Abstract

The invention concerns a solid electrolyte high-temperature fuel cell module (2) which is composed of a plurality of fuel cells (4) which are stacked on top of one another and to which an operating medium necessary for operating the fuel cells is fed. The heat generated in the fuel cells (4) during combustion is used to heat the operating medium before it is fed into the fuel cells (4).
