Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a fuel cell system and a method for controlling the fuel cell system, the fuel cell system comprising: a plurality of fuel cell units each having a fuel cell, a fuel cell cooling system, and a control unit for controlling the fuel cell, the fuel cell cooling system includes a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between a primary-side refrigerant and a secondary-side refrigerant flowing to the fuel cell, and a refrigerant pump that adjusts a flow rate of the secondary-side refrigerant. A cooling device; and a cooling system for supplying the primary-side refrigerant from the cooling device to each of the plurality of fuel cell units. When the operation of the fuel cell system is stopped, the cooling device adjusts the primary-side refrigerant to a temperature equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature and supplies the primary-side refrigerant to each of the plurality of fuel cell units. The control unit operates the refrigerant pump such that the secondary-side refrigerant flows through the heat exchanger.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a fuel cell system and a control method of the fuel cell system. Background technique [0002] In the fuel cell system, in order to improve the reliability of startup at a low temperature such as sub-freezing point, the following operation is performed. The temperature of the fuel cell is raised for a short time during operation (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2009-4243). [0003] However, in the warm-up operation by the self-heating of the fuel cell, the heat source is only the fuel cell itself, so it takes time for the temperature of the fuel cell to rise to an appropriate temperature. In particular, when a plurality of fuel cells are used, for example, as emergency power generators, rapid power supply at the start of use is required, and therefore, it is desired to shorten the time required for the warm-up operation before use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present disclosure can be ...
