FUEL CELL SYSTEM WITH A RECIRCULATION STRAND

摘要

The invention relates to a fuel cell system comprising a reformer for generating a reformate from a fuel and an oxidising agent, a fuel cell for converting the reformate into a depleted reformate and electric energy, and a recirculation conduit for partly returning the depleted reformate to the reformer. In this connection the invention is advantageously characterised in that a delivery device is provided by means of which the fuel as well as the depleted reformate from the recirculation conduit are supplyable to the reformer. The invention further relates to a method for operating such a fuel cell system.
