FUEL CELL EQUIPPED WITH CATALYST BURNER SEALING MEMBER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell (100) which is equipped with a catalyst burner (138) in place of a seal member, and a related method.

SOLUTION: The fuel cell is equipped with the catalyst burner (138) so that the catalyst burner (138) may contact the fuel (106), after the fuel (106) has passed the route of going through the desired electrode (110). Thereby, the fuel (106) is catalytically burned by the catalyst burner (138) before the fuel (106) contacts an electrode (112) which is not desired.
