- a fuel cell system is a kind of power generation system that directly converts chemical energy applied on a fuel film into electrical energy in a fuel cell stack without converting it into heat by combustion.
- a fuel cell system is largely composed of a fuel cell stack that generates electrical energy, a fuel supply system that supplies fuel (hydrogen) to the fuel cell stack, an air supply system that supplies oxygen in the air, which is an oxidizing agent required for electrochemical reactions, to the fuel cell stack, and It consists of a heat and water management system that removes the reaction heat of the fuel cell stack to the outside of the system and controls the operating temperature of the fuel cell stack.
- a fuel cell stack is an electrical energy generating device in which unit cells are repeatedly stacked, and in this case, the unit cell is a minimum fuel cell component for generating electrical energy by reacting hydrogen and oxygen.
- This unit cell structure is a stacked structure in the order of a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA), a gas diffusion layer (GDL), and a gasket.
- MEA membrane-electrode assembly
