Abstract: A fuel cell stack comprising alternating solid oxide fuel cell plates (10) and gas separator plates (30) stacked face to face with one or more seal assemblies (34, 36, 37, 38, 40) provided between opposed generally planar surfaces (33, 54) of each adjacent pair of plates. Each seal assembly comprises a pair of rigid ribs (36, 37) projecting from one surface (33) with a valley (38) therebetween and a third rigid rib (34) projecting from the other surface (54) and nested between the pair of ribs. Opposed contact surfaces (54, 60, 61) cooperate to define the maximum insertion of the third rib (34) into the valley (38). The third rib (34) has a profile that leaves a void between the valley (38) and the third rib (34) at said maximum insertion. A glass sealant (40) in said void contacts the surface of the valley (38) and the third rib (34). In a preferred embodiment each rib (34, 36, 37) tapers away from the respective surface (33, 54) towards a distal surface (51, 61) of the rib.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for gasifying fuel in a fluidised bed reactor (1) containing fluidised solid material particles. The fuel (8) is introduced into the reactor bottom part, and product gas (10) formed in gasification is led from the reactor top to a separator, such as a cyclone (11), which separates solid particles from the gas for recirculation to the reactor. In accordance with the invention, a bubbling fluidised bed (2) containing coarser particles, and above this, a circulating bed containing finer particles are maintained in the reactor by recirculating the particles separated from the product gas to the reactor, to the top of the bubbling fluidised bed or above this. The reactor may comprise a lower part (2) for the bubbling fluidised bed and an upper part (4) larger in cross-section for the circulating fluidised bed, the speed of the ascending gas flow in the circulating bed being equal to or lower than that of the bubbling bed. The separating limit in the cyclone may be adjusted such that the discharged product gas flow entrains solid particles, which have a binding effect on tacky ash particles. The product gas is cooled in two successive heat exchangers (19, 20) before filtration of the gas. The method is suitable for gasification of biomasses and recycled fuels forming tars and/or containing chlorine, thus providing a solution to the problems of fouled and clogged gas ducts.
