ABSTRACT:
A preferred method for starting a primary reactor of a fuel cell system includes performing lean combustion within the primary reactor during a first phase of a start sequence and autothermal reforming during a second phase of the start sequence. In another aspect of the present invention, partial oxidation is performed within the primary reactor during the first phase of the start sequence and autothermal reforming is performed during the second phase of the start sequence.
