SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC H01M8/24 H01M8/12 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: block of fuel cells includes set of tubular grids of solid oxide fuel cells; at that, the above grids are equipped with many through holes and have porous external metal surfaces, inner layers of fuel cells, which are located on inner side of the above holes, and inner surfaces; and at least one head part functionally connected to the set of tubular grids of solid oxide fuel cells and intended to supply the first active gas to porous outer metal surfaces and to supply the second active gas to the above inner surfaces; at that, head part is also characterised with available outer bus which is in electric contact with porous outer metal surfaces, and inner bus which is in electric contact with the above inner surfaces.

EFFECT: reducing manufacturing costs and start-up periods, minimum use of expensive materials, improving efficiency of generated energy.
