Abstract
A fuel cell system including a fuel cell, constructed as an integrated stack comprising a laminate, produced by stacking a plurality of cells between two end plates, and a fuel supply device for supplying fuel to the fuel cell. In this fuel cell system, a plurality of individual fuel supply ports, for supplying fuel independently from the fuel supply device to each of the plurality of cells, are formed on the end plates, thus forming individual fuel supply channels that deliver fuel from the plurality of individual fuel supply ports to the fuel electrodes of the corresponding cells, respectively. This fuel cell system is compact, and enables equal supply of a predetermined quantity of fuel to each of the plurality of cells.
Claims20
A fuel cell system comprising a fuel cell and a fuel supply device, wherein:
- the fuel cell comprises a plurality of cells stacked together in a stack;
- and
- an individual fuel supply port for supplying fuel from the fuel supply device is provided in each of the plurality of cells.
A fuel cell system comprising a fuel cell and a fuel supply device, wherein:
- the fuel cell is an integrated stack comprising a laminate, produced by stacking a plurality of cells, sandwiched between two end plates;
- a plurality of individual fuel supply ports, for supplying fuel independently from the fuel supply device to each of the plurality of cells, are formed on the end plates, thus forming an individual fuel supply channel that delivers fuel from each of the plurality of individual fuel supply ports to a fuel electrode of the corresponding cell.
