METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING MEMBRANE-ELECTRODE-GAS DIFFUSION LAYER ASSEMBLY FOR FUEL CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18345776 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING MEMBRANE-ELECTRODE-GAS DIFFUSION LAYER ASSEMBLY FOR FUEL CELL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for manufacturing a membrane-electrode-gas diffusion layer assembly (MEGA) fabric, involving bonding a gas diffusion layer (GDL) material to a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) fabric, injecting liquid material, supplying compressed gas, inspecting the fabric, and winding it around a MEGA winding unit.

  • Bonding GDL material to MEA fabric
  • Injecting liquid material to the fabric
  • Supplying compressed gas to the fabric
  • Inspecting the fabric with a surface inspection device
  • Winding the fabric around a MEGA winding unit

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in the manufacturing of fuel cells, batteries, and other energy storage devices.

Problems Solved

This method streamlines the manufacturing process of MEGA fabrics, ensuring proper bonding and absorption of materials.

Benefits

The method improves the efficiency and quality of MEGA fabric production, leading to more reliable and durable energy storage devices.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Manufacturing Process for MEGA Fabric in Energy Storage Devices"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to methods for manufacturing composite materials in the energy storage industry.

Unanswered Questions

What specific types of liquid materials are suitable for injection in this process?

The abstract does not specify the exact composition of the liquid material used in the process.

How does the surface inspection device determine the quality of the MEGA fabric?

The abstract does not detail the specific criteria or parameters used by the surface inspection device to assess the fabric's surface state.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an embodiment a method includes manufacturing a membrane-electrode-gas diffusion layer assembly (MEGA) fabric by bonding a gas diffusion layer (GDL) material to a first surface of a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) fabric, injecting, by a steam injector, a liquid material to a first surface of the MEGA fabric while allowing the liquid material to be absorbed to the first surface of the MEGA fabric, supplying, by a gas injector, compressed gas to a second surface of the MEGA fabric in which the liquid material has been absorbed, inspecting, by a surface inspection device, a surface state of the MEGA fabric after supplying the compressed gas and, after inspecting, winding the MEGA fabric around a MEGA winding unit.
