Estimating the term…
The planar arrangement having CAE-unit, both a first flow field for an oxidizing gas and a first interconnect arranged on a first side of the CAE-unit, both a second flow field for a combustible gas and a second interconnect arranged on the other side of the CAE-unit, the CAE-unit having a first and a second electrode layer, and a solid electrolyte sandwiched therebetween. The first electrode layer forming the first side of the CAE-unit and the second electrode layer forming the other side. Further including a circumferential sealing member to prevent either the leakage of oxidizing gas or combustible gas to the environment or the mixing of the two gases. The sealing member includes a glass component bound to the upper surface of the second interconnect, and a sheet of ceramic fiber paper or mica arranged so as to cover a side of the glass component facing the first interconnect.
A planar arrangement comprising at least one CAE-unit (100;
The planar arrangement of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the surface of the second interconnect (214), to which the glass component (218, 228) is bound, is pretreated with a protective coating (232) provided to ensure adhesion and durability of the glass.
The planar arrangement of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the first interconnect (212) comprises a peripheral portion (224) that is shaped so as to press the sheet (120) of ceramic flake or fiber paper against the glass component (118;
The planar arrangement of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the second interconnect (214) carries or comprises a protruding part (226;
The planar arrangement of any one of the preceding claims, comprising a porous contacting layer (122;
The planar arrangement of any one of the preceding claims, wherein it comprises a single CAE-unit (100) sandwiched between the first interconnect (112;
The planar arrangement of any one of the preceding claims, wherein said sheet of ceramic flake or fiber paper is a mica containing sheet.
