Abstract
A fuel cell system with planar manifold having at least one fuel cell assembly with a first side and a second side; a plurality of anodes on the first side; a plurality of cathodes on the second side; ion-conducting electrolyte between the first and second sides; a fluid manifold assembly fluidly connected to the first side. In the planar manifold a first barrier layer provides at least one inlet port in fluid communication with a hydrogen source, and at least one outlet port to remove any unreacted hydrogen and byproducts from the first side; a plurality of conduit layers, on at least one of which is disposed one or more channels fluidly connected to the at least one inlet port and one of which is fluidly connected to the at least one outlet port; and, a second barrier layer disposed above the plurality of conduit layers containing a plurality of perforations affixed to the first side to supply hydrogen gas.
