  • the latter principle has the advantage that heat energy present in the cathode exhaust gas can be recovered (recuperated) via a heat exchanger arranged generally after the afterburner. This eliminates the need for an additional recuperator in the cathode exhaust gas line.

  • the fuel cell system according to the invention builds on the generic state of the art in that the cathode exhaust gas can be fed via a cathode exhaust gas line to the heat exchanger downstream of the afterburner.

  • the heat energy of the anode exhaust gas remains in the exhaust gas, which leaves the afterburner, and is used in the afterburner downstream heat exchanger for preheating the cathode feed air.
  • the fuel cell system according to the invention can be developed such that a valve is provided with which cathode exhaust gas can be wholly or partly branched off between the fuel cell and the heat exchanger.
  • the advantage of a faster start time can be realized. If the cathode exhaust gas were completely fed to the heat exchanger at system start, then it would take longer to sufficiently preheat the cathode feed air. Therefore, with such a valve, the supply of the cathode exhaust gas to the heat exchanger can be controlled, which means in practice that little or no cathode exhaust gas, but only hot Nachbren- ner exhaust gas is supplied to the heat exchanger in the startup phase of the fuel cell system. After the starting phase, when the cathode exhaust gas is hot enough, the cathode exhaust gas can be completely fed to the heat exchanger.

  • the measured temperature serves as a reference variable for the control of the valve in the cathode exhaust diversion train.
  • the cathode exhaust gas rod is designed as a jacket around the afterburner. This leads to a thermal discharge of the afterburner, since the cathode exhaust gas strands surrounding the afterburner in the form of a shell serves as a cooling jacket for the afterburner and at the same time the waste heat of the afterburner is fed to the heat exchanger for preheating the cathode feed air, whereby the afterburner must supply less heat energy.
