ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL STACK ASSEMBLY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce material and manufacturing cost while enhancing reliability on a fuel cell and the other solid electrochemical device.

SOLUTION: A plurality of stacks of tubular electrochemical cells have a high dense electrolyte disposed between an anode and a cathode preferably deposited as thin films arranged in parallel on stamped conductive interconnect sheets or ferrules. The stack allows one or more electrochemical cell to malfunction without disabling the entire stack. Stack efficiency is enhanced through simplified gas manifolding, gas recycling, reduced operating temperature and improved heat distribution.
