摘要:
A heat pipe is installed in a generating chamber of a module being comprised of a solid oxide fuel cell or a bundle of a plurality of solid oxide fuel cells connected in parallel or series. Preferably, the heat pipe is installed across the generating chamber and a combustion chamber for burning residual fuel unused as electrochemical reaction. By installing the heat pipe as described above, the heat transfer between both the chambers are executed smoothly, and thereby it is possible to make heat uniform in the module, in starting state, normal generating state, high power output state or abnormal state of the module.

A temperature adjustment member is arranged to control temperature of a reformer independently of temperature of a fuel cell module. The reformer is structured as a three-fluid heat exchanger into which a fluid is introducible whose temperature is higher or lower than exhaust-gas temperature of the fuel cell module. Then, the temperature of the reformer is controlled independently of operation temperature of the fuel cell by introducing the higher-temperature or lower-temperature fluid into the reformer. Also, a high-temperature or low-temperature gas is mixed with the module's exhaust gas, thereby adjusting temperature of the exhaust gas itself. This also controls the temperature of the reformer independently of the operation temperature of the fuel cell.

It is an object to shorten current path between an anode and a cathode in a tube type SOFC and thereby to decrease resistance. The tube type fuel cell contains a tube type electrolyte placed between an anode and a cathode, wherein an auxiliary electrode is provided over the entire region of a cell reaction region on at least one of the anode and cathode. The current path is shortened and resistance is decreased, because the anode auxiliary electrode or cathode auxiliary electrode is provided over the entire peripheral surface of the anode or cathode, and the current path in the auxiliary electrode has a greatly increased cross-sectional area.

The present invention provides a fuel cell power system and a power generating method in which the rise of concentration of water vapor and carbon dioxide in the direction of the anode gas flow is controlled to enhance the electromotive force in the downstream region of the anode gas flow, thereby improving the power generating efficiency. A mixed gas of a hydrocarbon and water vapor and/or carbon dioxide or a reformed version of said mixed gas having an oxygen atom/carbon atom ratio (O/C ratio) of 2 or higher is supplied from a spot upstream in the direction of the anode gas flow while a hydrocarbon or a mixed gas of a hydrocarbon and water vapor and/or carbon dioxide having an O/C ratio of lower than 2 is supplied supplementally from a spot downstream, and the gas supplied supplementally from the downstream side is reformed by making use of water vapor and carbon dioxide generated by the electrochemical reactions upstream of the anode gas flow and is utilized for power generation.

In a fuel cells power generation system provided with a power generation module having a plurality of fuel cells, the structure is made such that a cross sectional area of at least one of a fuel flow path and an air flow path is larger in an inner portion of the power generation module and smaller in an outer portion thereof. Accordingly, gas tends to flow through the inner portion of the power generation module, a gas flow rate is quickened, and it is possible to uniformize a molar flow rate of the fuel and the air supplied to the fuel cell, even in a state in which a temperature distribution of the module is not uniform within the power generation module.
