FLEXIBLE FUEL CELL GAS MANIFOLD SYSTEM

摘要

A fuel cell stack manifold system in which a flexible manifold body (45) includes a pan having a central area (52), sidewall (54) extending outward from the periphery of the central area (52), and at least one compound fold (60) comprising a central area fold (62) connecting adjacent portions of the central area (52) and extending between opposite sides of the central area (52), and a sidewall fold (64) connecting adjacent portions of the sidewall. The manifold system further includes a rail assembly (70) for attachment to the manifold body (45) and adapted to receive pins (92) by which dielectric insulators are joined to the manifold assembly.
