PURPOSE:To provide a molten carbonate type fuel cell having simplified assembly process, decreased dimension such as stacking dimension, suppressed breakage of an electrolyte tile by setting wave-shape convexity on both surfces of middle part of a separator comprising one piece of thin metal plate, and installing a bank alternately on the both sides along the neighboring side. CONSTITUTION:A stack 36 is held at operating temperature. A fuel gas A and an oxidizing gas B are supplied to gas manifolds 37a, 37b through pipes 37c, 37d from a supply source. The gas manifolds are separated between a container which the stack 36 is accommodated, and each surface formed in a stacked direction of the stack 36. The fuel gas A and oxidizing gas B are distributed to gas flowing paths 47, 46 of the stack 36, and flow as shown schematically as gas flows A, B in the figure. As gases flow, gases A and B react electrochemically in a unit cell comprising an anode 33, a cathode 32, and an electrolyte layer 31, and current is taken out across electrodes 32, 33. |
