The first and second manifolds 11 and 12 may extend substantially along the central axis or fluid distribution plane A (or substantially parallel to the central axis or fluid distribution plane A). In some embodiments, the flow resistance can be reduced to provide a uniform or substantially uniform flow rate and/or to provide a uniform or substantially uniform concentration of the reactant fluid being dispensed. In some embodiments, increased consistency in flow rate or concentration may improve the efficiency of a fuel cell device having a fluid flow field plate assembly. Figure 2C is a schematic cross-sectional view showing one of the first manifolds in the fluid flow field plate assembly of Figure 2A.

As an example, a reference point may be set at a bottom point of the first lane 11 with respect to a center point of a section of the first lane π. As shown in Fig. 2C, the opening 11 occupies an angular range θ (e.g., 75, 80 or 85 degrees) which is close to 90 degrees and can be opened from a point (bottom point) of about 〇 to about 70 to 85 degrees. If a similar opening is made in the lower right quarter of the circular section, the opening 110 will extend from approximately the point of the twist (bottom point) to approximately _7 至 to -85 degrees. Similarly, the second manifold 12 has a circular cross section and an opening that can serve as an exhaust fluid inlet 14 in one of the second manifolds, at least in a portion of the wall region. In an embodiment, the opening may occupy an angular position from about _9 () degrees (3 o'clock position) to -180 such as 2 o'clock position) relative to the center of the cross section of the second channel, for example, The structure in Figure 2 is shown.

Both the first lane 11 and the second lane 12 may have a plurality of zones or channels. As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, each of the fluid flow field plate units 1 further has a first passage 111 and a second passage 112 extending through. The first passages 111 of the adjacent fluid flow field plate units 1 are connected to each other, and the second passages 112 of the adjacent fluid flow field plate units 1 are connected to each other. Therefore, the plurality of first passages 111 and second passages 112 may respectively include a first lane 11 extending through the fluid flow field plate assembly 10 and a second passage 21 .
