An object is to provide a highly efficient and small-sized fuel cell module. To achieve this object, a cell stack 10, a reformer 20, and an evaporator 30 are accommodated together in a casing 50. The reformer 20 and the evaporator 30 are formed as vertical structures independently juxtaposed to each other and are disposed adjacent to the cell stack. The reformer 20 and the evaporator 30 are heated with exhaust gas resulting from combustion of off-gas released from the cell stack 10. Exhaust gas flow paths respectively are disposed to the reformer 20 and the evaporator 30 so as to let the combustion exhaust gas pass through in a vertical direction for heating the reformer and the evaporator. The exhaust gas flow paths of the reformer 20 and the evaporator 30 are connected in series through a connection pipe 60 above the reformer 20 and the evaporator 30. |
