Fuel cell manifold cable end clamp

A pair of reactant gas manifolds ( 11 and 12 ) on opposite sides of a fuel cell stack ( 7 ) are sealed to the fuel cells ( 14 ) and pressure plates ( 8 ) by means of pressure applied by load cables ( 17 ). The centers of the manifolds are prevented from having leakage between them and the end plates...

Zusammenfassung:A pair of reactant gas manifolds ( 11 and 12 ) on opposite sides of a fuel cell stack ( 7 ) are sealed to the fuel cells ( 14 ) and pressure plates ( 8 ) by means of pressure applied by load cables ( 17 ). The centers of the manifolds are prevented from having leakage between them and the end plates by means of a tensioning system comprising a plurality of pins ( 22 ) extending outwardly from the ends of the manifolds, and tensioning cables ( 23 ) extending around the pins in a closed loop and tensioned by a turnbuckle ( 24 ).
