Abstract
An experimental study is carried out to investigate the performance and the efficiency humidifying Membrane Electrolyte Assembly and having the double-tied catalyst layers in a fuel cell system which is taken into account the physical and thermal concept. Subsequently, an electric output produced by PEMFC(Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell) is measured to assess the performance of a stack, and the efficiency is also evaluated according to the different situation in which unit cell is placed with and without the humidification of the MEA. It is found that the measured values of stack voltage and current are influenced by the stack temperature, humidification, and the double-tied catalyst layers which give more enhanced values to be applied to electric units.
