Abstract
In a solid electrolyte high temperature fuel cell arrangement comprising several fuel cells arranged upright directly adjacent one another and connected in series wherein each cell is defined between opposite planar connecting plates defining therebetween a chamber in which a solid electrolyte element with opposite cathode and anode surfaces is disposed in spaced relationship from the side walls of the connecting plates so as to form air and fuel gas channels with top discharge openings at opposite sides of the solid electrolyte element, the planar connecting plates include flow passages for conducting at least one of the air and fuel gas to the bottom of the air and gas channels, respectively.
