    Abstract: A gas engine heat pump and a method of operating the same are provided. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the gas engine heat pump includes: an engine for burning a mixture of air and fuel; an exhaust gas compressor for compressing exhaust gases coming from the engine; a buffer tank for storing the exhaust gases compressed by the exhaust gas compressor; an exhaust gas valve disposed between the buffer tank and an intake manifold of the engine; an exhaust gas spray nozzle for spraying the exhaust gases stored in the buffer tank into a cylinder of the engine; an exhaust gas sensor for acquiring information on the exhaust gases coming from the engine; and a controller, wherein the controller controls the operation of at least one of the exhaust gas valve and the exhaust gas spray nozzle, based on the information on the exhaust gases acquired by the exhaust gas sensor. Other various embodiments are possible.

    Abstract: A fuel cell apparatus may include a stack, a stack air blower configured to supply external air to the stack, a humidifier configured to extract moisture contained in exhaust air and to supply the extracted moisture to external air supplied to the stack, a first bypass channel configured to allow exhaust air to bypass the humidifier, a first three-way valve controlled to adjust the amount of exhaust air that bypasses the humidifier, and a humidity sensor configured to sense the humidity of external air. The fuel cell apparatus may also include a second bypass channel configured to allow external air to bypass the humidifier, a second three-way valve controlled to adjust the amount of external air that bypasses the humidifier, and a controller configured to control the first three-way valve and the second three-way valve depending on the sensed humidity value of the external air.
