摘要： A fuel cell system enables time required for purging to be reduced without a major increase in discharge gas concentration at a time of purging. It comprises a fuel cell; a fuel gas supply path for supplying the fuel gas to an anode; an oxidizing gas supply path for supplying an oxidizing gas to a cathode; a fuel gas circulating path for returning an unreacted fuel gas to an anode inlet side; a dilution box for diluting the fuel gas by the oxidizing gas and for discharging it to outside; and a fuel gas discharge path connecting the fuel gas circulating path and a dilution box discharge gas inlet. A drain valve, a purge valve and an air discharge valve are provided, opening areas of which are different from one another. The drain valve with a smallest opening area is initially opened.

The apparatus has: a compressor 2 that supplies pressurized air to a cathode electrode of a fuel cell 1; a hydrogen supply device 30 that supplies hydrogen to an anode electrode of the fuel cell 1; a control device 10 that regulates the pressure of the cathode electrode by controlling the compressor 2 according to an operating state of the fuel cell 1; and a regulator 5 that is applied with the air pressure of the cathode electrode as a reference pressure, and regulates the supply pressure to the anode electrode based on this air pressure. Moreover there is provided a pressure regulator 39 that is capable of regulating the reference pressure that is applied to the regulator 5, by discharging air from an air flow passage for the air pressure that is applied to the regulator 5.
