Abstract

Los elementos apilados o apilamientos de las pilas de combustible o pilas eléctricas primarias (1) que comprenden una membrana/separador apilada, las pilas con montaje electrolito en las que los separadores comprenden una serie de delgadas laminares apiladas (30-1 y 30-7) que tienen un área activa (25) de humidifacion (35, 40) de gas reactivo de microcanales, configurada individualmente en serpentín y campos de enfriamiento en las misma. Las plaquetas individuales se apilan como elementos coordinados precisamente alineados en contacto con las plaquetas y unidos para formar un separador monolítico. Los procesamientos posteriores de union, incluyen la no activacion, tal como nitrificacion. El material de plaquetas preferido es T1 a 4-25 milésimos de pulgada, en el cual se forman los elementos, los canales en serpentín (52), las lengüetas, las áreas (54), las vías (61, 63, 65), los multiples y mangueras, mediante corrosion química o de láser, corte, presion o formacion en relieve combinando la profundidad, siendo el preferido la corrosion química. El proceso de fabricacion de las plaquetas es continuo y rápido. Al emplear la fotolitografía y un diseño de plaquetas a base de CAD, rápidos cambios en el diseño del elemento pueden acomodar un amplio intervalo de técnicas de manejo térmico y humidificacion. Los elementos apilados de la pila de combustible FEM H2-O2/Aire de 100 células de este diseño de plaqueta con IFMT mostrarán una produccion en el orden de 0.75 kW/kg, que en parte es mayor de 3-6 veces que los elementos PEM de la placa de grafito actuales.
