Abstract
The present invention preferably provides a separator for a fuel cell, in which a strength reinforcing means is integrally formed in a region, which is not supported by a gasket, over the region from manifolds, through which reactant gases and coolant are supplied, to a reaction flow field, in which a reaction takes place, thus suitably preventing local deformation of the separator.
Claims4
A separator for a fuel cell, in which a reactant gas and coolant entrance region is provided at each of both ends, a reaction flow field region is provided between the reactant gas and coolant entrance regions, and a flow diffusion region is disposed between the reactant gas and coolant entrance region and the reaction flow field region, the separator comprising a strength reinforcing means integrally formed in the flow diffusion region to prevent local deformation of the separator.
