Abstract
An electrolyte replenishing system for a laminated type fuel cell supplies an electrolyte to each cell block through an electrolyte replenishing valve from a replenishing line connected to an electrolyte replenishing throat of the fuel cell. A overflowing machanism is provided to the electrolyte replenishing throat of each cell block, so that the electrolyte pressure does not exceed a predetermined head pressure in each of the cell block. The excess electrolyte is collected in a lower exhausted electrolyte tank through an electrolyte exhausting valve. The exhausted and overflowed electrolyte collected in the exhausted electrolyte tank is returned to the replenishing line by means of a pump.
