Abstract
A fuel cell system has a fuel cell for generating electricity by reacting a fuel gas with an oxidant gas and an exhaust flow passage for exhausting the fuel exhaust gas exhausted from a fuel electrodeof the fuel cell to the outside. The fuel cell system is equipped with a movable filter device disposed in the exhaust flow passage, so that by activating the movable filter device, water and foreign particles adhering to the filter are quickly scattered by rotational centrifugal force and vibration, thereby preventing the exhaust flow passage from being blocked by the clogging by water freeze and foreign particles and also reducing startup time.
