3. Stack and System Component Information

H-1000 Fuel Cell Stack User Manual V4.4
1. Stack
Is made up of plate-like cells with air channels to allow
the flow of air across the membrane. The membrane
facilitates the flow of Hydrogen creating the release
of electrons. Electrically conductive separator plates
between each pair of cells enable the flow of electrons.
The stack aspect is that they are all placed on top of each
other and held together by epoxy endplates.
2. H2 Supply Valve and purge
It controls the H2 input. When the controller turns on, also
the H2 supply valve does. When system turns off, it is in
the off position for preventing hydrogen leakage.
3. Short Circuit Unit
The short circuit unit can be turned on or off depending
on what application the stack is to be used in. It ensures
enhanced performance of the fuel cells in applications
where the stack is turned off for prolonged periods.
4. On/Off Switch
It is the switch of the controller. Hold it for 2 seconds for
either on or off.
5. Blower
Supply air to the fuel cells and meanwhile decrease the
temperature in the stack.
