Abstract:
1. A fuel cell system mounted to a vehicle serving as a moving body, comprising: a fuel cell which generates electric power by electrochemically reacting a hydrogen gas with an oxidation gas; odorant adsorbing portion, downstream of the fuel cell, which adsorbs an odorant included in an anode off-gas discharged from an anode side of the fuel cell by physical adsorption; reproduction portion which reproduces adsorption property of the odorant adsorbing portion by releasing the odorant adsorbed by the odorant adsorbing portion through adjustment of temperature of the odorant adsorbing portion; judgment portion which judges whether a state is suitable for reproduction of the adsorption property of the odorant adsorbing portion by the reproduction portion based on speed information of the vehicle; and inhibition portion which inhibits the reproduction of the adsorption property by the reproduction portion in a case where the judgment portion judges, based on the speed information of the vehicle, that the state is not suitable for the reproduction by the reproduction portion.
