Conventional Stack Assembly

Problems of conventional stack design

• Many different components
• Special solutions with reinforced MEA-edges necessary
• Many difficulties to apply an automated manufacturing process,
  e.g. due to a lack of stiffness and mechanical strength of the components
• Complicated manufacturing technology for bipolar plates with integrated manifolds
• Reduced production reliability
• High Component Costs!
• High Assembly Costs!
• THE RESULT: High Stack Costs!
