Abstract
The present invention provides fuel cell system to supply liquid fuel and air to a stack to thus cause reaction, thereby generating rated power. The fuel cell system includes a liquid fuel supply system, and an air-supply system. An air-supply rate being a volume of air supplied from the air-supply system per unit time, the air-supply rate of the air is set to a first air-supply rate upon start-up. The first air-supply rate is higher than the air-supply rate during the rated power generation.
Claims29
A fuel cell system configured to supply liquid fuel and air to a stack to cause reaction, thereby generating rated power, comprising:
- a liquid fuel supply system;
- and
- an air-supply system, wherein
- an air-supply rate being a volume of air supplied from the air-supply system per unit time, the air-supply rate of the air is set to a first air-supply rate upon start-up, and
- the first air-supply rate is higher than an air-supply rate during rated power generation.
