The fuel cell system (10) comprises a plurality of fuel cell modules (12), each module (12) including a stack (14) of fuel cells (15) and a stack-clamping device (17). The clamping device (17) comprises at least one clamp (30, 31) including a plate (34) and at least one collector (36A, 36B, 36C, 36D, 36E, 36F) for supplying the cells (15) in the stack (14) with oxidising or reducing fluid or for extracting reaction products from the stack (14), said plate (34) comprising a supporting face (40) bearing on one end of the stack (14) and at least one connection face (44) intended to be positioned facing a connection face (44) of another adjacent plate (34). The plate (34) is formed from a single piece of material, and the or each collector (36A, 36B, 36C, 36D, 36E, 36F) is arranged inside the plate (34) such as to open at an opening (56) provided on the connection face (44), facing an opening (56) on the connection face (44) of the other adjacent plate (34), so that the collectors (36A, 36B, 36C, 36D, 36E, 36F) of the two plates (34) are in fluid communication. |
