<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell device, capable of performing complete combustion through prevention of accidental fire in a combustion chamber, and performing an efficient operation through heat balance. <P>SOLUTION: A reformer, a solid oxide type fuel cell part 5, and a combustion chamber 6 for mixing and combusting air and reformed gas remaining after reaction at the fuel cell part 5 are provided in a container, and reforming at the reformer is carried out with the use of heat obtained by combustion at the combustion chamber 6. The fuel cell part 5 is structured by arraying a plurality of cells 15 in parallel each having a fuel circulating part 13 where reformed gas is circulated and an air circulating part 14 where air is circulated, and the combustion chamber 6 is fitted in adjacency to the fuel cell part 5 as a combustion space for mixing and combusting the reformed gas passing the fuel cell circulating part 13 and the air passing the air circulating part 14. The combustion chamber 6 has an eddy current generating body 20 arranged for generating eddy current in the circulation direction of the reformed gas and the air further toward a downstream side than its installation site. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
