연료전지는 고효율의 청정 에너지원으로서 점차 그 사용 영역이 확대되어 가고 있으며, 여러 종류의 연료전지 중에서 특히 고분자 전해질(막) 연료전지(PEMFC:Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell)는 다른 형태의 연료전지에 비해 비교적 낮은 온도에서 작동하고 시동시간이 짧으며 부하 변화에 대한 빠른 응답 특성을 가지고 있다.As a high-efficiency, clean energy source, the range of its use is gradually expanding, and among various types of fuel cells, in particular, the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is superior to other types of fuel cells. It operates at a relatively low temperature, has a short start-up time, and has fast response characteristics to load changes.
또한 고분자 전해질 연료전지는 효율이 높고 전류밀도 및 출력밀도가 크다. 또한 반응가스(수소 및 공기 중 산소)의 압력 변화에 덜 민감하며 다양한 범위의 출력을 낼 수 있다. 이런 이유로 무공해 비행체의 동력원, 자가 발전용, 이동용 및 군사용 전원 등 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있다.In addition, the polymer electrolyte fuel cell has high efficiency and high current density and power density. In addition, it is less sensitive to changes in the pressure of the reactive gases (hydrogen and oxygen in air) and can produce a wide range of outputs. For this reason, it can be applied to various fields such as power source of pollution-free aircraft, self-generation, mobile and military power.
고분자 전해질막 연료전지는 수소와 산소를 전기화학적으로 반응하여 물을 생성하면서 전기를 발생시키는 장치로서, 공급된 수소가 애노드의 촉매에서 수소이온과 전자로 분리되고, 분리된 수소이온은 전해질막을 통해 캐소드로 넘어가게 된다. 이때, 캐소드에 공급된 공기 중 산소는 외부 도선을 통해 캐소드로 들어온 전자와 결합하여 물을 생성하면서 전기 에너지를 발생시킨다.A polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is a device that generates electricity by electrochemically reacting hydrogen and oxygen to generate water. The supplied hydrogen is separated into hydrogen ions and electrons in the catalyst of the anode, and the separated hydrogen ions pass through the electrolyte membrane. goes to the cathode. At this time, oxygen in the air supplied to the cathode is combined with electrons entering the cathode through an external conductor to generate water while generating electrical energy.
한편, 드론(Drone)과 같은 기동체에서 필요한 전위를 얻기 위해서는 필요한 전위만큼 단위 셀을 적층하여야 하며, 이렇게 단위 셀을 적층한 것을 스택(또는 연료전지 스택)이라 한다. 1 개의 단위 셀에서 발생하는 전위는 약1.2V로서, 다수의 셀을 직렬로 적층하여 부하에 필요한 전력을 공급하고 있다. 각 단위 셀은 막전극 접합체(MEA:Membrane Electrode Assembly)를 포함하며, 막전극 접합체에서 수소이온이 전달되는 고분자 전해질막을 사이에 두고 양측으로 수소가 공급되는 애노드 전극과 공기(산소)가 공급되는 캐소드 전극이 구비된다. 또한 촉매층을 포함하는 애노드 전극 및 캐소드 전극의 바깥쪽에는 가스 확산층이 배치되며, 이러한 막전극 접합체와 반응가스 및 냉각수 유로가 형성된 분리판을 순차적으로 적층한 것이 연료전지 스택이다.On the other hand, in order to obtain a necessary potential in a mobile body such as a drone, unit cells must be stacked as much as the required potential, and the stacked unit cells in this way is called a stack (or fuel cell stack). The potential generated by one unit cell is about 1.2V, and power required for the load is supplied by stacking a number of cells in series. Each unit cell includes a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), and an anode electrode to which hydrogen is supplied to both sides and a cathode to which air (oxygen) is supplied with a polymer electrolyte membrane through which hydrogen ions are transmitted in the membrane electrode assembly. An electrode is provided.

In the operation of such a fuel cell, a stable supply of hydrogen gas is an important operation factor. In particular, a plurality of fuel cells may be disposed in a fuel cell power pack or a mobile body such as a drone, and a uniform supply of hydrogen gas at a constant pressure is required to each fuel cell.
통상 가스탱크 내부에 존재하는 수소가스는 고압상태에 있다. 실제 연료전지로 공급하기 위해서는 단계적 감압이 필요하고, 이를 위해 가스탱크의 배출구에 감압 기능이 있는 밸브를 장착하여 가스의 압력을 단계적으로 감압한다.In general, the hydrogen gas present in the gas tank is in a high pressure state. Step-by-step pressure reduction is required to actually supply the fuel cell, and for this purpose, a pressure-reducing valve is installed at the outlet of the gas tank to step-by-step pressure reduction.
여기서 가스탱크에서 연료전지로 수소가스를 공급하기 위해서는 가스탱크에 장착된 밸브를 연료전지와 공급관으로 연결되어 있는 매니폴드에 연결해야 한다. Here, in order to supply hydrogen gas from the gas tank to the fuel cell, a valve mounted on the gas tank should be connected to the manifold connected to the fuel cell and the supply pipe.
