<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device containing a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), capable of suppressing enlargement of a body of SOFC by design, taking into consideration the peak pressure of gas, shortly after start of gas supplying. <P>SOLUTION: The device is provided with a first pressure releasing part 40 for suppressing excessive increase in the pressure inside a gas inlet hole of the SOFC stack 10 (thus, the pressure inside an inner part of flow channel of the SOFC stack 10) between a SOFC stack 10 and a gas supply part 30 for supplying gas (air and fuel gas) providing for power generation reaction of the SOFC stack 10 to the SOFC stack 10 via external flow channels C1, C2, shortly after the start of gas supplying. As a result of this, the SOFC stack 10 does not need to be designed to enable to endure repeated stress, corresponding to excessive pressure (peak pressure); and enlargement of a body of the SOFC stack 10 by a design concerning the peak pressure can be suppressed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
