MOLDED COOLANT PLATE ASSEMBLY WITH INTEGRAL REACTANT FLOW FIELDS AND THERMAL DAM |
| 摘要 |
An end-cooler assembly for a fuel cell includes a cooler having a coolant tube array. A composite material includes flake graphite and hydrophobic polymer. The composite material surrounds the coolant tube array and provides a first side. A flow field is formed in the first side. A thermal dam is embedded in and is entirely surrounded by the composite material. The thermal dam is arranged between the coolant tube array and the flow field. The coolant tube array, composite material, flow field and thermal dam comprise a unitary, monolithic structure bound together by the composite material. |

1. An end-cooler assembly for a fuel cell comprising:
a cooler having a coolant tube array; a composite material including flake graphite and hydrophobic polymer, the composite material surrounding the coolant tube array and providing a first side; a reactant flow field formed in the first side; a thermal dam embedded in and entirely surrounded by the composite material, the thermal dam arranged between the coolant tube array and the flow field; and wherein the coolant tube array, composite material, flow field and thermal dam comprise a unitary, monolithic structure bound together by the composite material. |
