Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus system comprises an electronic apparatus including a heating member, and a fuel cell apparatus including a electromotive section configured to generate electricity by a chemical reaction, a fuel tank, a circulation system including a fuel channel and an air channel, and a gas-liquid separator. The gas-liquid separator is arranged between a flow-out end of the electromotive section and the fuel tank in the fuel channel, configured to separate a gas-liquid two-phase fluid discharged from the anode to a liquid and gas, and is thermally coupled to the heating member to be heated by the heat of the heating member.
