The present invention is directed to the provision of a solid electrolyte
fuel-cell device that achieves increased durability, increased power
generation efficiency, and easy utilization of heat, by making provisions
to apply flames over the entire surface of an anode layer formed on a
solid electrolyte substrate. Each individual fuel cell is constructed by
forming a cathode layer and an anode layer on opposite surfaces of a
plate-like solid electrolyte substrate. Power generation efficiency is
increased by making provisions to ensure that a plurality of flames
formed by burning a fuel supplied from a fuel supply pipe are applied
over the entire surface of the anode layer. When a coolant pipe is
provided in an interlaced fashion with the fuel supply pipe, not only can
the heating of the fuel supply pipe by the burning of the fuel be
suppressed, but also the waste heat can be utilized.
