    Abstract: Fuel cell consisting of simple components. This fuel cell is preferably constructed as anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell, but can also be used with electrolyte- and metal- supported solid oxide fuel cells. The anode and electrolyte are larger than the cathode and the portion of the anode/electrolyte protruding beyond the cathode is provided with a peripheral seal. The anode/electrolyte/cathode combination is provided with a flow/gas distribution grid on both the anode and the cathode side. The anode/cathode combination including the flow/gas distribution grids is enclosed between two separator plates, an auxiliary plate and a spacer. There is a peripheral seal. The auxiliary plate is designed for external feeding and discharge of a cathode gas, whilst the separator plate and the auxiliary plate are prodded with openings for internal feeding/discharge of anode gas. The join of the auxiliary plate and spacer to the separator plate is effected by means of a solder join. The other two seals are effected with a metallic seal, such as a silver wire. In this way a cell stack consisting of at least twenty-five fuel cells produced in this way can be built up using simple components obtained, for example, from sheet by punching. The invention is preferably carried out with the use of internal distribution of the anode gas and external distribution of the cathode gas, as a result of which a compact, safe cell stack is obtained.

    Abstract: An arrangement is proposed for a system with at least two molten carbonate or solid oxide fuel cell stacks (1, 2, 3). The cathode flows (14) of these stacks are connected in series while the anode flows (25) are in parallel. All stacks have an internal reforming device for a hydrocarbon fuel. Anode gas is recycled (24) from the stack outlets to the inlets. The invention allows the stacks to be of the same design and this reduces manufacturing costs. The cathode streams between the stacks are cooled by, for example, adding streams of cool air (15) to them. The cathode inlet temperatures can, therefore, be controlled by relatively inexpensive low temperature air valves. The invention allows the system to be designed with few heat exchangers, if any. The per pass utilization of all the oxidant streams and fuel streams are low. The efficiency of the system is typically 4-5 percentage points higher than that of equivalent conventional systems.

    Abstract: SOFC cell unit in which a separator plate provided with a corrugation is fitted and bears directly against the anode and cathode, respectively. Anode gas and cathode gas preferably move in the same direction and anode gas is supplied from a number of anode gas supply openings extending through a cell stack. These openings are situated on the side parallel to the direction of the ducts formed by the corrugation. Cathode gas can be fed directly into the corrugation. In this way, it is possible to produce a highly efficient cell and an associated compact cell stack in a simple manner.
