Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel cell system capable of starting below freezing point without increasing the size of the diluter. The fuel cell systemcomprises an OCV purge execution unitreplacing gas retained in a fuel cellby supplying additional anode gas from a supply deviceto the fuel cellwhen starting up the fuel cell. In addition, the fuel cell systemcomprises a low temperature startup determination unitdetermining whether to perform low temperature startup or normal startup on the fuel cell. The OCV purge execution unitdecreases the pressure of additional anode gas supplied from the supply deviceand increases the total replacing amount of gas retained in the fuel cellin a case of performing low temperature startup, as compared with a case of performing normal startup.
