Title:
CO-FLOW PLANAR SOFC FUEL CELL STACK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002059994
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A co-flow planar solid oxide fuel cell stack (10) with an integral, internal manifold and a casing/holder (50) to separately seal the cell. This construction improves sealing and gas flow, and provides for easy manifolding of cell stacks. In addition, the stack construction has the potential for an improved durability and operation with an additional increase in cell efficiency. The co-flow arrangement can be effectively utilized in other electrochemical systems requiring gas-proof separation of gases.
