Abstract
A series type air supply system for fuel cell-powered vehicles wherein a low speed air supplier and a high speed air supplier are connected in a series for performance of a multi-staged pressurization to variably operate the air suppliers of high efficiency according to an output value of a fuel cell stack and to improve the work efficiency of a fuel cell system under all driving modes of fuel cell-powered vehicles. Air is pressurized by a 2-staged compression of the low and high speed air suppliers under an accelerated driving mode to reduce the work load of compression and to increase the overall efficiency of the fuel cell system.
