A seal between two spaces able to be occupied by two mutually reactive gases, typically oxygen and hydrogen. A buffer chamber is produced between the two spaces of mutually reactive gases, wherein leaks of reactive gases to the buffer chamber are determined to produce a flow which is mainly of diffusive type, for example by molecular or Knudsen diffusion. Such a seal may, for example, find application to production of a seal in an EHT electrolyser or a fuel cell of SOFC type. |
