A proper stacking force and assembly are important to the performance of fuel cell. Improper assembly pressure may lead to leakage of fuels and high interfacial contact resistance, excessive assembly pressure may result in damage to the gas diffusion layer and other components. The pressure distribution of gas diffusion layer is important to make interfacial contact resistance less for stack performance. To analyze the influence of design parameter factors for pressure distribution, and to optimize stack design, DOE (Design of Experiment) was used for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack pressure test. As commonly known, the higher clamping force improves the fuel cell stack performance. However, non-uniformity of stress distribution is also increased. It shows that optimization between clamping force and stress distribution is needed for well designed structure of fuel cell stack. In this study, stack design optimization method is suggested by using FEM (Finite Element Methode) and DOE for light-weighted fuel cell stack.

컨플래트 (Con-Flat) 및 개량형 (IPD) 플랜지에서 개스킷을 넣고 체결할 때 나사의 체결력 또는 선하중에 따라 플랜지 및 개스킷에 발생하는 변형량, 응력 분포, 접촉 면압 따위의 계산을 통해 플랜지 날의 형상이나 체결조건이 기밀에 미치는 영향을 분석 또는 예측하는 것이 가능한지를 판단해 보았다.
