A fuel cell system is proposed which is provided with a CO oxidizer having
a compact agitator executing uniform mixing. The fuel cell system is
provided with a reformer (2) performing reformate reactions to produce a
hydrogen-rich reformate gas containing CO, a CO oxidizer (1) reducing the
CO concentration in the reformate gas produced in the reformer (2), and a
fuel cell performing power generation using reformate gas with a reduced
CO concentration from the CO oxidizer. The CO oxidizer is provided with a
CO removal catalyst (6) promoting oxidizing of CO. An oxidizing agent
inlet (5) and an agitator (4) are provided upstream of the CO removal
catalyst (6). The oxidizing agent inlet (5) supplies oxidizing agent to
the reformate gas and the agitator (4) has a plurality of curved passages
(8) having at least two curves.
