Fuel cell system and fuel supply unit used therein

摘要

A fuel cell system includes at least one electricity generator which generates electric energy through electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, a fuel supply unit which supplies fuel containing hydrogen to the electricity generator, and an oxygen source which supplies oxygen to the at least one electricity generator. The fuel supply unit comprises an outer tank defining an inner space, and an inner fuel storage tank with deformable walls which is provided in the inner space of the outer tank to store fuel. Fuel is discharged from the inner fuel storage tank by the deformation of the inner fuel storage tank by applying a compressive force to the inner space of the outer tank through the use of a biasing mechanism.
