ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD IN A FUEL CELL APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention relates to an arrangement in fuel cell apparatuses for processing the leakage gases of fuel cells, the fuel cell apparatus comprising at least a fuel cell unit (6), the fuel cells of which include an anode side (7) and a cathode side (8) and an electrolyte (9) therebetween and in which fuel cell apparatus there is at least a fuel inlet (1) into the anode side (7) and an oxygen- containing gas inlet (11) into the cathode side (8). According to the invention the fuel cell unit (6) is surrounded by a fire-proof casing (18) provided with a combustion space (19), the combustion space (19) of the casing being combined with an inlet for introducing oxygen-containing gas into the combustion space (19).
