An arrangement of intake and exhaust system components in a fuel cell powered vehicle makes it easier to install those components on a vehicle body. The arrangement also improves power generating efficiency, and eases maintenance. The arrangement, which includes a fuel cell, intake system components such as an air cleaner, compressor, intercooler, and humidifier, and exhaust system components including an exhaust pipe which exhausts emission gas from the fuel cell through an exhaust port, is such that the intake system components and the exhaust system components are both located on one side of the fuel cell, for example behind the fuel cell. The air cleaner, compressor, intercooler, humidifier and fuel cell may be substantially linearly sequentially arranged, to reduce air flow resistance. The pipes between the air cleaner and the compressor, and between the intercooler and the humidifier are short.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the arrangement of fuel cell air intake and exhaust system components in a fuel cell powered vehicle, wherein the vehicle is provided with an air cleaner for taking in and filtering ambient air and a compressor for compressing the filtered air and producing reactive gases machine. Background technique [0002] In recent years, fuel cell-driven vehicles have been developed in which electric power generated by a fuel cell system is supplied to an electric motor, and wheels of the vehicle are driven by the electric motor. In this fuel cell system, electric power is generated by a chemical reaction between hydrogen as a fuel gas and oxygen as an active gas in a fuel cell stack (hereinafter simply referred to as "fuel cell"). [0003] In this system, although the fuel gas is stored in the fuel cylinder at high pressure, active gas must be generated by sucking in ambient air and compressing the ambient air to make it high-pr...
