<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the maintenance cost of a fuel cell with an electrode including ionomer. <P>SOLUTION: A maintenance method for a fuel cell comprises: a step S100 of inspecting detection of a maximum output of the fuel cell during periodic inspection (first maximum output inspection step); a step S120 of performing thermal treatment for the fuel cell (thermal treatment step) when the maximum output W of the fuel cell is less than or equal to 60(%) of a specified value Wmax in the first maximum output inspection step (step S110: YES); a step S130 of inspecting detection of a maximum output of the fuel cell which passed the thermal treatment step (second maximum output inspection step); and a step S140 of determining whether the maximum output of the fuel cell in the second maximum output inspection step is greater than 60(%) of the specified value Wmax. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
