    摘要: In a polymer electrolyte membrane type fuel cell employing a high polymer ion exchange membrane as an electrolyte, a fuel cells stack is produced at a low cost by easily constituting flow passages for a fuel gas, an oxidizing agent gas and a cooling water which have been conventionally constituted by a cutting process being hard to process and hard to reduce a cost. The fuel gas passage, the oxidizing agent gas flow passage and the cooling water flow passage are constructed by a combination of a diffuser constituted by a conductive porous body or a corrugated plate and an elastic gasket, whereby a cutting process is not required, and a number of parts can be reduced and an operating performance can be improved by integrally forming the gasket with the separator, so that a cost can be reduced.

    摘要: A fuel cell device, wherein, after an output voltage from a main body of a fuel cell is converted using a converter, the relation between the resultant predetermined output voltage V 1 and an output voltage V 2 from a secondary battery is so set as to satisfy V 1>V 2. When, at the time of a sudden change of an external load, the output voltage V from the main body of the fuel cell becomes lower than a predetermined voltage V 3, an output to a charge controlling unit is stopped. When the output voltage V from the main body of the fuel cell is lowered even further and becomes lower than a predetermined voltage V 4, an output to an auxiliary device, which is necessary for driving the fuel cell device, is switched from the output from the converter to the output from the secondary battery.
