COMPACT FUEL CELL STACK WITH GAS PORTS

摘要

A fuel cell assembly includes a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) stack has a plurality of stacked planar membranes. The MEA stack further includes gas passageways arranged so that anode and cathode gases flow perpendicular to the planar membranes between a first side and a second side of the fuel cell assembly. Anode gas inlet and outlet ports and cathode gas inlet and outlet ports are disposed on the first side of the fuel cell assembly and coupled to the gas passageways of the MEA stack.
