CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR

摘要

A catalytic combustor is configured to accelerate the combustion processing of anode off gas in the combustor to reduce the amount of unburned hydrogen discharged to the outside of the combustor. Anode off gas and cathode off gas discharged from the fuel cell (1) are fed into the catalytic combustor (25) and combusted with a catalyst (29). Ventilation air is supplied from inside of the fuel cell (1) is also supplied to the catalytic combustor (25). A portion of the catalytic combustor (25) located upstream of the catalyst (29) inside is divided into an upper flow path (37) and a lower flow path (39) by a partitioning plate (35) and a gas flow passage 33 is provided upstream of the upper and lower flow paths (37 and 39). The cathode off gas is supplied to the gas flow passage (33).
