The counter-flow designs of this hydrogen and air are for the ease of cathode inlet close to cathode inlet, thus dense due to water
It spends gradient and to realize water coke slurry by film, because the water that big quantitative response generates is assembled in cathode outlet, and it is corresponding
Hydrone concentration is lower at hydrogen inlet, and water is acted on and due to the concentration difference at two across proton exchange membrane so that hydrogen moistens
It is wet, guarantee that the hydrogen ion that catalytic action generates there can be enough hydrones to carry through exchange membrane, reduces ohm pole of battery
Change, improves the output performance of monocell.
The sectional area of air intake is greater than the sectional area of outlet, and reason for this is that air to react in bipolar plates
Afterwards, oxygen is consumed a part, and the volume of gas becomes smaller, and the sectional area exported reduces the gas that can guarantee entire reaction process
The uniformity of bulk concentration；In addition it can increase the back pressure of air flow channel, to reduce to provide the pneumatics of pressure and flow
The pressure loss of machine reduces power output, improves the operational efficiency of whole system；
The sectional area of hydrogen inlet is greater than the sectional area of hydrogen outlet, and when the import volume for increasing hydrogen gas, reaction is remaining
Hydrogen can be recycled by hydrogen outlet, reduce fuel cell gas inlet and outlet pressure difference, increase the intracavitary gas of fuel gas
The uniformity of bulk concentration increases the performance of fuel cell, extends the service life of membrane electrode.
The sectional area of cooling water inlet is less than the sectional area of outlet, and reason for this is that one side pile reaction process
In most of heat be to be generated in the first half of runner, the sectional area of the entrance of cooling water reduces, then identical water pump
Cooling water flow velocity increases under power, and the sectional area of heat-sinking capability enhancing, this outer vent increases, and can reduce the resistance of cooling water flow conduits
Power.Further, the air entry and exit, the sectional area of fuel gas entry and exit and the change of cooling water entry and exit are adopted
With the mode for changing entrance width.
Referring to figs. 2 and 3, the air flow field and hydrogen flow field of the cathode plate and cathode plate are all made of combined type flow field
Design improve the stability of entire reaction process energy output to reinforce the uniformity of gas distribution.So-called combined type

Lesser reactive flowfield region (C1, C2 and A1, A2)；The single-pass of hydrogen and air is set at both ends relative to original bipolar plates
Road inlet port, change into both ends be arranged two hydrogen and air inlet and outlet, two independent flow fields carry out respectively hydrogen and
The flowing of air, it is non-interference；And cooling water flow (B) due to fluid uniformity distribution requirement be not very high, so
The processing for just not doing two independent basin designs, is also beneficial to the processing of product in this way.
The design in this separate type flow field had both shortened gas in pile internal flow process, so that including hydrogen and air
Portion's runner is easier to distribute, while also assuring making full use of for entire reactive flowfield region, and alleviates internal gas stream
The design and difficulty of processing in road have good advantage for the processing of the flow field conversion zone of large area, can structural reform well
The power density of entire pile.
The small flow field of independence that separation design goes out is carried out further for entire flow field, in addition to two small flow fields of independence
Outside, we can also further be increased, and can extend to N number of (N >=2)；And the structure of cooling water flow (B) is set
Meter, because the film-cooled heat is relatively little, we use the design for the cooling water flow conduits singly imported and exported, but work as cooling surface
When product demand is larger, coolant flow field can also be arranged to N number of small flow field of independent separate type (N >=2), to improve entire double
The cooling capacity of pole plate strengthens heat dissipation, guarantees the operating temperature of pile in default range.
It is petiolarea under the anode upper end areas, anode stream place, anode seal area, anode on anode flow field board, fixed with reference to Fig. 2
Position hole shares one of anode seal circle 307 and seals.With reference to Fig. 3, cathode upper end areas, cathode flow field area on cathode flow field plate,
Petiolarea, location hole share one of cathode sealing ring 112 and seal under cathode.Such design reduces sealing ring in entire flow-field plate
On accounting, increase participated on cathode plate and cathode plate chemical reaction flow field area, promote entire flow-field plate summation watt rating
Density.
Furthermore between cathode plate and the hydrogen outlet and cooling water inlet of cathode plate, hydrogen inlet and cooling water outlet it
Between be provided with location hole 111,314, to the fixed and positioned of entire bipolar plates, guarantee the neat and consistent of installation.
Using the fuel cell of structure of the present invention, the sectional area of fuel gas inlet is greater than fuel gas outlet
Sectional area, the sectional area of air intake are greater than the sectional area of air outlet slit, and the sectional area of cooling water inlet is less than cooling water outlet
Sectional area, the air inflow of air and fuel, same Airflow can be increased under conditions of bipolar plates of the same area in this way
The sectional area increase of the outlet in road helps to increase the back pressure of reaction air, reduces the power loss of air compressor machine, the pressure of cooling water
Drop reduces, and reduces the power loss of water pump, reduces the added power dissipation of system, while increasing the import volume of fuel gas, makes
Its import volume is greater than its reaction equivalent, increases the uniformity of fuel gas intracavity gas concentration, increases the performance of fuel cell, prolong
The service life of long membrane electrode.
