Abstract: Example embodiments for a method for compressing gas into a liquified gas using a plurality of pairs of liquid gas displacers in parallel moving a working fluid between each pair of displacers to pressurize the gas, arranging sets of the parallel liquid gas displacers in a series to raise the pressure, directly cooling the gas at each displacer pair, and finally condensing the gas using a coolant, collecting the liquified gas, and pressurizing the liquified gas for use in a pipeline.

Abstract: In place of the conventional thick graphite end plate, steel pressure plate combination at the ends of a fuel cell stack, a single steel end plate is used at each end. Each steel end plate is coextensive with the fuel cell component plates and the end plates are held in place by corner brackets mating with insulated tie rods, a load cable is connected directly to the end plates, and gas manifolds sealingly engage the vertical side surfaces of the end plates with a seal which resists unseating due to thermal growth differences between the component parts of the stack. A sealing plate to provide electrical continuity is interposed between the steel pressure plate and the adjacent cell component plates.
