Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a manifold (9) for a fuel cell configured to be supplied with an air flow (FA) and with a hydrogen flow (FH), the fuel cell comprising at least two stacks (EI-ES), each stack (EI-ES) comprising a plurality of electrochemical cells, the manifold (9) extending longitudinally along a manifold axis (XC) and vertically along a vertical axis (Z), the manifold (9) defining a body (90) comprising a first lateral face (FI) configured to interface with at least one stack (EI-E4) and a second lateral face (F2) configured to interface with at least one stack (E5-E8), the manifold (9) comprising a connection face (F3) comprising a first hydrogen connector (91a) configured to supply the at least one stack (EI-E4) from the first lateral face (FI) and a first air connector (92a) configured to supply the at least one stack (EI-E4) from the first lateral face (FI).
