Abstract:
1. A fuel cell stack assembly comprising: (i) a plurality of fuel cell packets, each packet comprising (a) a frame and (b) two planar electrolyte-supported fuel cell arrays, said arrays being arranged such that anode side of one fuel cell array faces the anode side of another fuel cell array and said frame in combination with said arrays defining a fuel chamber; (ii) a main enclosure enclosing said packets, such that the plurality of packets form a plurality of oxidant chambers; (iii) a restrictor plate forming, in conjunction with said main enclosure, said plurality of oxidant chambers; (iv) an inlet oxidant plenum manifold connected to one side of the oxidant chambers; (v) an outlet oxidant plenum manifold connected to the other side of the oxidant chambers; (vi) an inlet fuel manifold connected to one side of the fuel chambers; and (vii) an outlet fuel manifold connected to the other side of the fuel.
