Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003028141
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A compression device for use with a solid oxide fuel cell stack (10) is formed from a hermetically sealed cylindrical shell (16) filled with an expansion fluid such as air. The shell has a corrugated sidewall which permits axial deformation as the compression device is heated. The shell applies a compressive frame to the stack when installed in the fuel cell stack.
