US 2019/0198895 A1 · FUEL CELL SYSTEM

Abstract

A fuel cell system includes: a fuel cell; an anode off-gas discharge path through which an anode off-gas exhausted from an anode of the fuel cell is discharged; a heating medium circulation path through which a heating medium that recovers heat generated in the fuel cell is circulated; a heat exchanger disposed in the heating medium circulation path; an electric power converter that converts the electric power output from the fuel cell; a case that houses the electric power converter; a first air feeder that supplies air to the case; a housing that houses the fuel cell, the case, and the first air feeder; and an air discharge path through which the air having passed through the case is discharged to outside of the housing. A downstream end of the anode off-gas discharge path is connected to the air discharge path.

Dependent claims

A fuel cell system comprising:

a fuel cell that generates and outputs electric power using a fuel gas supplied to an anode and an oxidant gas supplied to a cathode;
an anode off-gas discharge path through which an anode off-gas exhausted from the anode of the fuel cell is discharged;
an electric power converter that converts the electric power output from the fuel cell;
a case that houses the electric power converter;
a first air feeder that supplies air to the case;
a housing that houses the fuel cell, the case, and the first air feeder;
and
an air discharge path through which the air having passed through the case is discharged to outside of the housing,
wherein a downstream end of the anode off-gas discharge path is connected to the air discharge path.
