<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make an electric generator provided with a gas turbine engine and a solid electrolyte fuel battery integrally compact and improve electric generation efficiency and durability. <P>SOLUTION: The electric generator is provided with the gas turbine engine GT and the solid electrolyte fuel battery FC integrally, and the compressor wheel 17, the turbine wheel 18, the heat exchanger 20 and the combustor 27 of the gas turbine engine GT, and the solid electrolyte fuel battery FC are made symmetric about the axis L of a rotary section 33 comprising the compressor wheel 17 and the turbine wheel 18, and the heat exchanger 20 and the solid electrolyte fuel battery FC are arranged in this order on the side in the direction of the axis L in relation to the rotary section 33. Through this layout, the whole of the electric generator can be not only made compact, but also pressure loss be reduced and the efficiency of electricity generation be improved by making the flow rate of compressed air and exhaust gas uniform. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
