Temperature Control System For Solid Oxide Cells And Method Of Its Use

A temperature control system is disclosed for solid oxide cells, a cell including a fuel side, an oxygen rich side, and an electrolyte element, and the system including a repetitious unit structure for the solid oxide cells. The system includes a fuel flow field plate structure for fuel, an oxidant flow field plate structure for oxidant, electric contacting structures for the fuel and the oxidant and a temperature control fluid structure located in the flow field plate separately between the fuel flow field plate structure and the oxidant flow field plate structure. The temperature control system includes sealing structures to prevent leakages, and controls operation temperature in the solid oxide cells.
