Title:
FUEL CELL SYSTEM AND ITS OPERATION STOP METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/077904
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A fuel cell system (1) includes a fuel cell (10), a hydrogen gas supply pipe system
(3) for supplying a fuel gas to the fuel cell (10), and an injector (35) for adjusting
the pressure of the upstream side of the hydrogen gas pipe system (3) so as to supply
the hydrogen gas to the downstream side. The fuel cell system (1) further includes
an internal channel communicating the upstream side and the downstream side
of the injector (35) and a valve body (65) movably arranged in the internal channel
for switching the channel opening area in a plurality of stages according to the
movement position. Upon system stop, at least the water around the valve body
(65) of the injector (35) is reduced. With this configuration, the water around
the valve body as a movable portion in the injector is reduced upon system stop
accordingly, even when the fuel cell system is exposed to a low temperature environment,
it is possible to suppress fixation of the valve body due to freezing of water in
the injector.
