SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL OR SOLID OXIDE ELECTROLYZING CELL AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SUCH A CELL

摘要

A gas distribution element (10) for a fuel cell or an electrolyzing device comprises a first layer (2) and a second layer (3). Said first (2) and second layers (3) are disposed with a with a gas distribution structure (11) forming a pattern for a reactant fluid flow. An inlet opening is provided for the supply of reactant fluid to the gas distribution structure (11) formed between the first layer and the second layer by said pattern and an outlet opening is provided for discharging reaction products from the gas distribution structure (11). A supporting layer (4) is provided for tempering the first layer (2) for regulating the temperature of the reactant fluid or of the first layer.
