Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide cell accommodation equipment which keeps specified tightening pressure even to expansion or shrinkage in cooling or heating cycle of stack type fuel cell and operates safety. CONSTITUTION:A molten carbonate fuel cell 1 is placed between a supporting plate 6 set to a support 5 which is fixed to a base 4 and projecting upward and a holder 7, and pressed by pushing up a cylinder 10 of an elevator 10 with a signal of a pressure controller 12 through a load sensor 8 and a sensor piece 9, and tightened under pressure. Therefore, tightening pressure of the fuel cell is automatically controlled. As a safe measure to gas leaked from a stacked cell, inactive gas N2 is introduced from a purge gas inlet 14 and saturated in a bell jar 13 and discharged from a purge gas outlet 15. The bell jar 13 and the base 4 are sealed in airtightness with a packing 16. The base 4 and the lower part of the holder 7 is connected with a bellows 17.

In stacking a fuel cell, a large number of cells are stacked by sequentially stacking a battery frame, an anode, an electrolyte plate, a cathode, and a battery frame in this order. In the stacked cells, an insulating material is interposed between the cell ends, an end plate is disposed on the outside thereof, and a pole If is passed between the end plates and tightened with a nut. Since stacked batteries expand and contract due to thermal cycles, a method of absorbing expansion and contraction using springs, spring washers, etc. is considered.

The present invention focuses on the fact that if a laminated battery is assembled by simply tightening bolts, the bolts will loosen due to expansion and contraction during heating and cooling, and the tightening effect will be lost. The feature is that the load sensor and all the elevators that can adjust the pressure are linked to automatically adjust the pressure so that it can be removed.

Large stacked solvent batteries, which are made up of a large number of stacked cells, are designed as safety measures in the event that the reactant gas introduced to cause the battery reaction leaks between the cells or from piping or vertical lines. The entire battery must be covered and kept airtight. In order to prevent the introduced reactive gases, ie, H2 on the anode side and 02 on the cathode side, from causing contact reactions due to leakage other than cell reactions, an inert gas must always be introduced and filled into the cover. The second feature of the present invention is that it uses a stretchable and heat-resistant bellows as a method for maintaining airtightness.

According to the present invention, when tightening the fuel cell, the load can be automatically adjusted, so that no unreasonable load is applied and no distortion is caused to the fuel cell. The electrolyte plate is made of ceramics, so the heavy load is the biggest cause of cracking, leading to a gas short circuit between the anode and cathode, making it impossible to obtain normal battery output, or even causing an explosion. It is extremely dangerous. The present invention eliminates these factors and enables safe driving.
