Manifold and sealing assembly for fuel cell stack

摘要

A manifold and manifold sealing assembly for use with a fuel cell stack having a plurality of faces in which the assembly includes a plurality of frame assemblies and a plurality of manifolds, and at least one frame assembly adjacent a given face of the fuel cell stack provides support for a part of the frame assembly abutting the face of the stack adjacent the one face. Additionally, the manifold abutting the one frame assembly and the manifold abutting the supported frame assembly are adapted to sealingly engage in the area of support.
