PURPOSE:To reduce the consumption of an inactive gas and achieve economical operation of a fuel cell generation system by installing a mechanism for removing the fuel gas or the oxygen gas contaminating the inactive gas in the circulation path for the inactive gas. CONSTITUTION:An inactive gas in a cell installation tank 4 is circulated through a piping 9, a valve 10, an oxygen remover 11 and a fuel gas remover 12 before being either returned to a reservor tank 13 or discharged into a safe place through a valve 18. The oxygen remover 11 and the fuel gas remover 12 remove the oxygen and fuel gas which contaminate the inactive gas after leaking through the sealing areas between a battery 1 and manifolds 2a-2d. Therefore, the inactive gas can be safely reused. |
