FLOW FIELD PLATE FOR A FUEL CELL WITH FEATURES TO ENHANCE REACTANT GAS DISTRIBUTION
摘要
A flow field plate for a fuel cell includes features in the gas input area that enhance gas distribution to the flow field channels. The input area of the flow field plate directs gases from an input manifold to the flow field channels. The input area includes one or more input channels which are defined by input channel walls. One or more features are included within the input area to enhance the distribution of the gas to the flow field channels. The gas distribution enhancement features may provide support for a sealing element to reduce blockage of the channels and/or may provide a path for fluid communication between adjacent input channels.
