A closed loop type fuel cell system is provided including a recirculating unit that recirculates hydrogen and oxygen discharged from a main fuel cell into the main fuel cell and a reproducing unit that removes water produced in operation of the main fuel cell and impurities contained in the circulated hydrogen and oxygen. Further, a closed loop type fuel cell is provided that makes it possible to generate electricity by using a main fuel cell and purify water and impurities by allowing a side of a recirculating unit to selectively communicate with a side of a reproducing unit. Further, a closed loop type fuel cell is provided that is precluded by being damaged by precluding reduction of efficiency of electric generation of a main fuel cell by selectively replacing a sacrifice fuel cell in a reproducing unit.

Closed loop type fuel cell system

An open type fuel cell system is provided including a recirculating unit that recirculates hydrogen discharged from a main fuel cell into the main fuel cell and a reproducing unit that removes water and impurities produced in operation of the main fuel cell. The open type fuel cell system is adapted so that it does not discharge hydrogen supplied to a main fuel cell into the atmosphere.
