A fuel cell power plant () has a stack () fed hydrogen-rich fuel gas from a source () with fuel recycle () through a compressor () of a turbocompressor () having a turbine () driven either by high pressure hydrogen () or air exhaust ().

Turbocompressor impelling fuel recycle in fuel cell power plant

A stack of plates ( ) (such as fuel cells, electrochemical cells, or enthalpy exchange plates) is surrounded by a sleeve manifold ( ) which is shaped to provide manifold chambers ( ), and including surfaces ( ) for seals ( ) to isolate the manifold chambers from each other. Sleeve manifolds ( ) may be formed of material of varying thickness, by machining, casting, or extrusion, or may be formed of material ( ) of uniform thickness by bending, casting or extrusion. Sleeve manifolds may be formed of metal, graphite, plastic or reinforced plastic.
