Title:
FUEL CELL SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006018068
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fuel cell system with several individual fuel cell units arranged in electrical series, each comprising a cathode/electrolyte/anode unit between an electrically-conducting support element and an electrically-conducting cover element, with the side facing the support element treated with a first gas and the side facing the cover element treated with a second gas. The individual cells are essentially arranged adjacently such than the cathode/electrolyte/anode units thereof are essentially on a common plane and, for two adjacent cells, the support element of the second individual cell is not only electrically connected to the cover element of the first individual cell, but forms a single component. Various embodiments are disclosed, whereby said fuel cell system is preferably in heat-conducting connection to the exhaust system or the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine driving a motor vehicle.
