FUEL CELL HAVING WATER BLISTER GENERATION PREVENTION STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972097 titled 'FUEL CELL HAVING WATER BLISTER GENERATION PREVENTION STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fuel cell design that prevents the formation of water blisters between the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket. This is achieved by using an adhesive with a water discharge passage, allowing water collected at certain areas to be discharged to the cathode or anode.
- The fuel cell design prevents the formation of water blisters between the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket.
- An adhesive with a water discharge passage is used to bond the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket.
- Water collected at specific areas, such as between the distal end of the electrolyte membrane and the sub-gasket or between the distal ends of the cathode and anode and the sub-gasket, can be discharged through the water discharge passage.
- This design effectively prevents the generation of water blisters in the bonded areas.
Potential Applications
- Fuel cell technology
- Renewable energy systems
- Electric vehicles
- Portable power sources
Problems Solved
- Prevention of water blister formation in fuel cells
- Ensuring proper bonding between the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket
- Efficient discharge of collected water
Benefits
- Improved reliability and durability of fuel cells
- Enhanced performance and efficiency of fuel cell systems
- Reduced maintenance and repair costs
- Extended lifespan of fuel cell components
Original Abstract Submitted
A fuel cell having a water blister generation prevention structure, which may bond between a membrane-electrode assembly and a sub-gasket of a fuel cell by an adhesive having a water discharge passage so that the water collected at a portion between a distal end of an electrolyte membrane and the sub-gasket bonded by the adhesive or a portion between distal ends of a cathode and an anode and the sub-gasket bonded by the adhesive may be discharged to the cathode or the anode through a water discharge passage, thereby easily preventing water blister from being generated at a portion between the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket bonded by the adhesive.
