ELEKTROCHEMISCHE GENERATOREN VON RECHTECKIGER FORM MIT HEIZUNG IN DEN ECKBEREICHEN.

摘要

A solid oxide electrochemical cell generator (1) comprises a rectangular design with four sides that meet at corners, and contains a multiplicity of electrically connected fuel cells (11), where a fuel gas is passed over one side of said cells, an oxygen containing gas is passed into said cells, and said fuel is burned to form heat, electricity, and an exhaust gas. The improvement comprises passing the exhaust gases over the multiplicity of cells (11) in such a way that more of the heat in said exhaust gases flows at the corners of the generator, such as through channels (19).
