ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a molten carbonate fuel cell system having a plurality of fuel cell stacks, with each fuel cell stack having an anode and a cathode. Each of the anodes includes an anode feed inlet and an anode exhaust outlet, and each cathode includes a cathode feed inlet and a cathode exhaust outlet. A combuster for receiving unreacted fuel from the anode exhaust outlet of a first one of the fuel cell stacks is connected to the cathode feed inlet of a second one of the fuel cell stacks for delivering exhaust from the combuster. An intercooler is disposed between the cathode exhaust outlet of the second fuel cell stack and the cathode feed inlet of the first fuel cell stack for cooling gases passing therebetween.
