Abstract:
Fuel cell arrangement having an improved efficiency. The arrangement comprises one or more fuel cell units  110  and a methanation unit  200  and a control unit  300 . The fuel cell unit comprises a water inlet  111 , a hydrogen outlet  112  and an oxygen outlet  113 . The methanation unit comprises a catalyst  222 , a hydrogen inlet  213 , a carbon oxide inlet  214  having a first controllable valve  215  and a methane outlet  216 , wherein the hydrogen outlet of the first fuel cell unit is coupled to the hydrogen inlet of the methanation unit, and the methanation unit is adapted to convert hydrogen and carbon oxide into methane, wherein the control unit is adapted to control the first controllable valve so as to obtain an optimum converting process to convert hydrogen and carbon oxide into methane.

Claim (Index 19):
Fuel cell arrangement comprising\n a first fuel cell unit, a methanation unit and a control unit, wherein the first fuel cell unit comprises\n an active part for converting water into hydrogen and oxygen, \n a water inlet, \n a hydrogen outlet, \n an oxygen outlet, \n wherein the methanation unit comprises\n a catalyst, \n a hydrogen inlet, \n a carbon oxide inlet having a first controllable valve, \n a methane outlet, \n wherein the hydrogen outlet of the first fuel cell unit is coupled to the hydrogen inlet of the methanation unit, wherein the methanation unit is adapted to convert by the catalyst hydrogen and carbon oxide into methane, wherein the methanation unit is arranged beside the first fuel cell unit in a manner to allow a heat transfer from the methanation unit to the first fuel cell unit. wherein the control unit is adapted to control the first controllable valve so as to obtain an optimum converting process to convert hydrogen and carbon oxide into methane, wherein the methanation unit and the first fuel cell unit share a common wall, wherein the common wall allows a heat transfer between the methanation unit and the first fuel cell unit.
