Title:
FUEL CELL SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/009567
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a fuel cell system which is capable of reducing the supply amount of air supplied to a cell stack, while maintaining the power generation performance of the cell stack. This fuel cell system makes a fuel cell start power generation by supplying hydrogen to an anode electrode, while supplying air to a cathode electrode. This fuel cell system supplies a first supply amount of air to the cathode electrode (S41) in cases where the temperature of a thermal catalyst is less than the threshold temperature (S43: NO) in a state in which the fuel cell is generating power. This fuel cell system decreases the air supplied to the cathode electrode in stages to a second supply amount that is smaller than the first supply amount (S45) in cases where the temperature of the thermal catalyst is not less than the threshold temperature (S43: YES) in a state in which the fuel cell is generating power. This fuel cell system continuously supplies the second supply mount of air to the cathode electrode (S49) in cases where the supply amount of air to the cathode electrode falls to the second supply amount.
