<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved fuel cell system in which liquid carrier storage of hydrogen can be utilized without requiring individual heat generation and hydrogen is discharged from a storage tank. <P>SOLUTION: The fuel cell system comprises a hydrogen storage system which stores and discharges hydrogen and a fuel cell which fluid-communicates with the hydrogen storage system in order to receive hydrogen discharged from the hydrogen storage system, and to react electrochemically with the hydrogen and anode exhausts having an oxidant to generate power. A catalyst burner fluid-communicates with the fuel cell in order to receive the anode exhausts and react catalytically with the anode exhausts which generate off-gas having a temperature higher (much higher) than the temperature of the anode exhausts. The heat from the off-gas is utilized in order to discharge hydrogen from the hydrogen storage system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
