Abstract
An apparatus for activating a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for fuel cells includes: a frame. A plurality of separation plates are disposed on an upper side of a base plate, which is disposed on a top portion of the frame, to move straightly in a length direction. The plurality of separation plates are spaced apart from each other with the MEA interposed therebetween in the direction in which the separation plates move. A tilt unit, which is connected to the frame and the base plate, upwardly tilt the base plate with respect to the frame and remove a coolant generated when the MEA is activated.

An apparatus for activating a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for fuel cells, the apparatus comprising:
- a frame;
- a plurality of separation plates disposed on an upper side of a base plate, which is disposed on a top portion of the frame, to move straightly in a length direction, the plurality of separation plates spaced apart from each other with the MEA interposed therebetween in a direction in which the plurality of separation plates move;
- and
- a tilt unit, which is connected to the frame and the base plate, upwardly tilting the base plate with respect to the frame and removing a coolant generated when the MEA is activated.
An apparatus for activating an MEA for fuel cells, the apparatus comprising:
- a stationary body fixedly mounted on a top portion of a base plate;
- a movable body disposed on the top portion of the base plate to slide in a reciprocating motion along guide rails;
- a plurality of separation plates spaced apart from each other between the stationary body and the movable body and maintaining each space between the plurality of separation plates in which the MEA is interposed;
- and
- a connection link, which is connected to the stationary body and the movable body, link-coupling the plurality of separation plates at each side of the plurality of separation plates.
