FUEL CELL STACK HAVING A SENSOR, AND METHOD USED FOR PRODUCING A FUEL CELL STACK HAVING THE SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18245010 titled 'FUEL CELL STACK HAVING A SENSOR, AND METHOD USED FOR PRODUCING A FUEL CELL STACK HAVING THE SENSOR

Simplified Explanation

The invention is about a fuel cell stack that consists of multiple fuel cells with different ports for cathode gas, anode gas, and coolant. The fuel cell stack also includes two end plates where the fuel cells are arranged.

  • The end plates have inlet and outlet openings for the cathode gas, anode gas, and coolant, which are connected to the respective ports of the fuel cells.
  • The fuel cell stack also includes at least one sensor that is inserted through an additional opening in one of the end plates and into one of the ports of the fuel cells.
  • The sensor is used to monitor and measure the conditions inside the fuel cells, such as the gas and coolant flow rates, temperature, and pressure.
  • The method for producing the fuel cell stack is not specified in the abstract.


Original Abstract Submitted

The invention relates to a fuel cell stack () having a plurality of fuel cells () which have an inlet-side cathode port (), anode port () and coolant port () and an outlet-side cathode port (), anode port () and coolant port (), wherein the fuel cell stack () also has: two end plates () between which the plurality of fuel cells () are arranged, wherein at least one of the end plates () has inlet openings () and outlet openings () for a cathode gas, an anode gas and a coolant, which are each fluidically connected to the inlet-side and outlet-side cathode ports (), anode ports () and coolant ports (), and at least one sensor () which is guided through at least one additional opening () in at least one of the end plates () into one of the inlet-side or outlet-side cathode ports (), anode ports () or coolant ports (). The invention also relates to a method for producing the fuel cell stack ().
