FUEL CELL

摘要

In a fuel cell provided herein, the flow resistance of oxidant gas and that of oxidant off-gas in a cell stack are low to effectively reduce risk of gas leakage and risk of resultant destructive damage. The fuel cell comprises a cell stack 10 configured by stacking an anode plate 12 and a cathode plate 13 alternately while holding a cell 11 between central sections of the anode plate 12 and the cathode plate 13 and holding a cell holder 19 between peripheral sections of the anode plate 12 and the cathode plate 13. A fuel-containing gas intake manifold 10F is formed integrally on one of two sides of the cell stack 10 facing each other. A fuel off-gas exhaust manifold 10G is formed integrally on the other of these two sides. An oxidant gas intake manifold 10H is formed integrally on one of different two sides facing each other. A manifold is not formed on the other of the different two sides to form an exhaust port 15b on a lateral side of the cell stack 10 through which oxidant off-gas is released from a cathode side of the cell 11 in each layer.
