Abstract
The invention relates to fuel cell arrangement characterized in that the fuel cell stack is arranged in a fuel cell housing arranged within the main housing interior which is adapted to the shape of the fuel cell stack such that it encloses the fuel cell stack at a close distance, wherein the fuel cell housing comprises at least one intake opening connected to the interior of the main housing and at least one connection to the suction line connected to the intake side of the fan, and wherein a burner line connected to an inlet opening of the reformer burner is connected to the pressure side of the fan.
Claims7
A fuel cell arrangement comprising a main housing (12) having a main housing interior (18) that is gas-tight with reference to the surroundings in which is located at least one reformer, a reformer burner (22) supplying the reformer with thermal energy, and a fuel cell stack (20), wherein the main housing (12) comprises at least one air connection (14, 16), and wherein at least one fan (34) is provided that draws air through the air connection (14, 16) into the main housing interior (18) during operation, characterized in that the fuel cell stack (20) is arranged in a fuel cell housing (26) arranged within the main housing interior (18) which is adapted to the shape of the fuel cell stack (20) such that it encloses the fuel cell stack (20) at a close distance, wherein the fuel cell housing (26) comprises at least one intake opening (28, 30) connected to the main housing interior (18) and at least one connection (32) to the suction line (36) connected to the intake side of the fan (34), and wherein a burner line (40) connected to an inlet opening (38) of the reformer burner (22) is connected to the pressure side of the fan (34).
