Abstract
A fuel cell includes a stack and heating plates sandwiching the stack. The stack is formed of a set of electrochemical generators superimposed along a stacking axis. The heating plates are located axially on each side of the set. Each heating plate includes cavities and orifices for accessing the cavities. The fuel cell may be incorporated in a facility that includes a source of pressurized gas, which is linked to the orifices of the heating plates, and a device for managing a supply process for supplying gas to the cavities from the source of pressurized gas and an evacuation process for evacuating gas from the cavities.
