Patent attributes
A fuel cell system capable of preventing reaction efficiency from being reduced although, the activity of an oxidation catalyst bed is deteriorated due to continuous operation. The fuel cell system includes a reformer which generates a fuel gas through a reforming reaction, a carbon monoxide purifier which includes a reactor main body having an inlet into which a reformed fuel gas is introduced and an outlet through which a purified fuel gas is discharged, and an oxidation catalyst bed that is filled in the reactor main body, and reduces a concentration of carbon monoxide contained in the fuel gas generated from the reformer, at least one electricity generator which is supplied with the fuel gas from the carbon monoxide purifier, and which generates electricity by means of a chemical reaction, and a catalyst supply which generates catalyst particles from material and supplying the catalyst particles to the oxidation catalyst bed.
