<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell system efficiently supplying air to a fuel cell in an air compressor supplying air to a fuel cell vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: The fuel cell system is equipped with the fuel cell 11, a compressor 17 supplying air to the fuel cell 11, and a flowmeter 18 arranged in an air passage 15 through which air supplied to the compressor 17 flows. The fuel cell system is also equipped with a bypass passage 14 detouring the flowmeter 18, a shutting valve 13 opening and closing the bypass passage 14, and a control means in which when an air flow rate supplied from the compressor 17 to the fuel cell 11 is lower than the specified value Qth1, the shutting valve 13 is closed, when it is higher, the shutting valve 13 is opened, and when lower than the specified value Qth1, the number of revolution of the compressor 17 is controlled based on the air flow rate detected with the flowmeter 18, and when higher than the specified value Qth1, the number of revolution of the compressor 17 is controlled based on the air flow rate different from the air flow rate detected with the flowmeter 18. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
