Claims5
A boiler comprising:
- a water pipe;
- a heat generation body;
- a container including the heat generation body and the water pipe both being located inside the container;
- a fuel cell located outside the container and configured to generate power by reaction between hydrogen-based gas supplied to a fuel electrode and oxygen;
- and
- a heater located inside the container and configured to heat a reactant by means of the power generated by the fuel cell, wherein the water pipe is heated via convection, radiation and transmission by heat generated by the heat generation body under environment where the inside of the container is filled with hydrogen-based gas with higher specific heat than that of air.
