<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drainage appliance for a fuel-cell system for suppressing malfunction due to a deposited material piece engaged into an electromagnetic valve body. <P>SOLUTION: The drainage appliance 40 for the fuel-cell system performs vapor-liquid separation to generated water contained in hydrogen circulated and supplied to a fuel cell, to discharge the generated water out of the system. The appliance includes an accumulating vessel 54 having a form of a bottomed cylinder for temporarily accumulating the generated water separated from the hydrogen until a determined discharging period of time, a rotating shaft 56 rotatably formed inside the accumulating vessel 54, and a ripping and fracturing member 60 fixed on the rotating shaft 56, by sliding on an inner wall surface 62 of the accumulating vessel 54 to rip off the deposited material on the inner wall surface 62 when the rotating shaft 56 is rotated, and to fracture the ripped material to pieces. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
