SOLID OXIDE OXIDATION UNIT AND PRESSURE-RESISTANT FUEL CELL

Abstract

The present invention relates to a oxide oxidation unit (600) for converting at least one reductant to thermal energy under the production of exhausts (G) and further exhausts (H) from a first supply flow (24) comprising an oxidant and a second supply flow (26) comprising the reductant, respectively; the solid oxide oxidation unit (600) comprising a duct wall (14) configured for separating the first supply flow (24) from the second supply flow and at least sectionwise comprising an electrolyte layer allowing for a transfer of ions of the oxidant to the reductant; wherein the duct wall (14) comprises an electrically conducting material (113) allowing for a transfer of electrons from the reductant to the oxidant for enabling a full oxidation of the reductant contained in the second supply flow (26). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a fuel cell arrangement (200) comprising at least one solid oxide oxidation unit (600) and at least one fuel cell setup (100) comprising a carrier structure (10) comprising a duct wall; wherein a primary power coating layer (28) is applied on a surface of the duct wall for being arranged between the first supply flow and the second supply flow; and wherein the primary power coating layer (28) is configured for generating electrical energy from the first supply flow and the second supply flow; to an energy supply system (300), comprising at least one solid oxide oxidation unit (600) and/or at least one fuel cell arrangement (200), and to an apparatus, in particular a vehicle, such as an aircraft (400), comprising same.
