    Abstract: A fuel cell system and corresponding methods are provided. The fuel cell system includes a fuel cell stack configured for in-block reforming, as well as a pre-reformer. The fuel cell stack may include a plurality of fuel cells. The fuel cell stack may also include a fuel supply manifold, a fuel exhaust manifold, an oxidant supply manifold, and an oxidant exhaust manifold. The fuel supply manifold may be configured to receive fuel, and to supply the fuel to the fuel cell stack for in-block reforming. The fuel exhaust manifold may be configured to expel fuel exhaust from the fuel cell stack. The oxidant supply manifold may be configured to receive an oxidant and to supply the oxidant to the fuel cell stack for in-block reforming. The oxidant exhaust manifold may be configured to expel oxidant exhaust from the fuel cell stack.

    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.
