FOLDED METAL BIPOLAR SHEETS FOR FUEL CELLS

摘要

In a fuel cell stack, a bipolar separator plate having two joined together coextensive separator plate elements having perpendicularly disposed corrugated regions and forming a coolant chamber there between. By virtue of this arrangement, fuel and oxidant gases fed to the fuel cell stack have a cross-flow relationship. Internal stack manifolding is provided for distribution of a coolant to each of the coolant chambers.
