Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell system. Background technique
[0002] When the external temperature is low, there is a problem that water generated inside the fuel cell system freezes after the fuel cell system stops, and piping, valves, and the like are damaged. In addition, in general, fuel cells are inferior in startability compared to other power sources, and especially at low temperatures, there is a problem that a desired voltage / current cannot be supplied and equipment cannot be started.
[0003] In view of such problems, the following proposals have been proposed: by performing scavenging treatment when the fuel cell system is stopped, the method of discharging the moisture retained inside the fuel cell to the outside (for example, refer to Patent Document 1); A method of preheating to improve the power generation efficiency of a fuel cell (for example, refer to Patent Document 2).
