Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020148010A1] The present invention relates to a fuel cell system (10), comprising at least one fuel cell (14), a hydrogen store (26), in which hydrogen is stored under positive pressure, and which is connected to an anode compartment (18) of the fuel cell (14) via a hydrogen feed line (22), and an anode circuit (58), by means of which unused hydrogen at an outlet (50) of the anode compartment (18) can be recirculated into an inlet (42) of the anode compartment (18). At least one electrically driven recirculation blower (62) is provided between the outlet (50) and the inlet (42) of the anode compartment (18), by means of which blower the unused hydrogen can be fed to the inlet (42) of the anode compartment (18), and at least some of the hydrogen fed to the anode compartment (18) from the hydrogen store (26) can be introduced into at least one gas bearing (70) of the electrically driven recirculation blower (62), and the gas bearing (70) can thus be statically supportive.
