Abstract
An air cleaner for a fuel cell system includes a housing, a first filter, and a second filter. The first filter is arranged inside the housing and collects dust contained in air. The second filter is arranged side by side with the first filter in an air flowing direction inside the housing and adsorbs impure gas contained in air. The first filter includes a filtering member, which has nonwoven fabric and filter paper adhered to the nonwoven fabric. The filter paper is located on a downstream side in the air flowing direction of the nonwoven fabric and has a higher packing density than the nonwoven fabric. The second filter includes a base member having a honeycomb structure with through-holes and adsorbent, which is provided on inner surfaces of the through-holes and adsorbs the impure gas.
