EMPILEMENT ETANCHE DE PILE A COMBUSTIBLE

摘要

The invention relates to a fuel cell consisting of a stack of elementary cells and interconnectors (7) and comprising a single vertical seal (2) which is placed around the stack thus formed. The aforementioned assembly is preferably equipped with a containment tube (1) which is placed around the vertical seal (2). Supply channels (11 and 12) in the interconnectors and lateral inlet and outlet (13 and 14) holes can be used to supply distribution channels (9 and 10) which are positioned against the electrodes of each elementary cell. The invention is suitable for SOFC-type fuel cells.
