Energy generating unit comprising a high-temperature fuel cell stack and a vaporizing unit

An energy generating unit comprising:

• a high-temperature fuel cell stack operated by liquid fuel,
• a reformer connected upstream of the fuel cell stack for processing the fuel,
• a recirculation line for at least partially recirculating anode exhaust gas into the reformer,
• said recirculation line comprising a gas outlet line and a feeder line,
• a compressor for supplying anode exhaust gas to the reformer via the feeder line, and
• a feeder capable of providing liquid fuel into the anode exhaust gas, wherein the feeder vaporizes at least some fuel and includes an evaporator made of a nonwoven material that is adjacent a fuel feed line and the feeder has a housing arranged in an exhaust gas chamber of the energy generating unit, said exhaust gas chamber being capable of receiving hot exhaust gas of the energy generating unit, and wherein the gas outlet line is capable of guiding the anode exhaust gas out of the exhaust gas chamber to the compressor, wherein the feeder housing comprises a gas inlet for the anode exhaust gas leading substantially tangentially to a curved surface of the feeder housing thereinto and the feeder housing is distinct from and differently shaped or sized than the exhaust gas chamber.
