PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize functional upgrade and to secure reliability and safety of vehicles by equipping a multi-purpose pressure vessel in the air supply system of an in-vehicle fuel cell. SOLUTION: The air supply system from an air compressor 12 is equipped with a pressure vessel 15 which is equipped with a plurality of air outlets with respective air outlet valves 16a to 16e through which compressed air is arranged to be distributed as required to various points not only to the fuel cell 1 but to the points such as for wind shield cleaning, driving road surface cleaning, tire pressure supply and so forth. By equipping oxygen generators 24 and 25 and a nitrogen generator 23, oxygen is supplied to the fuel cell 1 and a reformer 7 and nitrogen is used for tire pressure and the like. With this system, compressed air is realized to be used in versatile purposes with simple structure and a comfortable in-vehicle atmosphere is secured with reduced start-up noise of the compressor. |
