A fuel cell system having a fuel cell consuming the hydrogen stored in the
high-pressure hydrogen tank as fuel gas, a hydrogen supply line
connecting the high-pressure hydrogen tank to the fuel cell, a primary
decompressing means provided on the hydrogen supply line, a secondary
decompressing means provided in the downstream side of the primary
decompressing means on the hydrogen supply line, a hydrogen storage alloy
tank saving a hydrogen storage alloy and thermal-exchangeably connected
to the fuel cell, a hydrogen pipe connected between the primary
decompressing means and the secondary decompressing means, and supplied
for hydrogen transfer between the hydrogen supply line and the hydrogen
storage alloy tank is provided, and a controlling means for introducing
the hydrogen of the first prescribed pressure into the hydrogen storage
alloy tank from the hydrogen supply line through the hydrogen pipe during
the warm-up of the fuel cell.
