Abstract
A fuel cell apparatus including a reaction unit for performing a chemical reaction, at least one fan for providing an airflow, and an airflow guiding device is provided. The airflow guiding device is connected to the fan and the reaction unit. The airflow guiding device includes an airflow rectification segment and a first airflow separation segment. The airflow rectification segment is connected to the fan and has one flow channel. The first airflow separation segment is connected to the airflow rectification segment and disposed between the airflow rectification segment and the reaction unit. A number of flow channels inside the first airflow separation segment is N1, where N1 is a positive integer and N1>1.
