Abstract:
1. A fuel cell module comprising: a casing; a fuel cell stack that is formed in the casing by stacking a plurality of unit cells that generate electricity using an oxidant gas and a fuel gas; and an oxidant gas distributing member that is formed in the casing and disposed at a side surface, that extends in a stack direction of the unit cells, of the fuel cell stack that extends in a direction from one end to another end of each of the unit cells, and that supplies the oxidant gas for use for electricity generation of the unit cells to the another end of each unit cell after supplying the oxidant gas through the oxidant gas distributing member in the direction of the unit cells from the one end to the another end; wherein the fuel cell stack includes two end portions in the stack direction and a remaining portion defined between the two end portions, and the oxidant gas distributing member includes a heat exchange restraint portion provided over a predetermined region that restrains heat exchange between the unit cells and the oxidant gas in at least one of the two end portions more than the heat exchange between the remaining portion and the oxidant gas.
