Abstract
The invention relates to an electrochemical device that includes an electrochemical unit. The electrochemical unit includes a stack of SOEC/SOFC-type solid oxides operating at high temperatures, a clamping system provided with two clamping plates, referred to as the first clamping plate and second clamping plate, respectively, between which the stack is clamped, one and/or both of the two clamping plates having at least one gas inlet and at least one gas outlet. The unit includes heating means which are designed to ensure the heating of the electrochemical unit and are integrated into said unit. The device includes a containment box, housed in a volume, referred to as internal volume V, the electrochemical unit, the internal volume V being delimited by a surface, referred to as the internal surface S, of the containment box, which follows the shape of the electrochemical assembly.
