A Spring System to Ensure Electrical Contact within the SOFC-Stack

摘要

As shown in this study, a more constant electrical contact over the total surfaces of the electrodes within the SOFC-stack can be ensured with the assistance of resilient spring systems in the form of corrugated sheets. As an example for application, a system for the anode, the fuel side, is investigated. The principle may be transferred to the air side as well. At least, this could be an option to enable spring-like deformation without plastic effects.
