A multi-function bundle having all of the basic support functions integrated therein can be used as a basic building block component, for example, in a fuel cell engine. The multi-function bundle is modular, easy to assemble, and able to withstand the physical and thermal shocks encountered in mobile applications. The multi-function bundle utilizes fully distributed fuel and oxidant supply systems which help to reduce temperature gradients throughout the array of fuel cells. The multi-function bundle may be comprised of a plurality of fuel cells, an oxidant supply system, a fuel supply system and a support structure which integrates the fuel cells, oxidant supply system, and fuel supply system into a single unit. The oxidant and fuel supply systems may be fully distributed. The fuel supply system may include one or more fuel feed tube assemblies which allow distributed internal fuel reformation and reduce temperature gradients throughout the array of fuel cells.

La présente invention concerne un orgue polyvalent intégrant toutes les fonctions supports de base et convenant comme brique de base, notamment dans un moteur à pile à combustible. Cet orgue polyvalent qui est modulaire et facile à assembler, est capable de résister aux chocs mécaniques et thermiques habituels des applications mobiles. Il utilise des systèmes d'alimentation en combustible et oxydant totalement distribués, ce qui permet une meilleure réduction des gradients de température dans l'ensemble d'un orgue de piles à combustible. L'orgue polyvalent est généralement constitué d'une pluralité de piles à combustible, d'un système d'alimentation en oxydant, d'un système d'alimentation en combustible, et d'une structure support intégrant en un seul module les piles et les deux systèmes d'alimentation. Les deux systèmes d'alimentation peuvent être totalement distribués. Le système d'alimentation en combustible peut comporter un ou plusieurs ensembles de tubes d'alimentation en combustible, ce qui permet un réformage interne distribué du combustible et réduire les gradients de température dans l'ensemble de l'orgue de piles à combustible.
