    摘要: The invention relates to a cell plate assembly for adjoining an anode side of a membrane electrode assembly of a solid-state compressor, including adjacent first and second cell plates, each having a channel structure incorporated therein. The second cell plate includes a number of passages typically connecting the therein incorporated channel structure with the anode side of the membrane electrode assembly. The channels of the respective channel structures are interconnected at the interfacing surfaces of the first and second cell plates, wherein the channels incorporated in the second cell plate enclose an angle with the channels incorporated in the first cell plate. The invention further relates to a solid-state compressor including a cell plate assembly according to the invention and a method for operating such a solid-state compressor.
