Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrochemical cell includes a flow chamber disposed between two plate elements and having a flow inlet and a flow outlet for a flow medium permeating the flow chamber and defining a main flow direction of the flow medium between the flow inlet and the flow outlet. One of the plate elements has protrusions for supporting the plate element on the other plate element in a regular grid structure, between which a network of flow channels passing through the flow chamber runs in at least one flow channel direction. The regular grid structure is configured in such a way that the grid of the flow channels has two or more flow channel directions each enclosing an angle differing from zero degrees relative to the main flow direction of the flow medium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrochemical cell, comprising: two plate elements, one of said plate elements having protrusions disposed in a regular grid structure and configured to support said one plate element on the other plate element; a flow chamber disposed between said two plate elements and having a flow inlet with a distribution channel and a flow outlet with a collecting channel for a flow medium permeating said flow chamber; said flow inlet and said flow outle…
