PURPOSE:To obtain a thermally stable, compact power source system by using a heater to which electricity is supplied from a storage battery in starting, fuel waste heat from a cell, part of waste heat in steady load operation, and waste heat in a cell cooling line as a heat source for hydrogen dissociation. CONSTITUTION:A heater R1 to which electricity is supplied from a storage battery B in starting, fuel waste heat E2 of unreacted hydrogen and unreacted air exhausted from a cell, at least part of waste heat E2 in steady load operation, and waste heat E1 in a cell cooling line are used as the heat source for hydrogen dissociation of a hydrogen storage alloy incorporated in a hydrogen storage unit H. Waste heat exhausted to the outside of a system is decreased and that makes heat control of the system easy. A thermally stable, clean, compact portable power source system can be obtained. |
