A fuel cell vehicle of the disclosure includes a fuel cell, a system frame including a center member supporting at least a portion of the fuel cell and a peripheral member disposed on at least one of the two side end portions of the center member, which are opposite each other in a vehicle width direction, a vehicle body connection part coupling the peripheral member to a vehicle body, and a plurality of frame connection parts, which couple the peripheral member to the center member, are spaced apart from each other in a first direction parallel to a travel direction, and receive different respective loads.

Fuel cell vehicle

A fuel cell vehicle is provided and includes a system frame on which a fuel cell is mounted and first and second side members extending in a first direction and facing each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction. A first fastening part fastens the system frame to each of the first and second side members. The system frame includes a first aperture formed therein in a horizontal direction. The first fastening part includes a first support bracket, including a second aperture, a first insertion hole, and a first tab portion extending from the first insertion hole in the horizontal direction, and a first bolt, including a first shank portion inserted into the first aperture, the second aperture, and the first insertion hole in the horizontal direction and a first threaded portion engaged with the first tab portion.

A fuel cell vehicle includes a fuel cell frame including an outer frame and an inner frame disposed inside the outer frame, an upper structure disposed on the fuel cell frame, and a lower structure disposed under the fuel cell frame. The inner frame is formed in the shape of a partition dividing an inner space surrounded by the outer frame into a plurality of hollows.

A fuel cell vehicle includes a fuel cell, an air compressor configured to draw in and discharge air, a cooler configured to cool air discharged from the air compressor, a humidifier configured to humidify air cooled by the cooler and to supply the humidified air to the fuel cell, and a system frame on which the fuel cell is disposed. The system frame accommodates at least a portion of each of the cooler and the humidifier therein.

Fuel cell vehicle having small space occupied by humidifier and cooler

An apparatus for preventing moisture condensation includes a fuel cell stack and an enclosure in which the fuel cell stack is disposed. A heater and a temperature sensor are provided in the enclosure. A controller is configured to control the heater to be turned on when an insulation resistance between the fuel cell stack and the enclosure is less than a preset resistance value. The controller controls the heater not to be turned on when a surface temperature of the enclosure measured by the temperature sensor exceeds a preset temperature.

Apparatus and method for preventing moisture condensation

A structure for mounting a fuel cell stack in an enclosure or a frame includes a first mounting mechanism for fastening and mounting a first mounting part located at a first side of the fuel cell stack in a longitudinal direction of the stack, which is a cell stacking direction, to the enclosure or the frame in a completely fixing fashion, and a second mounting mechanism for mounting a second mounting part located at a second side of the fuel cell stack in the longitudinal direction of the stack to the enclosure or the frame in a state of being movable in the longitudinal direction of the stack.

Structure for mounting fuel cell stack

A fuel cell stack enclosure is provided that includes side covers configured to be joined with each of end of a stack module respectively. A lower cover is also configured to be provided under the stack module and formed to partially cover a lower portion and a first side portion of an outer surface of the side cove. An upper cover may be provided over the stack module, and be formed to partially cover an upper portion and a second side portion of the outer surface of the side cover to enclose the stack module along with the lower cover while joining with the side covers.

Fuel cell stack enclosure

An end plate for a fuel cell is provided in which a main block is configured to form a body and support a fuel cell at a predetermined pressure and a subplate is configured to include a material having reducibility higher than that of the main block and to adhere to one side of the main block. Additionally, an insulating part encloses the main block and the subplate.

End plate for fuel cell

A fuel cell stack enclosure includes: a lower housing disposed under a fuel cell stack and having a bottom plate portion provided with a water outlet therein; a sealing cap closing the water outlet from an outside of the lower housing; and an elastic member elastically pulling the sealing cap toward the bottom plate portion of the lower housing.

A fuel cell stack preventing deterioration of an end cell, which has a structure for preventing cooling of a neighbor cell adjacent to a closed end plate, is provided. To this end, an open end plate and a closed end plate, which are provided on a first side and a second side, respectively, of the fuel cell stack, fasten a plurality of working cells together. More specifically, a hollow flow space is formed in an inner wall of the closed end plate to form an air pocket therein.

Fuel cell stack for preventing deterioration of end cell

A ventilation apparatus includes: a controller that determines whether insulation resistance between a fuel cell stack and an enclosure including the fuel cell stack is equal to or smaller than a preset value, and varies a degree of opening of a valve provided between an inlet provided on one side of the enclosure and an air blower injecting air to an interior of the enclosure through the inlet based on the determination.

Ventilation apparatus and control method thereof

An apparatus for preventing deformation of a fuel cell stack is provided. The apparatus includes a support unit, respective ends of which are connected to first endplates of a pair of stacked fuel cell stacks. The apparatus further includes a support protrusion that protrudes from a surface of the support unit and extends through a gap between the pair of fuel cell stacks.

Apparatus for preventing deformation of fuel cell stack

A fuel cell stack is provided that includes a fuel cell stack module and an enclosure. The fuel cell stack module includes end plates and coupling bars coupled to the end plates. The enclosure includes an upper enclosure covering a front surface, an upper surface, and a back surface of the fuel cell stack module, a lower enclosure covering the front surface, a lower surface, and the back surface of the fuel stack module, a left enclosure fixed to one of the end plates, and a right enclosure fixed to the other of the end plates. The upper enclosure and the lower enclosure are coupled to protruding portions of the left enclosure and the right enclosure and bent toward the surfaces of the fuel cell stack module so as to be in surface contact with the surfaces of the fuel cell stack module.

Fuel cell stack

Disclosed is an end plate for a fuel cell including an anti-bending plate, in which an anti-bending plate is assembled with an insert having a sandwich structure and the insert is injection molded, thereby easily preventing the insert from being bent due to an injection molding pressure. In the disclosed end plate, a sandwich insert including two or more stacked plates each having a specific shape is manufactured, and an anti-bending plate is coupled to the sandwich insert and then is injection molded, thereby easily preventing the sandwich insert from being bent due to a resin pressure in the injection molding process, contrary to a conventional integral metal insert.
