Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell unit, a reformer with a catalyst and heat pipes around the catalyst, and a combustor connected to the heat pipes. A first fuel pipe sends fuel into the reformer. The fuel is reformed in the reformer. A first air port sends air into the reformer. An anode pipe sends the reformed fuel into the fuel cell unit. The chemical reaction of the reformed fuel occurs in the fuel cell unit. A cathode pipe sends the air into the fuel cell unit. A residual reformed fuel pipe sends residual reformed fuel into the combustor. A hot air pipe sends hot air into the combustor. The residual reformed fuel pipe is mixed with the hot air and burned in the combustor. A second fuel pipe sends more fuel into the combustor if necessary. A second air port sends air into the combustor if necessary.

Abstract: A solid oxide fuel cell system includes a fuel cell unit for generating electricity via executing an electrochemical reaction on fuel, a fuel supply for storing the natural gas, water and air and a re-composing unit for re-composing natural gas, water and air into the fuel. A pipe transfers the natural gas, water and air into the re-composing unit from the fuel supply. Another pipe transfers the fuel into the fuel cell unit from the re-composing unit. Another pipe transfers hot air into the re-composing unit from the fuel cell unit. A mixing unit mixes air with residual fuel from the fuel cell unit. A combusting unit burns the mixture from the mixing unit. A heat-exchanging unit executes heat-exchanging between air and the exhaust from the combusting unit. The heat-exchanging unit includes an air-inletting port, an exhaust port and another port for sending hot air into the fuel cell unit.
