Abstract
The invention relates to a device for electrically contacting electrodes in high-temperature fuel cells. The inventive device is characterized by an interconnector plate with openings and contact elements, which are located therein and which are provided for electrically contacting electrodes. The contact elements protrude from both sides of the interconnector plate at a predetermined height, and the openings are sealed in a gas-tight manner.
Claims9
A device (1) for electrically contacting electrodes (5, 7) of a high-temperature fuel cell, characterized by an interconnector plate (2) with openings and contact elements (3) therein for electrically contacting the electrodes (5, 7) whereby the contact elements (3) on both sides of the interconnector plate (2) project to a predetermined height and close the openings in a gas-tight manner.
The device according to the preceding claim whereby all contact elements (3) project from the interconnector plate (2) to the same height.
A high temperature fuel cell encompassing a device according to one of the preceding claims.
