Zusammenfassung:A burner system 10 comprises a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) 15, a partial reformer 20, an air preheater 25 and a heat energy recovery device 30. The reformer 20 is associated with the SOFC 15 and partially reforms fuel prior to introduction into the SOFC 15. The preheater 25 is associated with the SOFC 15 and preheats air for introduction into the reformer 20 and the SOFC 15. The heat energy recovery device 30 is associated with, and recovers heat energy from, the exhaust 36 of the SOFC 15.
