Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a housing or enclosure for receiving at least one fuel cell stack, comprising a first enclosure and a second enclosure.
[0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a system comprising such a casing and a fuel cell stack. Background technique
[0003] A SOFC fuel cell system (SOFC="Solid Oxide Fuel Cell") consists of a plurality of components, for this purpose the converter, the afterburner and the SOFC fuel cell stack etc. These components operate at temperatures of approximately 900°C.
[0004] It is known that SOFC fuel cell stacks are produced under defined pressure (compression force) conditions. Compaction of the stack is ensured by temporary clamping forces during manufacture, storage and installation into the system. A possible measure for stiffening or compacting a fuel cell stack is known, for example, from patent publication DE 10308382 B3.
[0005] The previously available measures of compaction have the disad...
