Abstract

A fuel cell has a high heat recovery efficiency for effectively collecting heat discharged from a fuel cell stack. The fuel cell includes a power generating cell and a separator which are alternately laminated to constitute a fuel cell stack. The fuel cell stacks are disposed in the central area of a power generating reaction chamber to form two columns-by-two rows array in a plan view. A cross-shaped fuel reformer is arranged between the opposing sides of the fuel cell stacks.
