Zusammenfassung:A fuel cell system comprising: a fuel cell unit (1) having an air inlet (2), a fuel inlet (3) and an electrical energy outlet (4) and a fuel cell exhaust outlet; a turbo-compressor unit (6) to convert air from an air supply to compressed inlet air for the fuel cell unit, the turbo-compressor unit comprising a turbine (6a) and a compressor (6b) connected to a common rotatable shaft (6c), means for obtaining conditioned air (7) exhausted from an enclosed space and directing the conditioned exhaust air to the turbine of turbo-compressor unit such that the conditioned exhaust air is expanded by the turbine causing rotation of the shaft and corresponding rotation of the compressor, means for providing air from the air supply to the compressor to be compressed and output from the compressor unit and provided as compressed inlet air (2) to the air inlet of the fuel cell unit.
