摘要:
A fuel cell system comprises a humidifier which can humidify a fuel cell even when humidification has become insufficient at start-up of the fuel cell and during normal operation thereof. A water collecting apparatus which collects water in the exhaust gas of the fuel cell, and an auxiliary humidifier which humidifies the gas supply by using collected water from the water collecting apparatus, are provided separate to the water-permeable-type humidifier. The water collecting apparatus comprises a vapor/liquid separator and a collected water storage tank, and the auxiliary humidifier comprises a check valve, a collected water supply pump, an auxiliary humidification pipe, and an injector. The collected water in the collected water storage tank is transferred by a collected water supply pump, atomized by the injector, and supplied to the intake side of the fuel cell.

A method for warming up a fuel cell system comprising; a fuel cell which generates electric current due to an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, and which supplies the electric current to a load, an air supply pipe for supplying air to the fuel cell as an oxidant gas, an air exhaust pipe for discharging exhaust air from the fuel cell to an atmosphere, a compressor provided on either of air supply pipe and air exhaust pipe, which carries the air and a communication pipe which returns exhaust air to air supply pipe, and which communicates exhaust air pipe with air supply pipe to form a circulation cycle including compressor. The method of the present invention comprises: detecting a temperature of the fuel cell, and if the temperature of the fuel cell is lower than a first prescribed temperature, heating fuel cell by circulating the air, which has been heated by a heat generated due to adiabatic compression through compressor prior to supplying the electric current to the load from the fuel cell.

An apparatus for warming-up a fuel cell has means for returning an exhaust gas which returns the exhaust gas to the supply gas depending upon the warning-up conditions of the fuel cell at the time when the supply gas is supplied into the fuel cell and it is discharged as the exhaust gas after utilizing the supply gas in the fuel cell.

There are provided an operation determining unit which, when a touch panel is pressed, determines whether or not the press on the touch panel has been an operation on a soft key for designating one of the plurality of functions assigned to the one hard key, and a state transition unit which, when it is determined that the press corresponds to an operation on the soft key, shifts a function acceptability state of the one hard key. Thus, when the soft key corresponding to the hard key is pressed, the function acceptability state of the hard key is shifted to a correct state, even without actually operating one hard key.

A buffer driving capability control device is provided which can suppress occurrence of radiated noise due to a load driven by large driving power in the case where loads differing in driving power are connected to one terminal. The device includes an output buffer which can switch between the driving capability for driving a load requiring large driving power and the driving capability for driving a load requiring small driving power, and also includes a control period for driving the load requiring the large driving power and a control period for driving the load requiring the small driving power, and during the respective control periods, switches the driving capability of the output buffer to the ones suitable for the corresponding loads.

A stop method for a fuel cell system that includes a fuel cell unit in which hydrogen is supplied to an anode, and air is supplied to a cathode so as to generate electrical power via an electrochemical reaction. The stop method includes the steps of stopping supply of hydrogen to the anode, and supplying air to the anode so as to discharge water remaining at the anode.
