガス流路は多孔体22a(図9)で形成することが好ましい。
上記実施例では、燃料電池スタック10~10bに固体高分子型燃料電池を用いたが、リン酸型燃料電池、溶融炭酸塩型燃料電池、固体酸化物形燃料電池等、種々の燃料電池を用いることができる。
上記実施例の燃料電池スタック10~10bのいずれかを備えた燃料電池システム1は、車両に限らず、船舶等の各種移動体に搭載され、各種移動体の動力源として用いることができる。また、燃料電池システム1を定置型電源として用いることもできる。
