AN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL STACK

摘要

The present invention relates to a cell stack having at least one electrochemical cell arranged between a first end plate connected to an electrical bolt and a second end plate connected to another electrical bolt, said stack having a housing, means for providing fixed support of said stack to said housing and means for maintaining a constant load over said cell stack. Said means for maintaining a constant load comprise an elastic pad inserted into the space between said cell stack and said housing wall. The cell stack is applicable in the area of PEM fuel cells and PEM water electrolyser cells.
