摘要:
When an ignition switch is turned off, a hydrogen supply valve is closed. Operation of a compressor continues, and an air supply valve and an air discharge valve are opened to supply the compressed air into a fuel cell through a hydrogen supply port. The scavenging process of removing the fuel gas and the water remaining in the fuel gas channel is performed through the air discharge valve, a drain valve, and a hydrogen purge valve. Then, all the valves connected to the fuel gas channel are closed. The pressure when the valves are closed, and the pressure when a short time has elapsed after closing the valves are detected by a pressure sensor. Based on the pressure difference, a failure due to the leakage in the fuel gas channel is detected.

A fuel cell system has a fuel cell having a cathode and an anode; a device for supplying an oxidant gas to the cathode; a device for supplying a fuel gas to the anode; a device for controlling a pressure of the oxidant gas in accordance with an operation state of the fuel cell; a regulator to which a pressure of the oxidant gas is applied as a signal pressure via a signal pressure line, wherein the regulator regulates a pressure of the fuel gas based on the signal pressure; and a device for scavenging the signal pressure line by using a scavenging gas when or after electric power generation is stopped. A device for controlling the signal pressure may be provided in the signal pressure line. Preferably, the scavenging gas has a pressure and a temperature higher than those of the oxidant gas supplied to the cathode.

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.

A reaction gas supply apparatus for a fuel cell is able to adapt to various kinds of operating states, and can provide improved responsiveness with respect to a required output. 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.
