A delivery system for the delivery of a gaseous fuel such as for example
hydrogen, to a consumer, in particular to a fuel cell stack, wherein the
fuel comes from a source with a higher pressure level, the delivery
system comprising at least one mechanical pressure regulating valve which
has a valve member biased by means of a spring and which is designed to
regulate the fuel from the higher pressure level down to a lower pressure
level which serves as the feed pressure for a control valve, wherein the
control valve is connectable via a feed line to a consumer and determines
the mass flow of the fuel coming from the source which is supplied to the
consumer and wherein changes of the pressure prevailing at the consumer
side of the control valve arise with power changes of the consumer, is
characterized in that the said pressure prevailing at the consumer side
of the control valve, or a value proportional to the latter or
corresponding to it, can be supplied via a control line to the mechanical
pressure regulating valve to supplement the spring bias acting on the
valve member of the mechanical pressure regulating valve. In addition, a
fuel cell system and a method for delivering a gaseous fuel are claimed.
