INSULATING DEVICE AND TENSIONING DEVICE FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE FUEL CELL SYSTEM COMPONENT

摘要

The invention relates to a device (10) comprising a thermally insulating container (12-38) and at least one high temperature fuel cell system component (40) that is arranged in the container (12-38), said high temperature fuel cell component being surrounded by at least one insulating layer (24-30) made of a first material. A tensioning device acts upon the insulating layer. According to the invention, the tensioning device comprises one or more plate-type elements (32 -38) that are made of a second material and that act upon the insulating layer and that are supported on the container housing (12-22). Said elements can be elastically deformed when a pressure is applied, at which the first material cannot be deformed.
