<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell device capable of recovering time-dependent output drop of a fuel cell even when an air forcible supply unit is omitted. <P>SOLUTION: This fuel cell device 10 includes: a fuel cell 12 including a fuel electrode 12 which contains an anode catalyst, is arranged on one side of an electrolyte membrane 12a, and is supplied with a liquid fuel, and from which a gas produced by a chemical reaction facilitated by the anode catalyst is discharged, and an oxidizer electrode 12c which contains a cathode catalyst, is arranged on the other side of the electrolyte membrane, and is supplied with air, and generating power; and a control unit 42 including a load control part controlling a load imposed on the fuel cell. The load control part increases the load at least either in the case where the power generated by the fuel cell is dropped relative to a predetermined reference value, or at a predetermined time interval, and stops the increase of the load after passage of a predetermined period from the start of the increase of the load. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
