Humidifier for fuel cell and method for manufacturing same
Disclosed are: a humidifier for a fuel cell, which can reliably prevent gas leaks due to repeated operations and shutdowns of a fuel cell and can be manufactured with relatively low manufacturing costs and high productivity as well; and a method for manufacturing same. A humidifier for a fuel cell of the present invention comprises a humidification module and caps coupled to both ends of the humidification module, respectively. The humidification module comprises: a mid-case having a step on the inner peripheral surface thereof; a plurality of hollow fiber membranes in the mid-case; a fixation layer on which ends of the hollow fiber membranes are potted; a bracket which is supported by the step of the mid-case and is in contact with the fixation layer; and a packing member in contact with the bracket and having a groove into which an end of the mid-case is inserted.
CRASH-WORTHY AND BALLISTICALLY TOLERANT FUEL CELL FABRICATING METHOD
Embodiments are directed to a method for fabricating a fuel cell. According to one embodiment, the fuel cell fabricating method includes the steps of laying up multiple strips of fabric over a mold to form an enclosure for the storage of fuel, and bonding the strips to one another using a bonding agent. When the bonding agent has cured, the mold may be removed from the enclosure.
