Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, when the diluter is accommodated in the fuel cell case with the aforementioned height difference of tens of centimeters, the height of the case increases.
In addition, for the diluter, it is also necessary to maintain a large internal space for sufficient mixing and dilution, resulting in an increase in size. Therefore, when the fuel cell case is mounted under the bottom plate, accommodating the diluter in the case will prevent the case from High Dimension Barriers

Abstract

A fuel cell system which can encase a dilution device while keeping the height of a fuel cell case as low as possible by utilizing the lower space in the case effectively. A fuel cell system comprises a fuel cell stack generating power through an electrochemical reaction between a gas supplied to the anode side and a gas supplied to a cathode side, a dilution device for diluting an anode off gas discharged from the fuel cell stack with a cathode off gas and discharging the diluted gas, and a fuel cell case for encasing the fuel cell stack and the dilution device. In this fuel cell system, a lateral opening of the fuel cell case for passing an exhaust pipe extending to the exhaust downstream of the dilution device is arranged above the lowermost portion of the inner surface of the dilution device with respect to the gravitational direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fuel cell system, and more particularly to an exhaust device associated with a diluter that dilutes and exhausts anode off-gas exhausted from a fuel cell stack. Background technique [0002] In recent years, fuel cell stacks have been mounted on automobiles or vehicles because they have little impact on the environment. In a fuel cell stack, for example, a fuel gas such as hydrogen is supplied to the anode side of the fuel cell, and an oxygen-containing oxidizing gas such as air is supplied to the cathode side, and necessary power is extracted by an electrochemical reaction through an electrolyte membrane. [0003] The cathode off-gas when the oxidizing gas supplied to the cathode side is discharged from the fuel cell stack contains reaction product water generated by the electrochemical reaction. On the other hand, the anode off-gas when the fuel gas supplied to the anode side is discharged from the fuel cell stack ...
