NOVELTY - The module has a first area (R1) where an exhaust gas combustor (52) and a start-up combustor (54) are provided. An annular second area (R2) is around the first area, where a reformer (46) and an evaporator (48) are provided. An annular third area (R3) is around the second area, where the heat exchanger (50) is provided. A condensed water recovery mechanism (117) is provided for recovering condensed water produced through the condensation of water vapor contained in combustion gas by flowing the condensed water through third, second and first area respectively.    USE - Fuel cell (FC) module for generating electricity in FC system by electrochemical reactions of fuel gas and oxygen -containing gas used in stationary and mobile application and in vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - Since first area is provided at centre, second area is provided around the first area, and third area is provided around the second area, heat waste and heat radiation are suppressed and thus the heat efficiency is achieved , and thermal self -sustaining operation is facilitated, and simple and compact structure is achieved in the entire fuel cell module. Since the condensed water recovery mechanism is provided, the condensed water produced through condensation of water vapor contained in combustion gas can flow through the third, second and first area respectively from low to high temperature, thus the rechange of the condensed water into vapor state is facilitated, and accordingly the condensed water does not stagnate in the peripheral equipment. Hence the condensed water is prevented from affecting the durability of the FC peripheral equipment much as possible and the recovered condensed water can be utilized as water vapor for reforming.
