ABSTRACT:
A fuel cell stack has an air chamber to which is introduced compressed air that is produced by compressing the atmosphere with a compressor. Energy is recovered from exhaust discharged from the air chamber as it is expanded by an expander. The compressor and the expander are connected to each other via the air chamber of the fuel cell stack through piping. The pressure of the exhaust flowing through the piping is detected by a pressure sensor and, based on the detected pressure, a throttle valve controls a flow rate of the exhaust drawn into the expander.
