<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell device that can efficiently restrain the temperature rise of an exterior case. <P>SOLUTION: The fuel cell device 1 is positioned vertically, such that its upper side is made into a module storage chamber 5 storing a fuel cell module 7, while its lower side is made into an auxiliary-machine storage chamber 6 storing auxiliary machines by a partition member 4. An exhaust port 8 is provided at the upper part of an exterior case 2, constituting the module storage chamber 5 so as to exhaust the air inside the module storage chamber 5. The partition member 4 is provided with an air circulation hole 9 so as to supply air inside the auxiliary-machine storage chamber 6 into the inside of the module storage chamber 5. An air flow path is provided, at least between the sidewalls of the exterior case 2 and the fuel cell module 7, in order to guide the air, flowing in through the air circulation hole 9, inside the auxiliary-machine storage chamber 6 upward, while circulating around the fuel cell module 7. Consequently, it is possible to efficiently lower the temperature inside the module storage chamber 5, while inhibiting the temperature rise in the exterior case 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
