FUEL CELL MODULE, FUEL CELL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A FUEL CELL MODULE

The invention relates to a fuel cell module () having a plurality of fuel cells forming a fuel cell stack and having an enclosure () which surrounds the fuel cell stack. The enclosure () includes a bottom assembly and a lid cap assembly (), wherein the bottom assembly includes a jacket at least partly form-fitted to the stack architecture providing internal alignment functions and a bottom plate in pressure contact with the fuel cell stack, wherein the lid cap assembly () comprises a compression plate () in pressure contact with the fuel cell stack. The bottom assembly () and the lid cap assembly () are provided with a progressive locking system providing a range of compression pressures to the fuel cell module (). Further aspects of the invention relate to a fuel cell system and to a method for producing a fuel cell module ().
