PURPOSE: A method for monitoring a fuel cell stack state is provided to use a diagnostic signal for responding to a frequency, thereby increasing diagnostic analyzing performance. CONSTITUTION: A diagnostic device(30) includes a signal generator(31) which generates a diagnostic signal for responding to a frequency. The signal generator applies the diagnostic signal to a load connection terminal of a fuel cell stack(10) through a signal line. The signal generator generates a diagnostic signal for responding to a multiple frequency. The diagnostic device measures the voltage and the current of the stack. The diagnostic device connects a load(20) in case of diagnosis.

The polypropylene resin is one selected from polypropylene, polyethylene-propylene copolymer, and polypropylene-butadiene copolymer.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A separator for a fuel cell stack is provided to prevent the condensation of water inside air and hydrogen manifolds and the corrosion of the manifold by forming an inclined angle so that water condensed in the floor of an air and hydrogen inlet manifold flows in a reaction path of the separator. CONSTITUTION: A separator(20) for a fuel cell stack includes manifolds that provide a path of air, cooling water, and hydrogen at both ends thereof. A slope zone for removing condensed water is formed in an air inlet manifold(22) flowing in air and hydrogen and a hydrogen inlet manifold(32). Since an inclined angle is formed in only the air inlet manifold and hydrogen inlet manifold toward reaction flow channels(50) so that the condensed water flows into a reaction flow path.
