Automotive fuel cell stacks are currently being manufactured in a clean room environment with a controlled temperature and humidity. Critical fuel cell components can take a significant amount of time to equilibrate with the clean room environment and during this time their dimensions change as they absorb water. Accordingly, they cannot be used in the manufacturing process until they have equilibrated and achieved dimensional stability. The goal of this research project is to develop a test method to determine the specific time needed for a given component, which will enable more efficient material handling in the process.

汽车燃料电池堆目前在具有受控温度和湿度的洁净室环境中制造。 关键的燃料电池部件可能需要大量的时间来与洁净室环境平衡，并且在此期间，它们的尺寸随着它们吸水而变化。 因此，在它们达到平衡并达到尺寸稳定性之前，它们不能用于制造过程。 该研究项目的目标是开发一种测试方法，以确定给定组件所需的特定时间，这将使该过程中的材料处理更有效。
