ABSTRACT:
In a fuel cell system10, a refrigerant channel70that circulates refrigerant is configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant and each of a fuel cell30, a hydrogen storage tank20having a hydrogen storage alloy, and a radiator50. The hydrogen storage alloy has a higher absorption temperature at which absorption and release become equilibrium under the predetermined hydrogen pressure than the temperature of the fuel cell30in a steady-state operation. The refrigerant after cooling the fuel cell carries the heat generated by hydrogen absorption to the hydrogen storage alloy during storing from the tank20and facilitates absorption of hydrogen.
