Anode flow-frame thickness

ⓘ

Choose the frame thickness to match the thickness the electrode or porous transport layer should have after compression in the assembled cell. The frame sets the space available for the material and therefore its compression.

Membrane frame thickness

ⓘ

Choose the frame thickness to match the membrane’s thickness in the assembled cell, accounting for any compression or swelling expected during operation.

A membrane frame allows a smaller membrane. Without a membrane frame, a full-size membrane covering the sealing area is required. Final compatibility will be confirmed with the quotation.
