Fuel Cell Assembly And Sealing

US Patent:
2003022, Dec 4, 2003
Filed:
Mar 20, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/392554
Inventors:
Jeffrey Smith - Brighton MI, US
Michael Moore - Canton MI, US
Steven Haycock - Northville MI, US
International Classification:
H01M002/08, H01M004/88
US Classification:
029/623200, 502/101000
Abstract:
A method of assembling the components of a membrane electrode sealed assembly is disclosed. The method includes employing at least one roll with cell sections in order to allow for better alignment of the cell sections of the component layers. Preferably an adhesive is pre-coated onto gasket layers, with the adhesive activated after assembly of the component layers in order to secure the membrane electrode sealed assembly together. The membrane electrode sealed assembly can then be assembled between separator plates to form an individual cell of a fuel cell assembly.

Fuel Cell Seal With Integral Bridge

US Patent:
7670709, Mar 2, 2010
Filed:
Dec 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/541119
Inventors:
Steve George Koch - Gregory MI, US
Jeffrey Alan Smith - Brighton MI, US
Assignee:
Freudenberg-NOK General Partnership - Plymouth MI
International Classification:
H01M 8/02, H01M 8/10
US Classification:
429 35
Abstract:
The invention is drawn to a gasket () for use in an individual fuel cell (). The gasket () includes at lest one generally rigid bridge () or () that extends across the fluid flow channels in adjacent separator plates () and (). The bridge () or () assures that the fluid flow channels are not blocked or restricted in the cell (). Each bridge () or () may be integral with its corresponding gasket (). The gasket () may be a multi-piece gasket with a carrier material having an elastrometric seal portion () secured to it.

Structural Seal For A Fuel Cell

US Patent:
6884537, Apr 26, 2005
Filed:
Dec 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/326174
Inventors:
Jeffrey Alan Smith - Brighton MI, US
Assignee:
Freudenberg-NOK General Partnership - Plymouth MI
International Classification:
H01M002/08
US Classification:
429 36
Abstract:
A fuel cell gasket employed to seal around an individual cell of a fuel cell assembly. The gaskets include sealing beads that are compressed against separator plates. Adhesive layers located between the gaskets and separator plates hold the gaskets against the separator plates and maintain a desired pre-load on the sealing beads. These structural seals provide good seals along the surfaces of the separator plates, thus reducing or eliminating the need for bolts to maintain the pre-load on the sealing beads of the gaskets.
