Abstract

A small scale ceramic fuel cell system to which fuel gas is supplied through an injector which draws ambient air into the system. The air/fuel gas mixture is passed through a catalytic oxidation device which is thereby heated and heats a fuel cell. Air and fuel gas react at the fuel cell to generate an electrical output.
