Fuel Cell Current Distribution Measuring Equipment and Fuel Cell Current Distribution Measuring Method

摘要

A fuel cell current distribution measuring apparatus measures electromotive force distribution on an electrode surface of a fuel cell which includes: an electrolyte; and a pair of a fuel electrode and an air electrode between which the electrolyte is provided. The fuel cell current distribution measuring apparatus includes: a plurality of probe pins which are touched by a non-compartment area on an external surface of a fuel-electrode-side separator being one of separators of the pair of the fuel electrode and the air electrode; and a current measuring section for measuring a current in each of the probe pins. Therefore, it is possible to provide a fuel cell current distribution measuring apparatus and a fuel cell current distribution measuring method, each of which allows for exact reproduction of a partial electromotive force in an electromotive force obtained from the whole of electrodes of the fuel cell.
