Title:
FUEL CELL SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1997/027637
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
When a polyelectrolyte type fuel cell which is actuated at about 60 �C is used, heating with an exhaust gas is difficult. Therefore, a polyelectrolyte type fuel cell (PEM) is used as a fuel cell main body and a metallic hydrogen storing container storing hydrogen is connected to the PEM with a hydrogen pipe through a humidifying device for humidifying the electrolytic film of the PEM. The PEM and hydrogen storing container are connected to each other through a heat conductor composed of a copper plate. Because of the copper plate, the heat generated from the PEM is transmitted to the hydrogen storing container and raises the temperature and pressure in the container. Therefore, hydrogen is supplied to the PEM in an excellent state.
