Abstract
A system for clamping a high-temperature SOEC/SOFC stack, including: an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate between which the stack can be clamped, each plate including at least one clamping orifice; at least one clamping rod configured to extend through clamping orifices in the upper and lower clamping plates to allow them to be assembled; a clamping mechanism level with each clamping orifice, configured to interact with the at least one clamping rod; and at least one electrically insulating plate configured to be located between the stack and at least one of the upper and lower clamping plates.
