Disclosed is a delivery unit (3) for an anode circuit (9) of a fuel cell system (1) for delivering a gaseous medium, in particular hydrogen, from an anode region (38) of a fuel cell (2), said delivery unit (3) comprising at least one recirculation fan (8) and being at least indirectly fluidically connected to the outlet of the anode region (38) by means of at least one connection line (23) and being fluidically connected to the inlet of the anode region (38) by means of an additional connection line (25). According to the invention, in addition to the recirculation fan (8), the delivery unit (3) comprises a jet pump (4), a metering valve (6) and a separator (10) as other components, and the flow contours of the components (4, 6, 8, 10) for the gaseous medium are at least almost entirely arranged in a common housing (7).
A delivery unit (3) for an anode circuit (9) of a fuel cell system (1) for delivering a gaseous medium out of an anode region (38) of a fuel cell (2), wherein the delivery unit (3) comprises at least one recirculation blower (8), wherein the delivery unit (3) is at least indirectly fluidically connected by at least one connecting line (23) to the outlet of the anode region (38), and wherein the delivery unit (3) is fluidically connected by a further connecting line (25) to the inlet of the anode region (38), characterized in that the delivery unit (3) also comprises a jet pump (4), a dosing valve (6) and a separator (10) (8), wherein the flow contours of the jet pump (4), the dosing valve (6), the recirculation blower (8) and the separator (10) for the gaseous medium are arranged at least approximately entirely in a common housing (7).
