Abstract
A system for fabricating a fuel cell component in which a deposition mechanism deposits loading material particles onto the fuel cell component and an actuation mechanism actuates the deposition mechanism. A unit provides a tape fixing agent to the fuel cell component and loaded material particles so as to retain the particles on the fuel cell component. Other fuel components are retained to the fuel cell component also using a tape fixing agent.
Claims19
A method of fabricating a fuel cell component for use with or as part of a fuel cell in a fuel cell stack, the method comprising:
- depositing loading material onto the fuel cell component;
- applying a tape fixing agent to the fuel cell component and the loading material to maintain positioning of the loading material relative to the fuel cell component.
An assembly for use with or as part of a fuel cell stack, the assembly comprising:
- a fuel cell component;
- a loading material deposited on said fuel cell component;
- and
- a tape fixing agent cooperative with the fuel cell component and loading material to maintain positioning of the loading material on said fuel cell component.
