Fuel cell system for motor vehicle, comprises fuel cell (2) for power generation from oxidator- and fuel gas with an anode inlet (4), an anode outlet (5), a cathode inlet (6), a cathode outlet (7) and with supply terminal, and a reformer (3) for fuel generation from oxidator gas and fuel with catalyst, a fuel inlet, oxidator inlet and with fuel outlet. A fuel gas line is connected with the fuel inlet and the anode inlet. An oxidator guiding device is used for providing the fuel cell and the reformer. A fuel-guiding device is used for providing the reformer with fuel. The fuel cell system for motor vehicle, comprises fuel cell (2) for power generation from oxidator- and fuel gas with an anode inlet (4), an anode outlet (5), a cathode inlet (6), a cathode outlet (7) and with supply terminal, and a reformer (3) for fuel generation from oxidator gas and fuel with catalyst, a fuel inlet, oxidator inlet and with fuel outlet. A fuel gas line is connected with the fuel inlet and the anode inlet. An oxidator guiding device is used for providing the fuel cell and the reformer. A fuel-guiding device is used for providing the reformer with fuel. Sensors are used for determining the temperature of the fuel cell and the reformer. A control system is used for operating the oxidator- and fuel-guiding device. The control system is arranged and carries out a regeneration process for the regeneration of the catalyst in the power down of the fuel cell system. The control system operates the reformer as a burner during the regeneration process. The control system reduces or stops the burner operation of the reformer during the regeneration process, when the temperature of the reformer lies above a pre-determined reformer threshold temperature and/or increases or starts the burner operation of the reformer during the regeneration process, when the temperature of the fuel cell lies below the fuel cell threshold temperature and/or the temperature of the reformer lies below the reformer threshold temperature. An independent claim is included for a method for power down of a fuel cell system. |
