Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Brennstoffzellenstapel gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1, Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Brennstoffzellenstapels gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 6.The invention relates to a fuel cell stack according to the preamble of
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbesserten Brennstoffzellenstapel sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung dessen anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide a comparison with the prior art improved fuel cell stack and a method for producing the same.
Hinsichtlich des Brennstoffzellenstapels wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale und hinsichtlich des Verfahrens durch die im Anspruch 6 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.With regard to the fuel cell stack, the object is achieved by the features specified in
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Ein Brennstoffzellenstapel umfasst eine Mehrzahl gestapelter Brennstoffzellen, welche jeweils zumindest aus einer Bipolarplatte, einer Membran-Eiektroden-Einheit und einem Rahmenelement gebildet sind, wobei das Rahmenelement zumindest an der Bipolarplatte und/oder an der Membran-Elektroden-Einheit fluiddicht befestigt ist.A fuel cell stack includes a plurality of stacked fuel cells each formed of at least one of a bipolar plate, a membrane electrode assembly, and a frame member, the frame member being fluid-tightly secured to at least the bipolar plate and / or the membrane-electrode assembly.
Erfindungsgemäß ist das Rahmenelement einer ersten Bipolarplatte mit dem Rahmenelement einer benachbarten zweiten Bipolarplatte stoffschlüssig verbunden.According to the invention, the frame element of a first bipolar plate is adhesively connected to the frame element of an adjacent second bipolar plate.
Die stoffschlüssige Verbindung der Rahmenelemente ermöglicht die Erzeugung einer gleichmäßigen Vorspannung in dem Brennstoffzellenstapel, wobei Spannelemente, wie z. B. Spannbänder, eingespart werden können. Damit ist in vorteilhafter Art und Weise eine kosten- und zeiteffiziente Herstellung eines Brennstoffzellenstapels, insbesondere in einer Massenproduktion, möglich. Auch die chemischen und elektrischen Eigenschaften des Brennstoffzellenstapels sind besonders vorteilhaft ausgebildet, da aufgrund der vorbestimmbaren konstanten Vorspannung der Rahmenelemente und der Membran-Elektroden-Einheiten konstante chemische Bedingungen und Prozesse erzielt werden können, woraus sich für jede Brennstoffzelle des Brennstoffzellenstapels gleiche elektrische Eigenschaften ergeben.The cohesive connection of the frame elements allows the generation of a uniform bias in the fuel cell stack, wherein clamping elements, such as. B. straps can be saved. Thus, a cost and time-efficient production of a fuel cell stack, in particular in a mass production, is possible in an advantageous manner. The chemical and electrical properties of the fuel cell stack are formed particularly advantageous because due to the pre-definable constant bias of the frame members and the membrane electrode units constant chemical conditions and processes can be achieved, resulting in the same electrical properties for each fuel cell of the fuel cell stack.
