A fuel cell, of proton-exchange-membrane type, includes, stacked in the following order: a first terminal, an end anode plate, a plurality of membrane plates having a bipolar plate between every two membrane plates, an end cathode plate and a second terminal Each bipolar plate includes, preassembled in the following order: a medial cathode plate and a medial anode plate, each medial anode, end anode, medial cathode and end cathode plate comprising at least one duct for distributing a reactant. The anode end plate is produced by a bipolar plate of the same orientation, and an anode capable of obturating all of the ducts of the medial cathode plate of this bipolar plate. The cathode end plate is produced by a bipolar plate of the same orientation, and a cathode capable of obturating all of the ducts of the medial anode plate of this bipolar plate.

Proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell

A thermal system includes a Rankine cycle heat recovery device including a Rankine circuit having a first heat exchanger, an expander, a condenser, and a first pump. A cooling device having a cooling circuit that includes a second heat exchanger, a second pump, and a third heat exchanger with a device to be cooled. The thermal system comprises a device for regulating the pressure in the Rankine circuit and includes an enclosure delimiting a space and housing a movable part separating the space into first and second chambers. The first chamber communicates with the Rankine circuit and the second chamber communicates with the cooling circuit.
