PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell system having excellent safety and improved efficiency, and capable of being continuously operated.SOLUTION: A fuel cell system comprises: a fuel cell 3 which generates power with hydrogen as fuel; a hydrogen storage container 9 which stores a hydrogen storage alloy and supplies hydrogen to the fuel cell 31 by the hydrogen storage alloy; a secondary battery 31 serving as an auxiliary power supply; a control device 14 which controls the system; and an exhaust heat passage 10 which is connected to an outside space and in which a member which generates exhaust heat is heat-transferably arranged. An introduction path 21 for air to be supplied to the fuel cell 3 is arranged in the exhaust heat passage 10 so as to increase a temperature of the air to be introduced into the fuel cell 3. Preferably, a cooling fan 12 is provided which introduces outside air from the outside of a machine and blows the air to the fuel cell 3, and a ventilation flue is provided so that at least a part of the blast sent by the cooling fan 12 comes into contact with the hydrogen storage container 9. The fuel cell system is also configured so that a part of the blast is introduced into the exhaust heat passage. |
