Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a fuel cell system, in particular solid oxide fuel cell system (SOFC-System), with several tubular fuel cells, whereby several of these fuel cells respectively have at least one inner electrode, an electrolyte surrounding this/these inner electrode(s) at least in sections and at least one outer electrode surrounding the electrolyte at least in sections, so that the electrolyte spatially separates the inner and the outer electrode(s) from each other, at least two of these fuel cells are located or fixated in or on an electrically conducting carrier and/or contact, which connects—electrically conducting—the inner electrode(s) and/or one/several electrical contact(s) of one/several inner electrode(s) of a first tubular fuel cell or a part of such with the outer electrode(s) and/or one/several electrical contact(s) of one/several outer electrode(s) of a second tubular fuel cell or a part of such, whereby the second tubular fuel cell is preferably located directly adjacent to the first tubular fuel cell or to the part of this fuel cell.
