EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY INVERTER COOLING CONTROL SYSTEM AND EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY INVERTER COOLING CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently cool an external power supply inverter device installed in a trunk room in a fuel cell vehicle mounting therein fuel cells.SOLUTION: An external power supply inverter cooling system includes: an air intake port 155 provided in a trunk room 151 of a fuel cell vehicle 100 in which fuel cells 101 for generating electric power by a reaction between hydrogen gas and oxygen; a cooling fan 134 provided near a discharge part of a hydrogen tank 111 expanding and discharging compressed hydrogen gas, and introducing air surrounding the discharge part into the trunk room 151 via the air intake port 155; and a control device for driving the cooling fan if the electric power generated by the fuel cells 101 is supplied to an inverter device 200.
