Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a liquid separation device for separating a liquid and / or a liquid mist from a gas. Such separators are used, for example, to separate oil or oil mist from blow-by gases of internal combustion engines (crank casing gases, gases delivered into the cylinders in preparation for starting). Another area of application for liquid separators is the field of electrochemical cells, especially PEM fuel cells, especially those suitable for H 2 O temperature range -- specifically between 20 degrees Celsius and 160 degrees Celsius -- for fuel cells to work. Background technique
[0002] The power of such fuel cells is usually between a few watts and several kilowatts. Such PEM fuel cells (polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells) have a proton-permeable polymer membrane. Such membranes need to have a certain moisture content so that they do not dry out and thus lose their functionality. For this purpose, the supplied reaction gas is hu...
