STRUCTURE TO UNIFORMLY APPLY LOAD ON EACH POWER GENERATING CELL OF FUEL CELL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent breakage of a power generating cell of a lower part by uniforming a load to each of the power generating cells. SOLUTION: One each of separator 12 and (n) pieces of the separators in total are interposed between a fuel electrode layer 11b of the No.(i) power generating cell 11 and an oxidant electrode layer 11c of the No.(i+1) power generating cell 11 out of (n+1) pieces of the power generating cells 11. A connecting member 18 is electrically insulated and inserted in the layered direction of the separators 12 on an outer peripheral part of (n) pieces of the separators 12. (n) pieces of the separators 12 are separately and individually fixed on the connecting member 18 by a fixing member 20 every other pieces or every plural number of pieces when layering (n+1) pieces of the power generating cells and (n) pieces of the separators.
