Intake structure in fuel cell powered vehicle, and motorcycle with fuel cell mounted thereon

An intake structure in a fuel cell powered vehicle, comprising:

• a fuel cell for generating electric power supplied to a motor serving as a drive source for said vehicle, using air and hydrogen as fuels;
• a supercharger for compressing the outside air and outputting said compressed air;
• and
• a humidifier for humidifying said air compressed by said supercharger, supplying said compressed and humidified air to said fuel cell, separating water vapor contained in an off-gas discharged from said fuel cell and humidifying the air newly supplied to said fuel cell,
• wherein said supercharger is disposed in a periphery of and adjacently to said humidifier, and
• further comprising:
• a bypass passage for connecting an output side of said supercharger and said fuel cell to each other while bypassing said humidifier;
• and
• a bypass valve for opening and closing said bypass passage,
• wherein said bypass valve is disposed on an outside relative to a straight line connecting between said supercharger and said humidifier, and is disposed in the vicinity of said supercharger and said humidifier.

• wherein said supercharger is disposed rearwardly of the fuel cell and in a periphery of and adjacently to said humidifier, and
• wherein said compressed and humidified air flows from the supercharger to a forward side of said fuel cell,
• wherein said supercharger is disposed in a position that is higher in the vehicle and further toward a rear of the vehicle than each of the humidifier and the fuel cell.
