Alternatively, an inert gas such as nitrogen was supplied to the oxidizing gas supply system, and the system was shut down after cleaning out any fuel remaining in the system. This is because when fuel is injected into the fuel scum chamber of a fuel cell stack and oxidizing gas is injected into the oxidation scum chamber, a level difference of approximately 1 VO) SL occurs between the fuel electrode and the oxidation electrode. This is because bamboo is known to have an adverse effect on the catalyst supported on the electrode. However, in this method, it is necessary to newly install an inert gas storage M, a container, and its supply system, and there is a problem that the gas structure becomes multiple. It is considered as a material that does not deteriorate the characteristics of the fuel cell! It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for shutting down a phosphoric acid fuel cell, which is extremely simple to construct.
