<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily supply hydrogen to a hydrogen cylinder B of an electric wheelchair P and an electric cart D. <P>SOLUTION: The device for producing hydrogen is incorporated into a home fuel cell system M, wherein the system M comprises a desulfurizer 11, reformer 12, PEFC (polymer electrolyte fuel cell) stack 13, inverter 14, heat exchanger 15, hot water tank 16, and backup power supply 17. A CO<SB>2</SB>remover 22 and a hydrogen (H<SB>2</SB>) stocker 23 are connected via a three-way valve 21 to the home fuel cell system M; a required number of sub-valves 25 are connected via a main valve 24 to the hydrogen stocker 23; and the hydrogen stocker 23 is always and appropriately charged with a required amount of hydrogen d by driving the system M. When the hydrogen cylinder B is emptied by use of the electric wheelchair or the like, the hydrogen cylinder B is detached from the wheelchair or the like and connected via the sub-valve to the hydrogen stocker 23 so as to be charged with hydrogen d. The hydrogen charge is extremely convenient because charging can be carried out at each home having the home fuel cell system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
