摘要 |
<p>The invention concerns a separator (100, 200) for a liquid electrolyte regenerator of a fuel cell system. A helical fluid channel (100, 200, 300) formed on a helix (150) is arranged to conduct liquid and gas of a gas-liquid mixture and separate the liquid from the gas-liquid mixture. Preferably the helical channel (100, 200) is an enclosed channel or pipe (210) along which the gas-liquid mixture is constrained to travel, and the overall diameter (Dhelix) of the helical channel is close to twice the pipe diameter (Dpipe) of the helical channel along at least a portion of the helical channel. The helical channel can form part of a bulk gas-liquid separator, or a gas-liquid contactor and separator, or a condensing heat exchanger.</p> |
