Fuel Cell System

摘要

A fuel cell system comprises: a fuel container (110) for storing fuel liquefied with pressure; a reformer (140) for generating hydrogen from the fuel through a catalyst reaction based on heat energy; an electric generator (150) for generating electricity by transforming energy of an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen into electric energy; a condenser (175) for condensing water produced in the electric generator; and a heat exchanger (174) passing through the condenser for cooling the condenser by latent heat of the fuel. With this configuration, cooling water cooled by latent heat of a fuel container is employed to cool the condenser without using a separate cooler. Furthermore, air is mixed with butane fuel without using a separate power unit, so that it is possible to achieve a more compact and highly efficient fuel cell.
