Abstract

A fuel cell system is disclosed. More specifically, the fuel cell system may include a stack that includes an electrical generation assembly of a fuel cell, an air supply unit that supplies air to a cathode of the fuel cell, a humidifier that humidifies exhaust air that is exhausted from the cathode and supply air that is supplied from the air supply unit, a hydrogen supply unit that supplies the anode of the fuel cell with hydrogen, and a water trap that traps condensate that is generated by the anode and exhausts it. In particular, the supply air is supplied to an upstream side of the humidifier and the condensate that is trapped in the water trap is supplied to an upstream side of the humidifier.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-0123216 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on November 23, 2011, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to fuel cell systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to fuel cell systems and methods of operating the same that enhance fuel cell stack performance. Background technique [0004] A fuel cell is a power generation system that converts the chemical energy of fuel into electrical energy by chemically reacting with oxygen or other oxidizing agents. Typically, hydrogen is the most common fuel, but hydrocarbons such as natural gas and alcohols like methanol are sometimes used as alternative fuels. [0005] A fuel cell system typically includes a cell stack that includes a plurality of individu...
