摘要： A fuel cell system includes a controller that controls an amount of air flow to be supplied from an air blower included in an oxygen-containing gas supply to a cell stack to cause a power level (in amperes) of a fuel cell controllable by a power level regulator (power conditioner) and an air utilization to have an increase-control section in which the air utilization increases in accordance with an increase in the power level of the fuel cell and a decrease-control section in which the air utilization decreases in accordance with an increase in the power level. The air utilization is a ratio of an air amount used by the fuel cell for power generation to an oxygen-containing gas (air) amount supplied to the fuel cell.

摘要： A fuel cell module includes: a cell stack apparatus including a cell stack including an array of a plurality of fuel cells, a manifold which feeds a fuel gas to each of the fuel cells, and a reformer which reforms a raw fuel; an oxygen-containing gas introduction plate which feeds an oxygen-containing gas to each of the fuel cells; and a housing which houses the cell stack apparatus and the oxygen-containing gas introduction plate. The housing includes a box having an open side and a lid which closes the open side of the box, and the box has a length of the open side which is greater than a maximum length of a projected plane of the cell stack apparatus as viewed from a lateral side of the cell stack apparatus.
