To separate fuel gas from air, a sealing material is filled between the cell and the connector. As the number of cells increases within the stack, the length of the sealing area increases, and the likelihood of gas leakage within the stack increases, which severely affects the long-term stability of the stack. In addition, the increased number of cells also affects the uniformity of stress and airflow distribution within the stack, which can negatively impact the performance of the stack.

Along with the increase of the number of the galvanic piles, the concentration of the gas reaching the downstream galvanic piles is reduced, the condition of insufficient gas supply is easy to occur, and the temperature of the whole system is not easy to control. The existing design that the galvanic pile is arranged in the heat boxes with a plurality of centrosymmetry is adopted, the distribution of the galvanic pile gas is completed at the periphery of the heat box, each galvanic pile is connected through a pipeline, the space utilization rate is low, the pipeline is difficult to insulate heat, and the independent design of the galvanic pile heat box enables the processing cost to be high.
