A fuel cell system includes a first heating structure that increases an
internal temperature of the stack by passing exhaust gas of the process
burner through the stack; and a second heating structure that increases
the internal temperature of the stack by passing heated cooling water
through the stack after the cooling water is heated by heat exchange with
the exhaust gas of the process burner. Accordingly, when rapid heating of
a stack is necessary like during a start up operation, a time required
for the fuel cell system to reach a normal operation can be greatly
reduced since the stack can be simultaneously heated using high
temperature exhaust gas and heated cooling water.
