| 发明名称 | Fuel cell system having a fluid flow distribution feature | ||
| 摘要 | A fuel cell system includes a water vapor transfer unit and a fluid flow distribution feature, the water vapor transfer unit including a first plate having a plurality of first flow channels for receiving a flow of a first fluid therein, and a second plate having a plurality of second flow channels for receiving a flow of a second fluid therein. The fluid flow distribution feature is configured to control at least one of a volume of flow of the first fluid through the first flow channels and a volume of flow of the second fluid through the second flow channels, wherein at least one of a flow distribution of the first fluid across the first plate and a flow distribution of the second fluid across the second plate is varied. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A fuel cell system comprising: a water vapor transfer unit including a first plate and a second plate, the first plate having a plurality of first flow channels for receiving a flow of a first fluid therein, and the second plate having a plurality of second flow channels for receiving a flow of a second fluid therein, wherein each of the first flow channels and each of the second flow channels includes an inlet and an outlet, wherein each of the first flow channels is substantially perpendicular along a length thereof to each of the second flow channels along a length thereof; and a fluid flow distribution feature configured to control at least one of a flow of the first fluid through each of the first flow channels and a flow of the second fluid through each of the second flow channels, wherein at least one of a flow distribution of the first fluid across the first plate is varied wherein the first fluid is unequally distributed amongst the plurality of first flow channels and a flow distribution of the second fluid across the second plate is varied wherein the second fluid is unequally distributed amongst the plurality of second flow channels, wherein the fluid flow distribution feature is configured to reduce a variation in relative humidity between the outlets of the first flow channels. | ||
