BAFFLE FOR USE IN A FUEL CELL MANIFOLD

摘要

According to an embodiment, an assembly for use in a fuel cell includes a manifold having at least one inlet and at least one surface configured to facilitate fluid flow from the inlet along a direction in the manifold. A baffle is situated generally parallel to the direction of flow. The baffle has a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. The first portion is closer to the inlet than the second portion. The second portion is closer to the inlet than the third portion. The first portion has a first width situated generally perpendicular to the flow direction. The second portion has a second width situated generally perpendicular to the flow direction. The second width is less than the first width. The third portion has a third width situated generally perpendicular to the flow direction. The third width is greater than the second width.
