A fuel cell assembly has a housing (2) defining an electricity generation/combustion chamber (12), and electricity generation/combustion means disposed within the housing (2). A fuel gas and an oxygen-containing gas are supplied to the electricity generation/combustion means, and a combustion gas formed within the electricity generation/combustion chamber (12) is discharged therefrom. A heat exchanger (38) having a first channel (60) and a second channel (62) is disposed on at least one surface of the housing (2), the combustion gas is discharged from the interior of the electricity generation/combustion chamber (12) through the first channel (60) of the heat exchanger (38), and the oxygen-containing gas or the fuel gas is supplied to the electricity generation/combustion means through the second channel (62) of the heat exchanger (38). A plurality of electricity generation units (82a, 82b, 82c, 82d) is arranged in parallel within the housing (2), and each of said units includes a cell stack (88a, 88b, 88c, 88d) constituting the electricity generation/combustion means. |
