The present invention relates to a mixing device (10) for mixing at least anode exhaust gas (AEG) with cathode exhaust gas (CEG) from a fuel cell stack (110) of a fuel cell system (100), having a cathode exhaust gas line (30) with a cathode exhaust gas connection (32) for fluid-communicating connection with a cathode exhaust gas section (134) of a cathode section (130) of the fuel cell stack (110) and an anode exhaust gas line (20) with an anode exhaust gas connection (22) for fluid-communicating connection with an anode exhaust gas section (124) of an anode section (120) of the fuel cell stack (110), characterised in that the anode exhaust gas line (20) is arranged within the cathode exhaust gas line (30) and has a closed anode exhaust gas line end (24) and at least two anode exhaust gas outlets (21) into the cathode exhaust gas line (30) with outlet directions (OD) radial to the anode exhaust gas line axis (AEL) and to the cathode exhaust gas line axis (CEL), wherein, further downstream of the anode exhaust gas line end (24), the cathode exhaust gas line (30) transitions into a mixed exhaust gas line (40) with a mixed exhaust gas connection (42) for fluid-communicating connection with a burner inlet (152) of an afterburner (150) of a fuel cell system (100).
Mixing device for mixing at least anode exhaust gas (AEG) with cathode exhaust gas (CEG) from a fuel cell stack of a fuel cell system, having a cathode exhaust gas line with a cathode exhaust gas connection for fluid-communicating connection with a cathode exhaust gas section of a cathode section of the fuel cell stack and an anode exhaust gas line with an anode exhaust gas connection for fluid-communicating connection with an anode exhaust gas section of an anode section of the fuel cell stack, wherein the anode exhaust gas line is arranged within the cathode exhaust gas line and has a closed anode exhaust gas line end and at least two anode exhaust gas outlets into the cathode exhaust gas line with outlet directions (OD) radial to the anode exhaust gas line axis (AEL) and to the cathode exhaust gas line axis (CEL), wherein, further downstream of the anode exhaust gas line end, the cathode exhaust gas line transitions into a mixed exhaust gas line with a mixed exhaust gas connection for fluid-communicating connection with a burner inlet of an afterburner of a fuel cell system.
