Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress accumulation of produced water in an enclosure housing a fuel cell stack.SOLUTION: A fuel cell system 20 comprises a fuel cell stack 22 that receives an anode gas and a cathode gas to generate electric power, an enclosure 21 housing the fuel cell stack 22, a drain passage 37 for discharging the cathode gas and produced water W produced by the power generation by the fuel cell stack 22 from inside of the enclosure 21, and a pressure regulator 41 that is provided in the drain passage 37. The enclosure 21 has a drain port 25 communicating between the inside of the enclosure 21 and the drain passage 37. The fuel cell system 20 has a reservoir 83 that is located below the drain port 25 in a gravity direction Z and that can store the produced water W from an upstream flow passage 38 inside. The produced water W stored in the reservoir 83 can be drained to the outside of the reservoir 83 and the drain passage 37 by the drainage mechanism 84.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 (Grant)
