Abstract

A housing that retains a fuel cell stack includes a casing that defines a cavity. A first plate is retained within the cavity at a first end of the casing. A second plate is partially received into the cavity at a second end of the casing and is secured to the casing. The fuel cell stack is disposed between the first and second plates. The first and second plates exert a compressive force on the fuel cell stack.
