Abstract
An air supply system for a fuel cell is disclosed, in which a compression chamber (17) of an air supply mechanism (GS) is adapted to supply air to a fuel cell (FC). A liquefaction unit (14) acting as a water supply mechanism (WS) supplies water to the air supply mechanism (GS) to seal and cool the compression chamber (17). The liquefaction chamber (14) separates water from the exhaust gas discharged from the fuel cell (FC) and supplies the water to the air supply mechanism (GS). The air supply mechanism (GS) and the liquefaction unit (14) are integrated with each other.
