<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell system which can easily and surely maintain a desulfurizer in a desulfurization unit at a proper temperature. <P>SOLUTION: In the fuel cell system 1, an SOFC stack 3 is thermally connected with a base end portion 11a of a heat conductive member 11 and a water vaporizing unit 4 is thermally connected with a top end portion 11b of the heat conductive member 11 and, as a result, heat is conducted from the SOFC stack 3 to the water vaporizing unit 4 by the heat conductive member 11 and water as a reforming material is vaporized by the heated water vaporizing unit 4. At this time, since a desulfurization unit 5 is thermally connected with an intermediate portion 11c between the base end portion 11a and the top end portion 11b in the heat conductive member 11, the desulfurizer in the desulfurization unit 5 is heated at a predetermined temperature which is lower than a temperature of the SOFC stack 3 and higher than that inside the vaporizing unit 4. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
