Abstract
A fuel cell is provided for which it is not necessary to give consideration to the direction of installation. The fuel cell includes: an electrolyte layer; a first electrode provided on a first main surface of the electrolyte layer; a second electrode provided on a second main surface of the electrolyte layer; a casing which houses the electrolyte layer, the first electrode and the second electrode; a first reaction product fluid discharge opening provided in the casing; and a second reaction fluid feed opening provided in the casing. The first reaction product discharge opening is provided on at least two surfaces of the casing. Or, the reaction product discharge openings are provided on a surface on which the second reaction fluid feeding opening is provided.
Claims13
A fuel cell, comprising:
- an electrolyte layer;
- a first electrode, provided on a first main surface of said electrolyte layer, in which a first liquid reaction fluid is supplied and a first gaseous reaction product is produced;
- a second electrode, provided on a second main surface of said electrolyte layer, in which a second reaction fluid is supplied;
- a casing which houses said electrolyte layer, said first electrode and said second electrode;
- a first reaction product fluid discharge opening, provided in said casing, which discharges the first reaction product from said first electrode;
- and
- a second reaction fluid feed opening, provided in said casing, which supplies the second fluid reaction fluid to said second electrode,
- wherein said first reaction product discharge opening is provided on at least two surfaces of said casing.
A fuel cell, comprising:
- an electrolyte layer;
- a first electrode, provided on a first main surface of said electrolyte layer, in which a first liquid reaction fluid is supplied and a first gaseous reaction product is produced;
- a second electrode, provided on a second main surface of said electrolyte layer, in which a second reaction fluid is supplied;
- a casing which houses said electrolyte layer, said first electrode and said second electrode;
- a first reaction product fluid discharge opening, provided in said casing, which discharges the first reaction product from said first electrode;
- and
- a second reaction fluid feed opening, provided in said casing, which supplies the second fluid reaction fluid to said second electrode,
- wherein said first reaction product discharge opening is provided on a surface on which said second reaction fluid feed opening is provided.
A fuel cell, comprising:
- an electrolyte membrane;
- an anode electrode and a cathode electrode with said electrolyte membrane interposed therebetween;
- a fuel chamber which stores a liquid fuel supplied directly to said anode electrode;
- and
- a gas-liquid separation unit provided on a side of said fuel chamber.
