A hydrogen purge control apparatus includes a fuel cell stack from which
hydrogen is purged as necessary, a purged hydrogen dilution device which
is disposed downstream of the fuel cell stack, and which has a chamber
formed therein, a first inlet for purged hydrogen, a second inlet for
air, and an outlet for diluted hydrogen, a regulator which is disposed
between the fuel cell stack and the first inlet, and which is provided
for regulating an amount of the purged hydrogen flowing into the purged
hydrogen dilution device, and a control unit having a hydrogen
concentration estimating section that is configured to estimate the
hydrogen concentration at the outlet of the purged hydrogen dilution
device based on an operating state of the fuel cell stack. The regulator
is operated by the control unit depending on the hydrogen concentration
estimated by the hydrogen concentration estimating section.
