Fuel cell assembly with improved contact pressure distribution

The present technology relates to an apparatus and method for providing a contact pressure profile between fuel cell components in a fuel cell stack. In some embodiments, the techniques relate to fuel cell flow field plate designs and compression systems for fuel cell stacks that may be used alone or in combination to provide a more uniform contact pressure distribution over active regions of fuel cells in a fuel cell stack. 本技术涉及用于在燃料电池堆中的燃料电池部件之间提供接触压力分布的设备和方法。在一些实施例中，该技术涉及燃料电池流场板设计和燃料电池堆的压缩系统，该压缩系统可以单独或组合使用，以在燃料电池堆中的燃料电池的有源区域上提供更均匀的接触压力分布。
