Hydrocarbon Fuel Reforming In a Fog Cooled Fuel Cell Power Plant Assembly, The power section of a phosphoric acid fuel cell power plant is cooled by injection of water droplets or fog into the anode gas stream exhaust wherein the water droplets are vaporized. The anode exhaust with the water vapor therein is then split with a portion thereof being directed to the burner in the catalytic reformer to be consumed by the reformer burner.
