A heat exchanger for a solid-oxide fuel cell assembly. A plurality of
parallel tubes conveys fuel cell stack exhaust gas from a first manifold
means to a second manifold means. The tubes are highly corrugated to
increase the wall area and decrease the wall thickness. The tubes are
disposed in a jacket through which is passed incoming air to be heated.
The tubes may be linear between two manifolds, or they may be curved such
that the first and second manifold functions are accommodated within a
single component.
