<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid oxide fuel cell having a preferential cooling function of a seal for setting uniform cell temperature by controlling heat transfer. <P>SOLUTION: This solid oxide fuel cell module includes a manifold 12, a plate, a cathode electrode, a fuel cell and an anode electrode. The manifold includes an air or oxygen inlet 24 in communication with passages branching away from one another above the periphery part of the cell. The passages combine to flow the air or oxygen radially or inwardly for reception in the center of the cathode flow field 14. The cathode flow field has a plurality of interconnection parts 40 providing circuitous cooling passages in a generally radial outward direction cooling the fuel cell. The interconnection parts are formed of different thermally-conductive materials for a preferential cooling. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
