Abstract

1341027 Fuel cell battery SIEMENS AG 22 Dec 1970 [24 Dec 1969] 60964/70 Heading H1B A battery comprises a plurality of identical components, each as shown in Fig. 1, arranged in a stack between end plates 19, each component being orientated relative to its adjacent component or components by 180 degrees, i.e. so that apertures 1, 2 of a component are in alignment with apertures 3, 4 of adjacent components. Each component comprises a plastics frame 17 having a ledge 13 to which is adhesively secured either a positive Janus type electrode 16 or a negative Janus type electrode 15. The Janus type electrode comprises a central gas-conducting layer to which is supplied either oxygen or hydrogen, and a coarse-pored layer on each side of the central layer in contact with liquid electrolyte. Fig. 1 shows a positive electrode 16 to which hydrogen is supplied through aperture 1 and lateral duct 21, the hydrogen leaving through duct 22 and aperture 2. Thus, at the top side of the stack alternate frames 17, supporting the positive electrodes 16, have apertures 1, 2 leading to ducts 21, 22 and these apertures are aligned with apertures 3, 4 of the other frames 17 supporting the negative electrodes 15. At the bottom side of the stack, the apertures 1, 2 leading to ducts 21, 22 of these other frames supply oxygen to the negative electrodes 15, the apertures being aligned with apertures 3, 4 of the first mentioned frames. Hence the two reactant gases may be supplied to positive and negative electrodes, respectively, by channels formed through the stack by the apertures 1-4. In addition, each frame 17 has apertures 5, 6 leading to ducts 25, 26 for supplying electroyte to the spaces 20 between the electrodes. Apertures 7-10 accommodate clamping screws and apertures 11, 12 may be provided to serve as additional electrolyte circulation channels. The frames 17 and end plates 19 are sealed together by adhesive. Each electrode 15, 16 has a terminal 14, the positive terminals being situated at the top side of the stack and the negative terminals at the lower side.
