Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrochemical hydrogen pump includes at least one hydrogen pump unit including an electrolyte membrane, an anode, a cathode, an anode separator, and a cathode separator; an anode end plate disposed on the anode separator positioned in a first end in a stacking direction; a cathode end plate disposed on the cathode separator positioned in a second end in the stacking direction; a fixing member that prevents members from the anode end plate to the anode separator positioned in the first end from moving in the stacking direction; a gas flow channel through which hydrogen generated in the cathode is supplied to a space disposed between the anode end plate and the anode separator positioned in the first end; and a pressure transmitting member that is disposed in the space and transmits a pressure from the anode separator positioned in the first end to the anode end plate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An electrochemical hydrogen pump comprising: at least one hydrogen pump unit that includes an electrolyte membrane, an anode disposed on a first main surface of the electrolyte membrane, a cathode disposed on a second main surface of the electrolyte membrane, an anode separator stacked on the anode, and a cathode separator stacked on the cathode; an anode end plate that is disposed on the anode separator positioned in a first end in a stacking direction; a cathode end plate that is disposed on the cathode separator positioned in a second end in the stacking direction, the first end being one end in the stacking direction, the second end being another end in the stacking direction; a fixing member that prevents members from the anode end plate to the anode separator positioned in the first end from moving in the stacking direction; a gas flow channel through which hydrogen generated in the cathode is supplied to a space disposed between the anode end plate and the anode separator positioned in the first end; and a pressure transmitting member that is disposed in the space and transmits a pressure from the anode separator positioned in the first end to the anode end plate. 2 . The electrochemical hydrogen pump according to claim 1 , further comprising: an anode plate member disposed between the anode end plate and the anode separator positioned in the first end, wherein the pressure transmitting member is disposed between the anode end plate and the anode plate member and includes a columnar member separated from or integrated with the anode end plate. 3 . The electrochemical hydrogen pump according to claim 2 , wherein a bolt included in the fixing member passes through the anode plate member and the anode separator positioned in the first end. 4 . The electrochemical hydrogen pump according to claim 2 , wherein the anode plate member includes an anode insulating plate, and the columnar member is disposed between the anode end plate and the anode insulating plate. 5 . The electrochemical hydrogen pump according to claim 2 , wherein the anode plate member includes an anode power supply plate, and the columnar member is disposed between the anode end plate and the anode power supply plate. 6 . The electrochemical hydrogen pump according to claim 5 , wherein the columnar member is an insulating member. 7 . The electrochemical hydrogen pump according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure transmitting member is a porous member. 8 . The electrochemical hydrogen pump according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure transmitting member is an elastic member. 9 . The electrochemical hydrogen pump according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure transmitting member has the same elastic modulus as the cathode gas diffusion layer included in the cathode.
