Abstract
The present invention relates to a fuel cell arrangement which comprises at least two single fuel cells, the single fuel cells being disposed non-parallel to each other, i.e. being disposed offset or in a shingle construction relative to each other.
Claims21
A fuel cell arrangement comprising at least two electrochemical single cells, each electrochemical single cell being constructed at least from the following components:
- a) at least one current discharger structure disposed on the anode side,
- b) a supply possibility for fuel,
- c) an electrode-membrane arrangement (MEA), comprising an anode-side electrode, a membrane and a cathode-side electrode,
- d) a supply possibility for the oxidant, and also
- e) at least one current discharger structure disposed on the cathode side,
- wherein each electrochemical single cell is connected electrically directly to at least one adjacent electrochemical single cell and is disposed offset relative to the at least one adjacent electrochemical single cell.
