Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a power-generating stack; a fuel feeder for supplying fuel to an anode of the power-generating stack; an air feeder for supplying air to a cathode of the power-generating stack; and an gas-liquid separator for separating water from a gas-liquid mixture. The gas-liquid mixture includes water and water vapor produced at the cathode and gas passing through the cathode. The gas-liquid separator includes a water retainer. This water retainer holds water and water vapor, which is produced at the cathode, in the gas-liquid mixture.
