<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell system which can reduce size of the whole system while effectively utilizing energy. <P>SOLUTION: The fuel cell system includes: a reforming part 21 generating hydrogen-containing gas by reforming a raw material; a burner 21a supplying heat needed for reforming in the reforming part 21; a fuel cell generating electric power by using hydrogen-containing gas; an electric power adjusting mechanism 70 having electronic components 71b, 72b and adjusting electric power generated with the fuel cell; and an oxygen-containing gas supply mechanism 30 for supplying oxygen-containing gas to which heat is transferred from the electronic components to the burner. By supplying air heated with the electric power adjusting mechanism 70 to the burner 21a, since additional installation of a pump or a heat exchanger is unnecessary, energy is saved and the electric power adjusting mechanism 70 can be cooled. Installation of a fan or a radiator fin for cooling the electric power adjusting mechanism 70 is made unnecessary. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
