A membrane electrochemical generator comprises a multiplicity of reaction cells () mutually connected in series and assembled according to a filter-press type configuration. Each reaction cell is delimited by a pair of conductive bipolar plates (), which comprises a multiplicity of first calibrated holes () for the passage of the gaseous reactants and a multiplicity of second calibrated holes () for the discharge of the reaction products and of the optional residual reactants. The cooling cells () comprises a rigid peripheral portion (), whereupon a gasket () is laid, defining and sealing on each face of such peripheral portion a zone of collection of the gaseous reactants () and a zone of collection of the reaction products and of the residual reactants (). In a filter-press configuration, these two zones are respectively overlaid to the first calibrated holes to reach the active area of the reaction cells ().
