MODULAR FUEL ELEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HEATING FUEL ELEMENT SYSTEM WITH SEVERAL MODULES Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC H01M8/249 H01M8/4302 H01M8/4746 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of electrical engineering, namely to modular fuel element system (1), in particular a modular SOFC system, including several modules (2) for providing electrical energy, while each module (2) has cold boxing (9) and hot boxing (10); air source (3), and air supply pipeline (4), while modules (2) are connected to air source (3) through air supply pipeline (4); fuel source (5), and fuel supply pipeline (6), while modules (2) are connected to fuel source (5) through fuel supply pipeline (6); and at least one control device (7). At least one blower (11) is located in air supply pipeline (4) downstream of air source (3), and each module (2) includes at least one adjustment device for adjusting air supply, in particular valve (12) for adjusting air supply. In the modular system, each module, separately and independently from all other modules, can be adjusted to a certain operating temperature.

EFFECT: increase in the efficiency of fuel element operation.
