FUEL CELL STACK AND A METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A FUEL CELL STACK

摘要

A fuel cell stack (100) comprising a plurality of fuel cell assemblies (102) adjacent to one another. The fuel cell assemblies each comprise an extended portion (104, 106, 108) having an aperture (110, 112, 114) therein. The aperture (110, 112, 114) is configured to provide a fluid connection to a fluid flow channel of the fuel cell assembly (102). The fuel cell stack (100) also comprises a clip (120, 122, 124) located over and around at least part of the extended portions (104, 106, 108) of the plurality of the fuel cell assemblies (102). The clip (120, 122, 124) is configured to resist outward expansion of the extended portions (104, 106, 108).
