- Said second exchanger is inserted into said water supply circuit of said reformer upstream of a vaporization exchanger of said water.
- the invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising an electricity generator according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 described in the introduction, schematically represents an electricity generator according to the prior art ;
- the air supply circuits of the fuel cell, the burner, the preferred oxidation reactor and the reformer have been shown in broken lines.
- the reformate feed circuit of the fuel cell has been shown in thick lines.

- Crossing of the HTS, LTS and pre-anodic exchangers causes the vaporization of water, which qualifies these exchangers exchangers vaporization.
- the water vapor then passes through the exchanger 70 where it is heated to the inlet temperature of the reformer 60 thanks to the heat produced in the catalytic burner 72. It is then injected into the reformer 60. cooled by the water of the reformer 60, the air is cooled to a temperature adapted to the HP 38 compressor by the RAS BP 40 exchanger conventionally inserted into the cooling circuit of the vehicle.

- the cooling circuits of the air leaving the compressors BP 36 and HP 38 have been dissociated.
- the RAS exchanger BP 40 is cooled by the cooling circuit of the vehicle, as in the prior art.

- the crossing of the exchangers HTS, LTS and pre- anodic causes the vaporization of water.
- the water vapor then passes through the exchanger 70 heated by the burner, then feeds the reformer 60.
- the cooling of the RAS HP 50 exchanger by the water used in the reformer 60 makes it possible to add 3 to 7 kW of heat to the charge of the cooling circuit of the vehicle, and thus to lighten the heat load to be discharged to the outside. by the latter.
- the recovery, thanks to the RAS HP 50 exchanger, of a portion of the thermal energy necessary for the vaporization and heating of the water makes it possible to take up less thermal energy at the level of the catalytic burner 72.
- 5 kW contribution to the RAS heat exchanger HP 50 allows for example to reduce by 5 kW the heating power taken from the hot gases leaving the catalytic burner 72 and intended for heating the steam.
- the temperature of these gases when they enter the turbine 44 is thus increased, which advantageously increases the mechanical energy recovery in the turbine from 1 to 2 kW.
- This increase in the recovery of mechanical energy at the turbine 44 increases the compression of the HP compressor 38 and reduce that of the compressor BP 36.
- the power consumption of the compressors is reduced and the amount of electricity available for traction of the vehicle advantageously increased by about 1 to 2 kW.
- the overall efficiency of the generator increases from 0.5 to 1%.
- Each of these exchangers 40 and 50 is cooled by crossing a flow of water, then joining, as in the configuration of Figure 5, the HTS exchangers
- the water flowing through the RAS BP 40 or RAS HP 50 exchangers dissociated from the vehicle cooling circuit is preferably recycled water, from the anodic, cathodic and pre-condensers. - Anodic, then stored in a tank At the outlet of this tank, the temperature is typically about 20 0 C, but can, erv function of the conditions of rolling, reach 60 0 C.
- the present invention n ' is not limited to the embodiment described and shown provided by way of illustrative and non-limiting example. The different variants could for example be combined.
