  • Process for Operating a Fuel Cell Arrangement and Fuel Cell Arrangement
    Publication number: 20090068509
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for operating a fuel cell system with fuel cells (2) arranged in a stack (1). It also concerns the fuel cell system itself. In the method of the invention and the fuel cell system of the invention, a fuel gas is partially converted to hydrogen in first reforming units (4) that are in thermal contact with the fuel cells (2) in an endothermic reaction with absorption of heat from the fuel cells (2). This reformed fuel gas is supplied to the anodes of the fuel cells (2).
