FUEL CELL SYSTEM AND FUEL CELL VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel cell system and a fuel cell vehicle capable of shortening the starting time and reducing the energy required to make starting by performing reforming of the fuel without using water vapor. SOLUTION: A reforming reactor (ATR) 2 reforms a propane fuel using air (oxygen) and carbon dioxide (CO2 ), and produces a reformed gas containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The body 3 of a solid oxide fuel cell has an air electrode 4 supplied with the air and a fuel electrode 5 supplied with the reformed gas. A carbon dioxide collector 6 collects carbon dioxide selectively from the gas exhausted from the fuel electrode 5, while a pump 7 feeds by pressure the carbon dioxide collected by the collector 6 back to the reforming reactor 2.
