T1  - Proof of Concept of a Novel PEM Fuel Cell Stack Design with Hydraulic Compression
T2  - Journal of Energy and Power Engineering
N2  - In this study, a novel design concept for PEMFC (polymer electrolytemembrane fuel cell) stacks is presented with singlecells inserted in pockets surrounded by a hydraulic medium. Thehydraulic pressure introduces necessary compression forces to themembrane  electrode  assembly  of each  cell  within  a  stack.  Moreover,  homogeneous  cell cooling  is  achieved  by  this  medium.  First,prototypes presented in this work indicate that, upscaling of cells for the novelstack design is possible without significantperformancelosses. Due to its modularity and scalability, this stackdesign meets the requirements for large PEMFC units.
