Abstract
To an internal vessel that houses cells of a solid oxide fuel cell, an external vessel is further disposed. In the internal vessel, a plurality of planar cells is disposed vertically with a gap between the cells, a mixed gas of a fuel and air is descended from top down through the gap having a predetermined width between the cells, and, at a bottom portion of the housing space, the mixed gas is burned to generate electricity.
Claims9
A single chamber solid oxide fuel cell, comprising:
- a cell housing in which a mixed gas of fuel and air is flowed, and
- a plurality of planar cells disposed, in the cell housing space of the cell housing, in parallel and with a predetermined gap between the cells, wherein
- the mixed gas flows the gap and is burned at a downstream portion of a flow of the mixed gas in the housing space to generate electricity.
