ABSTRACT:
A fuel cell system which has a high temperature fuel cell stack (1) with current diverters (5) and a reformer and/or an afterburner (6), the current diverters (5) being connected with low temperature connecting elements (10) for current delivery. The current diverters (5) are in thermal contact with the reformer and/or afterburner (6) between the high temperature fuel cell stack (1) and the low temperature connecting elements (10). The thermal contact prevents cooling of the HTFC stack1on its ends in the vicinity of the connecting points of the current diverters (5) and ensures effective conversion and uniform transport of the fuel.
