本発明は燃料電池に係り、特に大容量化に好適な反応ガ
ス流路構造に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a fuel cell, and particularly to a reaction gas flow path structure suitable for increasing capacity.

ためには、非常に多くのセル構成部品を製作しなければ
ならないため、各部品の低コスト化が重要となりさらに
出力密度を向上させるためコンパクト化及びセルの高出
力化が必要とされている。The cell output of the fuel cell is a current density of 150 to 170 mA.
/ant, and the voltage is 1 V per unit battery (hereinafter referred to as a single cell) consisting of an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte holding plate.
It is only weak. Therefore, in order to achieve the required power generation scale, a battery stack is formed by stacking several hundred single cells, which are one basic element, through separators that form gas flow paths.
A large number of these battery stacks must be arranged to match the power generation output scale.In order to obtain the required output, a large number of cell component parts must be manufactured. Cost reduction has become important, and in order to further improve the output density, it is necessary to make the cell more compact and to increase the output power of the cell.
反応ガスの流路を形成するセパレータの従来の構造を図
示すると第２図のようになる。The conventional structure of a separator that forms a flow path for a reaction gas is shown in FIG. 2.

空気はセパレータ２４の上面に形成された空気流路溝２
６を通る。In FIG. 2, 21 is an electrolyte holding plate, 22 is an anode, 23 is a cathode, and the fuel is connected to the separator 2.
The air passes through the fuel gas passage groove 25 formed on the lower surface of the separator 24, and the air passes through the air passage groove 2 formed on the upper surface of the separator 24.
Pass through 6.
ここで、セパレータ２４の溝は切削やエツチング等で作
られるためコストが高く、はた薄形化が困難であるため
、電池スタックの高さが高くなるという問題があった。Here, since the grooves of the separator 24 are made by cutting, etching, etc., the cost is high, and it is difficult to reduce the thickness of the separator 24, so there is a problem that the height of the battery stack increases.
セパレータの加工コストの問題を解決しようとする構造
は、特開昭５５−１２６９９号公報に示されている様な
、波形シート隔離板と称する、薄板を曲げたもので反応
ガス流路を形成するものがある。A structure that attempts to solve the problem of processing costs for separators is the one shown in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 12699/1983, which uses bent thin plates called corrugated sheet separators to form reaction gas flow paths. There is something.
しかし、この波形シート隔離板は燃料流路用、空気流路
用が別々になっており、さらにその２枚の波形シートの
間に裏当てプレートを挾んでいるため、薄形化には適さ
なかった。However, this corrugated sheet separator has separate sections for the fuel flow path and air flow path, and a backing plate is sandwiched between the two corrugated sheets, making it unsuitable for thinning. Ta.
また、反応ガスの量は１反応の進行とともに変化する。Further, the amount of reaction gas changes as one reaction progresses.

燃料ガス量は反応の進行と伴に多くなってゆく、逆に空
気側の反応は

量は反応と伴に少なくなってゆく。In other words, taking the case of a molten carbonate electrolyte system as an example, the reaction on the fuel gas side is H, + GO, -4a, o + col + 2 = - Therefore,
The amount of fuel gas increases as the reaction progresses; conversely, the reaction on the air side becomes 0, +2GO, +4e--42CO, "-, and the amount of air decreases as the reaction progresses.
このことから、ガス流路断面積が一様ならば。From this, if the cross-sectional area of the gas flow path is uniform.
燃料ガス側では入口側より出口側の方がガス流速は大き
くなり、逆に空気側では入口側より出口側の流速が小さ
くなり、反応が均一に行なわれず、性能が低くなるとい
う問題もあった。On the fuel gas side, the gas flow rate is higher on the outlet side than on the inlet side, and conversely, on the air side, the flow rate is lower on the outlet side than on the inlet side, which causes problems such as reactions not being carried out uniformly and performance being lower. .
本発明の目的は、電池を薄形化し、また高効率化するガ
ス流路構造をもち、大容量化に適した燃料電池を提供す
ることにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel cell that has a gas flow path structure that makes the cell thinner and more efficient, and is suitable for increasing capacity.

するものである。The present invention allows fuel gas and air to flow on the upper and lower surfaces of the corrugated thin plate,
By forming both the fuel flow path and the air flow path with a single corrugated thin plate, the battery can be made thinner, and the cross-sectional area of the reactant gas flow path is almost uniform from the inlet side to the outlet side. High efficiency can be achieved by changing it so that it becomes .
次に本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
第１図は本発明の一実施例を示す分解斜視図である。FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention.

Showing the flow of the reaction gas, the fuel gas first enters from the fuel supply channel 15, branches into the fuel supply branch pipe 15a, passes through the fuel channel 13 provided on the lower surface of the corrugated thin plate, The 6th air discharged from the fuel discharge flow path 18 that enters the fuel discharge branch pipe and is combined into the air supply flow path 16
It enters through the main pipe and branches off with an air supply branch pipe.

Due to the structure of this corrugated thin plate 11, the fuel flow channels and the air flow channels are arranged alternately in a plane, so the separator only needs to be as thick as one side of one reaction gas, so the fuel and air flow channels are adjacent to each other in the height direction. Compared to the conventional separator 24 shown in FIG. 2, the thickness is 172 mm or less.

流れる平行流方式であるが、燃料と空気が逆方向に流れ

起動時の昇温か容易になる。The advantages of thinning are as follows. Since the height of the stack is limited due to transportation issues, the number of cells per stack can be increased, the output of the stack can be increased, the output density can be increased, and the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, the mass of the parts becomes smaller and the heat capacity becomes smaller, so
It becomes easier to heat up the temperature at startup.

This is an example of a molten carbonate electrolyte system, where the width of the fuel passage 13 increases from the inlet side to the outlet side, and conversely, the air passage 14 increases the flow rate from the inlet side to the outlet side. Road width is decreasing. This structure allows
In response to changes in gas flow rate due to reactions, the gas flow rate within the flow path is made uniform, and the reaction within the battery is made uniform, improving battery performance. In this example, the gas utilization rate is 80% on the fuel side and 50% on the air side. Approximately 1

In other words, in the case of the phosphoric acid electrolyte method, contrary to the molten salt type, the flow rate of fuel decreases and the flow rate of air increases as the reaction progresses, so the width of the flow path is narrowed along the flow direction, and the width is narrowed on the fuel side. On the air side, just widen the width.

上にもなる。As described above, according to the present invention, the separator forming the gas flow path can be made thinner, thereby making it easier to downsize the device and increase the temperature at startup to reduce the heat capacity. Furthermore, since the flow velocity within the cell can be made uniform, efficiency can be improved.
