FUEL CELL SYSTEM

A fuel cell system includes a reformer (22) and a plurality of fuel cells (23) of solid oxide. The reformer (22) reforms raw fuel to generate fuel gas. The plurality of fuel cells (23) generates electric power by using the fuel gas and oxidant gas. The plurality of fuel cells (23) is arranged in the...

More Information
Summary:A fuel cell system includes a reformer (22) and a plurality of fuel cells (23) of solid oxide. The reformer (22) reforms raw fuel to generate fuel gas. The plurality of fuel cells (23) generates electric power by using the fuel gas and oxidant gas. The plurality of fuel cells (23) is arranged in the up-down direction and the right-left direction. The reformer (22) has a cell facing face (221) that faces any of the plurality of fuel cells (23) in the back-and-forth direction. This configuration improves temperature uniformity among the plurality of fuel cells (23), and as a result, suppresses or prevents a decrease in the power generation efficiency of the fuel cell system.
