Sealing performance and mechanical behavior of PEMFCs sealing system based on thermodynamic coupling
Abstract
Abstract The reliability of sealing system is closely related to the work performance of PEMFCs. The model of steel-strip PEMFCs is established in this paper, the stress-strain distribution of sealing system in single-cell and multi-cells structures under three different working temperature were investigated. Effects of compression ratio, fluid pressure, dislocation and dimension of gasket on the sealing performance and mechanical behavior of PEMFCs were studied. The results show that the sealing performances of single-cell and multi-cells structures are similar under different working temperatures. Temperature has a great influence on the von-Mises stress of sealing system and the deformation of MEA frame. The research results of single-cell can be extended to the multi-cells, but the influence of temperature can't be ignored. With the increasing of compression ratio, fluid pressure and dimension, the sealing performance also be improved. Excessive dislocation may aggravate the deformation of MEA frame. The high stress area appears inside cross section which is prone to cause seal failure and full cells collapse.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
