ABSTRACT:
A fuel cell energy generating system which includes a reformate generating device that contains a hydrocarbon reforming reactor and produces a high-hydrogen reformate, has a fuel cell arrangement to which reformate generated by the reformate generating device can be fed on the inlet side by way of a reformate supply line, having at least one reformate-quality-indicating sensor arranged in the reformate flow path, and having a control unit. A valve is provided in the reformate supply line which can be controlled by the control unit such that it releases or interrupts the feeding of the reformate supplied by the reformate generating device into the fuel cell arrangement as a function of the output signal of the at least one reformate-quality-indicating sensor.
