PURPOSE:To lessen the concentration gradient of the fuel gas in the longitudinal direction of solid electrolyte fuel cell(SOFC) element and reduce the temp. difference generated thereby, wherein the fuel gas is that which is flowing in the power generating chamber of a power generation device of such a construction that cluster cells consisting of a plurality of SOFC elements having bottom and formed cylindrical in connections with one another and an electricity collecting body are installed in the power generating chamber and power generation is conducted by supplying the fuel gas to the chamber. CONSTITUTION:A power generating chamber 12 is provided with a bulkhead 7 at open end side, bulkhead 4 at the side part, and a bulkhead 3 at the bottom equipped side. Cluster cells consisting of a combination of SOFC elements 6 and an electricity collecting plate 5 are installed in this power generating chamber. A fuel chamber gas 2 is supplied also at the periphery of the side bulkhead 4. A fuel gas supply hole 4a is provided in this side bulkhead 4, and the fuel gas is supplied to the power generating chamber 12 as shown by arrow C. |
