摘要： A fuel cell 12 has a liquid electrolyte 20, a cathode electrode 28, and an anode electrode 26. The fuel cell includes an electrolyte condensation zone 58 extending from an edge 56 of a first catalyst layer 36 on the cathode electrode to an outer edge 48 of an edge seals 52 and 49. An anode electrode has an anode catalyst layer 30 with an end substantially coinciding with an inner edge 53 of the edge seals. The acid condensation zone is located near the reactant exit, so that electrolyte that has evaporated into the reactant stream can condense out before leaving the fuel cell for re-absorption back into the fuel cell.

摘要： A fuel cell assembly (20) has a plurality of characteristics that extend the useful life of the assembly. In one example, flow field layers are non-porous and hydrophobic such that they have an acid absorption rate of less than about 0.10 mg/khr-cm2. An electrolyte retaining matrix has a reaction rate with phosphoric acid of less than about 0.010 mg/khr-cm2. Hydrophilic substrates associated with catalyst layers have an initial transferable phosphoric acid content of less than about 25 mg/cm2. A condensation zone provides an evaporative phosphoric acid loss rate that is less than about 0.17 mg/khr-cm2.

摘要： Ammonia which is found in fuel cell fuel gases is removed therefrom by passing the fuel gas stream through a scrubber bed of porous carbon pellets containing phosphoric acid. The ammonia reacts with the phosphoric acid in the scrubber bed to form ammonium phosphate compounds which remain in the scrubber bed. The ammonia content of the fuel gas stream is thus lowered to a concentration of about one ppm or less. By maintaining the temperature of the fuel gas stream passing through the scrubber bed in a range of about 400.degree. F. to about 450.degree. F. sufficient phosphoric acid will also be evaporated from the scrubber bed to replace acid electrolyte lost during operation of the power plant. Adjustments in the temperature of the fuel gas flowing through the scrubber may be made in order to match electrolyte losses which occur during different operating phases of the power plant. The scrubber formed in accordance with this invention thus serves two functions, one being to remove ammonia from the fuel gas stream, and the other being to replenish electrolyte lost in the power plant during normal operation thereof.
摘要翻译：在燃料电池燃料气体中发现的氨通过使燃料气流通过含有磷酸的多孔碳粒料的洗涤床而被除去。氨与洗涤床中的磷酸反应形成残留在洗涤床中的磷酸铵化合物。因此，燃料气流的氨含量降低至约1ppm或更低的浓度。通过将通过洗涤器床的燃料气体流的温度保持在约400°F至约450°F的范围内。足够的磷酸也将从洗涤床中蒸发以代替在功率运行期间损失的酸性电解质厂。可以对流过洗涤器的燃料气体的温度进行调节，以便匹配在发电厂的不同运行阶段期间发生的电解质损失。因此，根据本发明形成的洗涤器具有两个功能，一个是从燃料气流中除去氨，另一个是在正常操作期间补充在发电厂中损失的电解质。

摘要： A method of heat treating a substrate for a fuel cell includes stacking substrates to form a group. A dimension is determined for a plate corresponding to a resulting mass that is less than a predetermined mass. The plate is arranged above the group to apply a weight of the plate to the group. The resulting masses for spacer plates and intermediate lifting plates, for example, are minimized to reduce the pressure differential between the bottom and top substrates in the heat treat assembly. In another disclosed method, a dimension for a plate, such as a top plate, is determined that corresponds to a resulting mass that is greater than a predetermined mass. The plate is arranged above the group to apply a weight of the plate to the group. The top plate resulting mass is selected to minimize a variation in the average pressure of the substrates throughout the heat treat assembly.

摘要： The invention includes an anode fuel flow field (100) adjacent a fuel cell (12) electrolyte (18) that defines a fuel path (102) between a fuel inlet (108) and a fuel outlet (110) and includes a cooler plate (118) in heat exchange relationship with the anode fuel flow field (100) that defines a coolant path (120) between a coolant inlet (126) and a coolant outlet (128). The fuel path (102) has a width (132) that is about the same as a width (134) of the coolant path (120) where the fuel path (102) and the coolant path (120) are closest to each other, and the fuel path (102) substantially overlies the coolant path (120) to minimize evaporation of water from water management flow fields (20) (22) and/or the electrolyte (18) into the fuel within the fuel path (102).
