Pem Fuel Cell Design Engineer
Hsinchu, Taiwan
This joint cooperation project had the objective of optimizing the Anode and Cathode manifolds of a 5kW PEM Fuel Cell by employing CAD (SolidWorks) and CAE (Ansys FLUENT). > For the Anode, the inlet nozzle was modified into a diffuser nozzle. > The Cathode Manifold went through multiple iterations; no baffle, inlet baffle, inlet baffle plus hole-punched baffles, inlet and outlet baffles and lastly, filleted manifolds.> A 50% and 30% channel gauge pressure and pressure… Show more This joint cooperation project had the objective of optimizing the Anode and Cathode manifolds of a 5kW PEM Fuel Cell by employing CAD (SolidWorks) and CAE (Ansys FLUENT). > For the Anode, the inlet nozzle was modified into a diffuser nozzle. > The Cathode Manifold went through multiple iterations; no baffle, inlet baffle, inlet baffle plus hole-punched baffles, inlet and outlet baffles and lastly, filleted manifolds.> A 50% and 30% channel gauge pressure and pressure uniformity increase, respectively, has been obtained.> A patent was filed in the US and Taiwan.
