[0101] figure 1 It is a schematic configuration diagram of the fuel cell system of the first embodiment. figure 2 is true figure 1 The shown perspective view showing the vicinity of the gas-liquid separator and the ion exchange resin component of the fuel system is schematically shown so that the inside can be seen. image 3 yes figure 2 An enlarged cross-sectional view of the ion exchange resin component shown.

[0102] In addition, in the first embodiment, as the discharge passage through which the fluid discharged from the fuel cell flows, the circulation passage arranged in the hydrogen gas circulation system will be described as an example.

[0103] figure 1 The fuel cell 100 of the fuel cell system 1 shown in the first embodiment has a built-in structure including a plurality of unit cells in which MEAs and separators are stacked. The plates form flow paths for supplying fuel gas (hydrogen gas) to the fuel electrode (anode) and oxidizing gas (oxygen, usually air) ...

[0126] Next, a fuel cell system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0127] Figure 6 It is a sectional view showing the vicinity of a gas-liquid separator and an ion exchange resin member arranged in the fuel cell system of the second embodiment. Figure 7 is along Figure 6 Sectional view taken along line VII-VII shown. Figure 8 is along Figure 6 Sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII shown. Figure 9 It is a schematic diagram showing the state where fluid flows into the ion exchange resin member.

Abstract

An ion-exchange resin member (20) as an impurity remover for removing impurities mixed in a fluid (F), which is discharged from a fuel cell (100), is provided in a discharge path in which the fluid (F) passes, and on the upstream side of the ion-exchange resin member (20) is provided a dispersion means for causing the fluid (F) to disperse and flow into an entrance side surface (21) of the ion-exchange resin member (20). Further, a gas discharge section and a liquid discharge section are arranged in the downstream of a fluid exit of the ion-exchange resin member (20). Also, a liquid movement restriction means for restricting a liquid in the fluid, discharged from the fluid exist, from moving to the gas discharge section is provided between at least either the gas discharge section or the liquid discharge section and the ion-exchange resin member (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fuel cell system, and more particularly, to a fuel cell system in which an impurity remover for removing impurities mixed in the fluid is arranged in a discharge passage through which a fluid discharged from a fuel cell flows. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in a fuel cell system including a fuel cell, it has been impossible to use all the supplied hydrogen for the cell reaction. Therefore, a circulation system is adopted to return the exhausted unreacted hydrogen to the fuel cell for effective use, and a gas-liquid separator is provided to separate the exhaust gas discharged from the fuel cell from the battery reaction of the fuel cell. Water is removed from the gas-liquid mixed fluid of generated water (generated water). [0003] Here, the gas and water flowing through the above-mentioned hydrogen gas circulation system contain impurities eluted from the fuel cell and system piping components, etc., a...
