Abstract
A fuel cell system is equipped with a fuel cell for generating power by an electrochemical reaction of a fuel gas and an oxidizer gas, a fuel gas supply mechanism for supplying the fuel gas to the fuel cell, a supply amount adjustment mechanism for adjusting a supply amount of the fuel gas, a fuel gas flow passage for passing the fuel gas, a purge valve for purging a gas within the fuel gas flow passage outside, and a control mechanism for opening the purge valve when a stop request of the fuel cell is output, wherein when an activation request of the fuel cell is output, the control mechanism controls the supply amount adjustment mechanism so that a pressure within the fuel gas flow passage becomes smaller than a minimum pressure in a normal power generation and larger than an atmospheric pressure.
