Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell of a solid polymer type that generates power by using a hydrogen-containing gas as a fuel gas, a reformer that generates the fuel gas by reforming ammonia, and a supply amount ratio control unit that controls a supply amount ratio of oxygen and ammonia to be supplied the reformer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A fuel cell system, comprising: a solid polymer fuel cell that generates power by using a hydrogen-containing gas as a fuel gas; a reformer that generates the fuel gas by reforming ammonia; a supply amount ratio control unit that is programmed to control a supply amount ratio of oxygen and ammonia to be supplied to the reformer; and a wetness state detection unit that detects a wetness state of the fuel cell, wherein the supply amount ratio con…
