Abstract:
1. A fuel cell system comprising: a fuel cell module for generating electrical energy by electrochemical reactions of a fuel gas and an oxygen-containing gas; a combustor for raising temperature of the fuel cell module; a fuel gas supply apparatus for supplying the fuel gas to the fuel cell module; an oxygen-containing gas supply apparatus for supplying the oxygen-containing gas to the fuel cell module; a water supply apparatus for supplying water to the fuel cell module; a power converter for converting direct current electrical energy generated in the fuel cell module to electrical energy according to requirements specification; a control device for controlling the amount of electrical energy generated in the fuel cell module; and a casing containing the fuel cell module, the combustor, the fuel gas supply apparatus, the oxygen-containing gas supply apparatus, the water supply apparatus, the power converter, and the control device, wherein the casing is formed of a first case unit storing a fluid supply section where the fuel gas supply apparatus, the oxygen-containing gas supply apparatus, and the water supply apparatus are disposed, a second case unit storing a module section where the fuel cell module and the combustor are disposed, and a third case unit storing an electrical equipment section where the power converter and the control device are disposed; the second case unit is interposed between the first case unit and the third case unit; the first case unit, the second case unit and the third case unit are independently movable relative to each other; and the module section, the fluid supply section and the electrical equipment section are independently movable relative to each other.
