CONDENSED WATER EXHAUST DEVICE FOR FUEL CELL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a condensed water exhaust device for a fuel cell which prevents entering of condensed water when hydrogen is recirculated to a recirculation blower and a fuel cell and can be applied to a sedan type fuel cell vehicle.

SOLUTION: The condensed water exhaust device for the fuel cell includes: a drain tank which is installed in a hydrogen exhaust line and has an inlet port and an exhaust port formed at both ends; a drain unit which is installed in the tank so that condensed water may be separated by gravity from hydrogen coming through the inlet port of the drain tank and drained downward and has many drain holes; and a drain pump which is connected to the drain tank so as to discharge the condensed water drained through the drain holes of the drain unit. The drain tank has a cylinder shape having a relatively long length compared to the diameter, and is installed in horizontal direction to the hydrogen exhaust line.
