Interconnection Of Bundled Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
US Patent:
8628891, Jan 14, 2014
Filed:
Dec 14, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/639361
Inventors:
Michael Brown - Cambridge MA, US
Anthony F. Litka - Hanover MA, US

Assignee:
Acumentrics Corporation - Westwood MA
International Classification:
H01M 8/12, H01M 8/02
US Classification:
429466, 429469, 429510, 429517
Abstract:
A system and method for electrically interconnecting a plurality of fuel cells to provide dense packing of the fuel cells. Each one of a plurality of fuel cells has a plurality of discrete electrical connection points along an outer surface. Electrical connections are made directly between the discrete electrical connection points of adjacent fuel cells so that the fuel cells can be packed more densely. Fuel cells have at least one outer electrode and at least one discrete interconnection to an inner electrode, wherein the outer electrode is one of a cathode and an anode and wherein the inner electrode is the other of the cathode and the anode. In tubular solid oxide fuel cells the discrete electrical connection points are spaced along the length of the fuel cell.

International Classification:
H01M 4/86, H01M 8/12
US Classification:
429040000, 429031000, 429044000, 429032000
Abstract:
In a tubular solid-oxide fuel cell, current is collected from an inner anode layer at one or more discrete points along the length of the fuel cell that are accessible from the outside of the fuel cell. Current can be collected from the anode layer at both ends of the fuel cell, once in the center of the fuel cell, or at any of a multitude of axial points along the length of the fuel cell.
