1. Field
Embodiments relate to a fuel cell stack and a fuel cell system including the same.
2. Description of the Related Art
The above and other features and advantages will become more apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art by describing in detail exemplary embodiments with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a fuel cell system according to an embodiment;
FIG. 2 illustrates an exploded perspective view of a fuel cell stack in a fuel cell system according to an embodiment;
Korean Patent Application No. 10-2009-0125059, filed on Dec. 15, 2009, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and entitled: “Fuel Cell Stack and Fuel Cell System Having the Same,” is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
Example embodiments will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, they may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
In the drawing figures, the dimensions of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity of illustration. It will also be understood that when a layer or element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other element, or intervening elements may also be present. In addition, it will also be understood that when an element is referred to as being “between” two elements, it can be the only element between the two elements, or one or more intervening elements may also be present. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.
