Zusammenfassung:Hydrogen generation assemblies, components thereof, and fuel cell systems containing the same. In some embodiments, the hydrogen generation assembly includes a heater assembly having separate startup and primary burner assemblies that utilize different fuels. In some embodiments, the heating assembly is adapted to utilize a volume of liquid fuel to startup the hydrogen generation assembly, while in other embodiments a gaseous fuel is used. In some embodiments, the fuel used during start up includes at least 25 vol % water. In some embodiments, the fuel cell system has a rated power output in the range of 100-1000 watts. In some embodiments, the hydrogen generation assembly is a portable system.
