Claims

[1] Housing (10) for a technical installation, comprising a body (11) having an interior space and at least one door (12, 13), characterized by that the housing (10) has at least one partition wall (23) which divides the interior into at least two zones (14, 15, 16). [2] Enclosure (10) according to claim 1, wherein the enclosure (10) has at least one ventilation duct (18, 28, 29, 33) which projects into at least two zones (14, 15, 16), but is hermetically connected to only one of these zones (14, 15, 16). [3] Housing (10) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the housing (10) has a guide plate (24) arranged at a distance from the body (11). [4] Housing (10) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the housing (10) has a pedestal (25) which comprises displaceable receiving elements. [5] Housing (10) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the housing (10) has a pivoting part (26) which is pivotally mounted on a vertical axis. [6] Housing (10) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the housing (10) has a rack (32) for receiving at least one fuel cell module (42) in a second zone (15). [7] System (40) with a housing (10) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the system (40) comprises a fuel cell module (42) arranged in a second zone (15) and a control unit (43) arranged in a third zone (16). [8] Plant (40) according to claim 7, wherein the plant comprises a connection device (41) for pressure vessels (50) filled with hydrogen, arranged in a first zone (14). [9] System (40) according to claim 7 or 8, wherein the system (40) comprises a test load unit (45) and the system (40) is designed to carry out a test operation in which electrical energy generated by the system (40) is absorbed by the test load unit (45). [10] Plant (40) according to claim 9, wherein the plant (40) is designed to carry out a normal operation or the test operation and to withdraw hydrogen from different pressure vessels (50) for this purpose. [11] System (40) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the system (40) comprises a pressure vessel temperature measuring device which is designed to determine the temperature of at least one of the pressure vessels (50).
