Abstract

In order to obtain a particularly simple structure for a high-temperature fuel cell installation (1) and a very low power requirement for the compressor (70) on the air side, according to the invention at least one high-temperature fuel cell stack (4 14) in a container (2) forms a gastight separator or a component thereof in the container (2) between an air inlet chamber (28) into which the air inlets from the high-temperature fuel cells open and an air outlet chamber (16) into which the air outlets from the hight-temperature fuel cell open. There is preferably at least one point in this separator at which the air (22) in the air outlet chamber (16) can be at least partially recirculated by means of the air (16) flowing into the air inlet chamber (16). Thus the compressor compresses cold, relatively dense air and the hot air (22) can be recirculated in the container (2) without the addition of moving parts. The invention is essentially applicable to all high-temperature fuel cell installations.
