PURPOSE:To save the motive power of an auxiliary machine and facilitate the temperature raising control by independently raising the temperatures of a fuel cell and a reformer. CONSTITUTION:At the time of start operation of a fuel cell 1, an inert gas N' introduced into a cathode circulating system 5 is heated by a heater 18, and then circulated in the cathode circulating system 5 to raise the temperature of the fuel cell 1 to a determined temperature, while an inert gas N introduced into a reformer circulating system 27 bypassing an anode electrode 2 is circulated in the reformer circulating system 27 while heating the gas by the combustion of a raw fuel Z supplied to a reformer 7 to raise the temperature of the reformer 7 to a determined temperature. |
