Abstract
The present disclosure provides a fuel cell system that allows greater convenience and smaller size to be achieved. The fuel cell system of the disclosure comprises a fuel cell module and a liquid water discharge channel for discharge of liquid water in the fuel cell module. The fuel cell module comprises a battery stack, a reactive gas discharge manifold formed so that, during use of the fuel cell system, reactive gas flows from the lower end in the vertical direction to the upper end in the vertical direction, a reactive gas discharge outlet disposed so as to be located at the upper end of the reactive gas discharge manifold in the vertical direction, and a liquid water discharge outlet disposed so as to be located at the lower end of the reactive gas discharge manifold in the vertical direction. The liquid water discharge channel is connected to the liquid water discharge outlet in such a manner that liquid water flows through its interior.
