ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to fuel cell modules. The fuel cell module includes a housing that contains a plurality of fuel cell elements called unicells. Each unicell comprises a plurality of microcells. The housing is divided into a plurality of housing sections. A compressible bulkhead disposed between two adjacent housing sections and has a plurality of holes formed therein to allow respective unicells to pass through the bulkhead. A clamp element compresses the bulkhead to form a gas-tight seal between said bulkhead and the unicells.
