Abstract
A dielectric member for electrically insulating a manifold or other component from a liquid electrolyte fuel cell stack wherein the dielectric member is adapted to include a barrier which chemically reacts with the liquid electrolyte to form solid products which are stable in the liquid electrolyte.
Claims18
A dielectric member for use in electronically insulating a manifold or other component from a liquid electrolyte fuel cell, said dielectric member including a barrier which chemically reacts with the liquid electrolyte to form solid products which are stable in the electrolyte.
A liquid electrolyte fuel cell system comprising:
- a liquid electrolyte fuel cell stack;
- a manifold member abutting a surface of said liquid electrolyte fuel cell stack;
- a dielectric member situated between said manifold member and said surface of said liquid electrolyte fuel cell stack, said dielectric member including a barrier which chemically reacts with the liquid electrolyte to form solid products which are stable in the liquid electrolyte.
