Abstract
Removing fluorine elements from circulating water that cools a fuel cell power generation system increases the durability of metal piping etc. of a water circulation path of this system. The fuel cell power generation system is provided with: a fuel cell main body 4, a water circulation path 8, and a fluoride absorber 6 provided in at least a portion of the water circulation path 8. The fluoride absorber 6 absorbs fluorine elements from water flowing through the water circulation path 8.
Claims8
A fuel cell system comprising:
- a fuel cell main body;
- a water circulation path for circulating water through the fuel cell main body, and
- a fluoride absorber provided within the water circulation path, the fluoride absorber removing fluorine elements from the water circulating through the water circulation path.
A cartridge-type fluoride absorber used in a fuel cell system, the cartridge-type fluoride absorber comprising:
- a fluoride absorbing member, and
- a cartridge case housing the fluoride absorbing member, the cartridge case having an inflow connection hole to be connected with an upstream side of a water circulation path of the fuel cell system, and an outflow connection hole to be connected with a downstream side of the water circulation path of the fuel cell system.
