<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To materialize a gas-liquid separator for a fuel cell vehicle which prevents water adhering to the inner surface of a main body from being discharged from an outlet pipe by inducing the water to flow toward a drain pipe in gas-liquid separation. <P>SOLUTION: In the gas-liquid separator, a cylindrical body part 10 with its upper and lower ends closed, an inlet pipe 11 formed in the tangent direction in the vicinity of the cylindrical upper part of the body part 10, an outlet pipe 12 formed in the middle of the roof part 10b of the body part 10 to protrude toward the inner/outer parts of the body part 10, and the drain pipe 13 formed in the lower part of the body part 10 are provided, and liquid-mixed gas introduced from the inlet pipe 11 is separated into gas and liquid by centrifugal force. A water inducing means for inducing the water separated from the liquid- mixed gas spirally downward is formed in the inside part of the body part 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
