<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell which makes it possible to detect various abnormalities that invite the decline of power generation ability at a local level in an early stage and promptly specify an abnormality cause and take measures. <P>SOLUTION: The fuel cell is provided with a cell of the fuel cell for generating power by the reaction of fuel and an oxidant, the fuel cell has a structure wherein a plurality of temperature sensors 601 are disposed inside the cell of the fuel cell, and a temperature corresponding to power generation conditions at a plurality of parts inside the cell of the fuel cell is detected by the plurality of temperature sensors. At the time, the disposition relation of at least two parts of the temperature sensors disposed inside the cell of the fuel cell can be the relation of the upstream and downstream of the route of the fuel supplied to the cell of the fuel cell or the relation of long and short distances from the take-in port of the oxidant in the cell of the fuel cell, or the relation of the upstream and downstream of the discharge route of water generated inside the cell of the fuel cell. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
