Abstract
A compressor includes at least one cell that includes an electrolyte membrane, an anode located on one main surface of the electrolyte membrane, and a cathode located on the other main surface of the electrolyte membrane; a metallic anode separator located on the anode; a cathode separator located on the cathode; and a voltage application unit for applying a voltage between the anode and the cathode, wherein the compressor causes, by using the voltage applier to apply a voltage, a proton extracted from an anode fluid supplied to the anode to move to the cathode and generates compressed hydrogen, and the compressor includes a controller for causing the voltage application unit to apply the voltage such that a voltage applied per unit cell is lower than a corrosion potential of the metallic anode separator.
