HIGH TEMPERATURE FUEL CELL SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED HEAT EXCHANGER NETWORK

摘要

A fuel cell system includes a fiiel cell stack, a heat transfer device which is adapted to transfer heat from a cathode exhaust stream of the fuel cell stack to water to be provided to an fuel inlet stream, a reformer adapted to reform a hydrocarbon fuel to a hydrogen containing reaction product and to provide the reaction product to the fuel cell stack, and a combustor which is thermally integrated with the reformer.
