Appeal No. 95-3362
Application 08/009,200
value for the generator and a heat quantity recoverable from the
heat engine by the heat load and a calculating means which, in
response to too small a load value being detected from an
external electrical power load and the heat quantity recoverable
from the heat engine by the heat load being less than a
predetermined value, calculates, based upon the stored
relationship, the electric power to be consumed by the heat
generating means so that the sum of heat quantities recoverable
by the heat load from the heat engine and the heat generating
means is equal to the predetermined value as recited in
Appellant’s claim 1. Appellant further argues that Aasen fails
to teach a heat generating means powered by the fuel cell for
supplying heat to the heat load and controlling means including a
storing means for storing information indicating a relation
between a load value for the fuel cell and a heat quantity
recoverable from the fuel cell by the heat load and a calculating
means which, in response to too small a load value being detected
from an external electrical power load and the heat quantity
recoverable from the fuel cell by the heat load being less than a
predetermined valve, calculates, based upon the stored
relationship, the electric power to be consumed by the heat
generating means so that the sum of heat quantities recoverable
