FASTENING STRUCTURE FOR FUEL CELL

摘要

A fuel cell stack has a plurality of fuel cells, separators sandwiching each of the fuel cells, and first and second end plates disposed on respective opposite ends of the plurality of fuel cells. A fastening structure incorporated in the fuel cell stack has a liquid chamber disposed on an outer surface of the first end plate, a silicone oil filled in the liquid chamber, and a pressurizing mechanism disposed on an outer surface of the second end plate, for pressing the fuel cells toward the first end plate. The plurality of fuel cells is given a uniform surface pressure, and can be reduced in weight and made compact.
