A fuel cell device (100) has a combustion chamber (150) formed in it in a partitioned manner. The combustion chamber (150) receives reforming devices (170A, 170B) and electric power generation devices (140A, 140B). The reforming devices (170A, 170B) convert a liquid fuel, vaporized by being mixed with water vapor, into a reformed gas. The electric power generation devices (140A, 140B) generate electric power by using the reformed gas and air and heat the reforming devices (170A, 170B) by using combustion gas of remaining reformed gas. The fuel cell device (100) further has water flow paths (111B, 111C) located adjacent the outer periphery ofthe combustion chamber (150) and generating water vapor from water by exchanging heat with the combustion chamber (150), combustion gas flow paths (112A, 112B) located adjacent the water flow paths (111B, 111C) and cooling flowing combustion gas by exchange of heat between water and water vapor flowing in the water flow paths (111B, 111C) and the flowing combustion gas, and air flow paths (113C, 113D) located adjacent the combustion gas flow paths (112A, 112B) and heating flowing air by exchange of heat between the combustion gas flowing in the combustion gas flow paths (112A, 112B) and the flowing air. |
