  • Electrolysis or co-electrolysis reactor (SOEC) or fuel cell (SOFC) with electrochemical cell stacking by preassembled modules, and associated production process
    Patent number: 11888183
    Abstract: An electrochemical device may be formed by assembly by stacking preassembled modules, each of these modules being produced as a usual stack of electrochemical cells. The manufacture of preassembled modules can make it possible to produce electrochemical devices with a large number of electrochemical cells, without the bracing problems present and excessive crushing courses that are encountered in the cell stacks according to the prior art, i.e., in a single block.

  • ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A SOEC/SOFC-TYPE SOLID OXIDE STACK AND A HIGH-TEMPERATURE SEALED COUPLING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230349052
    Abstract: An assembly includes a solid-oxide pack of the SOEC/SOFC type and a system for clamping the pack. The assembly furthermore includes a coupling system gastight at high temperature, including a clamping base with a first through internal pipe to enable a tube to pass, a support base located in the pipe and having a second through internal pipe, and a seal, having a C shape, positioned against a first end of the support base (92). One of the clamping plates includes a through pipe for gas to pass having a support surface for the seal and a threaded countersink for receiving a thread of the clamping base.

  • ASSEMBLY CONSISTING OF A SOLID-OXIDE STACK OF THE SOEC/SOFC TYPE AND OF A COUPLING SYSTEM GASTIGHT AT HIGH TEMPERATURE WITH COUPLING FLANGE
    Publication number: 20220376287
    Abstract: An assembly includes a solid-oxide stack of the SOEC/SOFC type and a system for clamping the solid-oxide stack. This assembly also comprises one system for the coupling, gastight at high temperature, including a coupling flange to enable a gas inlet and/or outlet tube to pass, at least one clamping screw, provided with a clamping head, and a seal, positioned between said at least one of the top and bottom clamping plates and against the coupling flange.
