Abstract
A fuel cell case containing a fuel cell stack includes a side face that has an opening for ventilation; a frame body that is located outside of the case along the periphery of the opening; and a louver that is fixed to inside of the frame body. The louver has a plurality of blades arranged to be separated from one another. The fuel cell case also has a projection that is protruded outward of the case in a predetermined range including at least a region located on a gas blow direction side of the louver in an inner peripheral portion of the frame body. This configuration reduces the likelihood that an elongated material such as wire comes into contact with a high-voltage component relevant to the fuel cell inside of the case.
