集約することもできる。In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a battery main body, a plurality of manifolds that supply fuel and air to the battery main body, an inlet/outlet pipe provided in each of the manifolds for supplying and exhausting fuel and air, and a container housing them. In the fuel cell constructed by the following, the problem was solved by consolidating the inside of the inlet/outlet pipes into a partitioned common main pipe, and by creating a structure in which the common main pipe is drawn out to the outside of the container. In addition, one pair each of fuel and air inlet/outlet piping is combined by the common main pipe.
You can consolidate them into a book, or you can consolidate them all into one common main pipe.
燃料極の出口、入口の配管を一本にすれば従来の半分の
引き出し配管に、さらに空気極の出口。By combining the fuel electrode outlet and inlet piping into one, it becomes half the conventional extraction piping, plus the air electrode outlet.
入口の配管を1本にすれば1/4の引き出し配管数にす

しである。The manifold that supplies air to the battery body (not shown) is composed of a pair of air inlet manifold 1 provided on one side of the battery body (not shown) and air outlet manifold 2 provided on the other side, each manifold 1°2. An air inlet pipe 4 and an air outlet pipe 5 are provided at the lower part of each of the pipes. Piping 4
, 5 communicate with a common main pipe 3 which has a partial interior, but this common main pipe is divided into two parts by a partition plate 3C provided inside the common main pipe 3 as shown in FIG. It is divided into air outlet passages 3b, each of which is connected to the air inlet pipe 4 and the air outlet pipe 5. and,
The common main pipe 3 is drawn out from a container 8 that houses the battery main body, each manifold 1, 2, and air outlet pipes 4, 5.
このため、空気は共通母管3の下部の空気人口6より流
