SOLID ELECTROLYTE FUEL CELL MODULE

摘要

PURPOSE:To increase power generating performance by connecting either one of the second electrode of fuel cell unit on the one side of a metal plate and an interconnector and either one of the second electrode of a fuel cell unit on the other side of the metal plate and an interconnector to the metal plate. CONSTITUTION:Each interconnector 16 corresponding to fuel cell unit cell 11 is connected to the under surface of a metallic heat transfer plate 17 located on its upside through a nickel felt 18. The lower part of a fuel electrode 14 in the circumference of the unit cell 1 is connected to the upper surface of a heat transfer plate 17 located on its lower part through a nickel felt 18 to electrically connect unit cells in series. Heat is uniformly transferred through each heat transfer plate 17, and temperature distribution of unit cells 11 is made uniform at every compartment divided by each heat transfer plate 17, and the dispersion of power generating performance is eliminated. The unit cell is avoided from useless load and the life of a solid electrolyte fuel cell module 10 can be lengthened.
