Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010094388A1] A fuel cell system (1) comprises at least one fuel cell (2) that has a cathode region (3) and an anode region (4). The fuel cell system further comprises an exchanging device (12), through which an intake air stream flowing to the cathode region (3) and a used air stream discharged from the cathode region (3) flow. In said exchanging device (12), heat is transferred from the intake air stream to the used air stream, and steam is simultaneously transferred from the used air stream to the intake air stream. The fuel cell system also comprises a compressor (6) which can be driven at least in an assisting manner by a turbine (16). Said turbine (16) is disposed downstream of the exchanging device (12) and is penetrated by used air. Furthermore, a catalytic material, to which a fuel-containing gas can be fed, is disposed upstream of the turbine (16). According to the invention, the catalytic material (13) is integrated into the exchanging device (12) at the used air end, to which an exhaust gas from the anode region (4) can be fed.
