Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A compression apparatus includes an electrolyte membrane, an anode disposed on a principal surface of the electrolyte membrane, a cathode disposed on another principal surface of the electrolyte membrane, and a voltage applicator that applies a voltage between the anode and the cathode. Upon the voltage applicator applying a voltage between the anode and the cathode, the compression apparatus causes protons extracted from an anode fluid fed to the anode to move to the cathode through the electrolyte membrane and produces compressed hydrogen. The compression apparatus includes a face seal disposed on an outer periphery of the anode and an elastic material interposed between the anode and the face seal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A compression apparatus comprising: an electrolyte membrane; an anode disposed on a principal surface of the electrolyte membrane; a cathode disposed on another principal surface of the electrolyte membrane; and a voltage applicator that applies a voltage between the anode and the cathode, wherein, upon the voltage applicator applying a voltage between the anode and the cathode, the compression apparatus causes protons extracted from an anode fluid fed to the anode to move to the cathode through the electrolyte membrane and produces compressed hydrogen, the compression apparatus comprising a face seal disposed on an outer periphery of the anode, and an elastic material interposed between the anode and the face seal. 2 . The compression apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a sheet material disposed on the anode, wherein the sheet material is bonded to the anode, the elastic material, and the face seal with an adhesive disposed on the anode, the elastic material, and the face seal. 3 . The compression apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive is disposed on the anode and the elastic material so as to extend between the anode and the elastic material. 4 . The compression apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive is disposed on the anode, the elastic material, and the face seal so as to extend over the elastic material. 5 . The compression apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a sheet material disposed on the anode, wherein the sheet material is an anode separator including an anode channel formed therein, the anode channel through which the anode fluid flows. 6 . The compression apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a sheet material disposed on the anode, and an anode separator formed on the sheet material, the anode separator including an anode channel formed therein, the anode channel through which the anode fluid flows. 7 . The compression apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic material is a fluorine rubber. 8 . The compression apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the sheet material is a metal sheet. 9 . The compression apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the face seal includes a metal sheet. 10 . The compression apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the metal sheet is SUS316 or SUS316L. 11 . The compression apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the anode includes a porous metal sheet or a porous carbon sheet. 12 . The compression apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive is a gap-fill adhesive. 13 . The compression apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive is an anaerobic adhesive. 14 . The compression apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive does not include a metal ion component.
