Abstract:
A fuel flow guiding arrangement is disclosed for a solid oxide fuel cell wherein the arrangement is configured for guiding oxygen rich side gas to and from an electrolyte element. The arrangement includes a flow field plate for each cell to arrange flows in the cell, a flow distribution area on the flow field plate, and a flow outlet area on the flow field plate. The arrangement can guide fuel feed flow to the flow distribution area from sides of a fuel cell, and can turn at least one of the fuel feed flow on the flow distribution area and fuel outlet flow on the flow outlet area to equalize flow distribution on the electrolyte element. A fuel flow adjusting structure can essentially homogenously adjust at least one of the fuel feed flow and fuel outlet flow over the electrolyte element.
