Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize the operation temperature of a fuel cell by forming a fuel cell accommodation tank with an outer tank having a heater in its circumference and a nitrogen supply pipe, and an inner tank, which is arranged inside the outer tank, whose upper side is opened and which has a nitrogen gas exhaust pipe. CONSTITUTION:A fuel cell accommodation tank is formed with an outer tank 3 having a heater 2 in its circumference and a nitrogen gas supply pipe 3a, and an inner tank 4, which is arranged inside the outer tank, whose upper part is opened and which has a nitrogen gas exhaust pipe 4a. A fuel cell 1 is accommodated in the inner tank 4. The fuel cell 1 is sealed with heated nitrogen gas. Thereby, the fuel cell accommodation tank by which the operation temperature of the fuel cell is stabilized can be obtained.

The present invention will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiments. An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. As shown in the figure, the fuel cell storage tank houses the battery body 1. In this embodiment, this storage tank has a heater 2 on its outer periphery and a nitrogen gas supply pipe 3a.
The inner tank 4 was arranged inside the outer tank 3 and had an open upper side and was provided with a nitrogen gas discharge pipe 4a. By doing this, the storage tank has a heater 2 on its outer periphery, and an outer tank 3 provided with a nitrogen gas supply pipe 3a.
The battery body 1 is disposed inside the outer tank 3 and is formed with an inner tank 4 which is open at the upper side and provided with a nitrogen gas discharge pipe 4a. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a fuel cell storage tank that is sealed by the above method and that makes it possible to stabilize the operating temperature of the fuel cell.

A heater 2'' such as an electric heater for heating is wound around its outer circumference, and a nitrogen gas supply pipe 3a is provided at the bottom of the heater 2''. Inside this outer tank 3, a nitrogen gas discharge pipe 4a is provided. and an inner tank 4 with an open top.By doing so, the nitrogen gas supplied during battery operation is routed from the nitrogen gas supply pipe 3a to the inner tank 4 and outside, as indicated by the arrow in the figure. The battery body 1 is sealed and the nitrogen gas is discharged through the gap between the tank 3 and the nitrogen gas exhaust pipe 4a.In this case, the nitrogen gas is heated by a heater 2 that is wound around the outer circumference of the outer tank 3. As a result, the battery main body 1 can continue to operate without lowering its temperature, the operating temperature of the battery can be stabilized, and the battery performance can be stabilized.
