ABSTRACT:
In a fuel cell power plant the anode and cathode exhausts are combined and burned in a burner with a first portion of the burner exhaust being delivered into fuel conditioning apparatus to provide the heat for converting a carbonaceous fuel to hydrogen. The hydrogen is then fed to the anode side of the fuel cells. A second portion of the burner exhaust is preferably used to drive a turbocharger for compressing the fuel cell oxidant which is usually air. If the fuel cells do not operate on pressurized reactants, then the energy in the second portion of the burner exhaust can be used for any other suitable purpose.
