Abstract: There is disclosed a high temperature fuel cell system incorporating off-gas anode loop recycling and reforming. The fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack having an anode inlet for fuel and an anode outlet for off-gas. A recycling device is configured to receive at least a portion of the off-gas from the anode outlet and to mix the portion of the off-gas with hydrocarbon fuel from a primary hydrocarbon fuel stream so as to form a reformable mixture. A reformer is configured to receive the reformable mixture from the recycling device and to generate a reformed fuel stream by reforming the reformable mixture. The fuel cell system is provided with a secondary hydrocarbon fuel stream and the reformed fuel stream and the secondary hydrocarbon fuel stream are supplied to the anode inlet of the fuel cell stack.

Abstract: A fuel cell system having a cathode, anode and auxiliary loop is provided. The anode loop may be configured to deliver reformed and unreformed fuel to the fuel cells. Unreformed fuel may be provided to the fuel cells by bypassing a portion of the fuel around a reformer. The unreformed fuel may be reformed in the fuel cell block. The cathode loop may direct a portion of oxidant exhausted from said fuel cells back to the fuel cell through a cathode ejector. The ejector may be supplied with pressurized oxidant that may be heated prior to entering the cathode ejector. The auxiliary loop may combust unused fuel and oxidant to provide the heat transferred to the oxidant prior to the oxidant entering the cathode loop.

Abstract: This invention relates to a fuel cell system with an improved arrangement for mixing fuel and oxidant. The present invention relates to a high temperature fuel cell system, in particular to a solid oxide fuel cell system. An ejector is provided with three inlets for a portion of unused oxidant, a portion of unused fuel and a portion of primary oxidant. The ejector mixes and entrains the unused oxidant, a portion of unused fuel and a portion of primary oxidant so rapidly, the time the mixture resides in the ejector is less than the time required for the mixture to ignite.
