Controlling leakage in an electrochemical cell

An electrochemical cell includes a flow plate and a seal that is contact with the flow plate. The seal forms an outer boundary of a sealed region to contain a reactant flow. The flow plate includes an opening that is located out of the sealed region to communicate leakage from the sealed region to a...

More Information
Summary:An electrochemical cell includes a flow plate and a seal that is contact with the flow plate. The seal forms an outer boundary of a sealed region to contain a reactant flow. The flow plate includes an opening that is located out of the sealed region to communicate leakage from the sealed region to an exhaust flow of the cell.
