Insulating device and tensioning device for a high temperature fuel cell system component

Abstract

The invention relates to a device comprising a thermally insulating receptacle and, arranged in the receptacle, at least one high-temperature fuel cell system component enclosed by at least one insulating layer of a first material, a clamping means acting on the insulating layer. In accordance with the invention it is provided for that the clamping means comprises, supported by a receptacle housing and acting on the insulating layer, one or more plate-shaped elements made of a second material which is elastically deformable at a contact pressure, at which the first material is not deformable.
