Abstract

A process and device for converting chemical energy from a fuel into thermal and at the same time directly into electrical energy, in which the primary fuel flow (1) is divided into at least two parallel and separately regulated (4; 5) partial flows (2; 3) taken to a fuel cell (6) and a burner (7) and the oxygen vehicle flow (8) is regulated either in its entirety or in partial flows (12; 13) in such a way that the electrical and thermal energy flows are fully decoupled. The partial flow (12) of the oxygen vehicle intended for the high-temperature fuel cell (6) is preheated (14) by the entire exhaust gas current (25). The latter's thermal energy is used to prepare the primary fuel by evaporation (27) and conversion (26) and to provide useful heat (18; 19). A compact, integrated construction with a container (20) containing the fuel cell (6), the burner (7), the after-burner (28) and the converter (26) in the central section and the heat exchanger, lines, controls and accessories in the peripheral section.
