    Abstract: A fuel cell arrangement comprises at least one fuel cell module, each fuel cell module comprises a plurality of fuel cells. Each fuel cell module is hollow and defines a chamber. Each fuel cell module is arranged within an inner vessel and the inner vessel is arranged within an outer pressure vessel. Means to supply oxidant is arranged to supply oxidant to the space within the inner vessel so as to supply oxidant to the cathode electrodes. Means to supply fuel is arranged to supply fuel to the chamber in each fuel cell module so to supply fuel to the anode electrodes. The outer pressure vessel is protected from the high temperature environment of the fuel cells by the inner vessel. The outer pressure vessel forms the main pressure containment of the arrangement and operates at a lower temperature and operates with a greater safety margin than a single pressure vessel arrangement.

    Abstract: Solid oxide stacks used as fuel cells generate electricity from hydrogen or other sources. By an electrolysis process such standard fuel cells can be operated in order to create hydrogen or other electro chemical by-products. Unfortunately stacks generally operate at relatively high temperatures which will be difficult to sustain purely on economic grounds. In such circumstances less efficient operation can be achieved at lower temperatures where the air-specific resistance is higher by balancing with the electrical power input in order to cause the disassociation required. In such circumstances by provision of an incident heat source, whether that be through a heat exchanger heating the compressed air flow, or recycling of a proportion of exhaust from the stack, or combustion of a product from stack disassociation the result will be a sustaining electrolysis operation reducing the amount of expensive electrical supply required to achieve dissociation.

    Abstract translation: 用作燃料电池的固体氧化物堆由氢或其他来源发电。 通过电解过程，可以操作这种标准燃料电池以产生氢气或其他电化学副产物。 不幸的是，堆叠通常在相对高的温度下运行，这纯粹是基于经济原因而难以维持的。 在这种情况下，在通过与电力输入平衡以使空气特异性电阻更高的较低温度下可以实现较低效率的操作，以便产生所需的分离。 在这种情况下，通过设置入射热源，无论是通过加热压缩空气流的热交换器，还是将一定比例的排气从堆叠中回收，或者产物从堆叠断开而产生的结果将是维持电解 操作减少了实现分离所需的昂贵的电力供应量。
