PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid electrolyte fuel cell module capable of eliminating an extreme temperature drop in the vicinity of an upper part in a power generation chamber, and reducing the axial temperature distribution of the power generation chamber for improving a stack function. SOLUTION: This module burns gases such as natural gases mainly composed of methane, higher-order hydrocarbon gases such as ethane and butane, and alcohols such as methanol. In this case, a water vapor reforming catalyst 49 for causing the reaction of the fuel with water vapors for reforming the fuel to hydrogen and carbon monoxide is installed on the external surface of a fuel supply pipe 48 in a power generation chamber, thereby using generated heat resulting from power generation with a fuel cell stack 42 and water vapors for reforming reaction. |
