Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a gas/liquid separator for a fuel cell for which vapour of liquid fuel such as methanol is not included in gas discharged from the liquid fuel cell. CONSTITUTION:Recovered fuel discharged from a fuel cell is a mixed phase current of methanol, carbon dioxide gas and methanol vapour. Cooling plates 4 having pores are disposed in layers at an upper part of the gas/liquid separator 1 where the recovered fuel is stored, so methanol vapour is condensed here to be recovered. Carbon dioxide gas only is discharged from a water repellent gas/liquid separating filter 6 at the uppermost part of the gas/liquid separator 1.

As shown in this reaction equation, what is discharged from the fuel electrode side of the cell stack of a liquid fuel cell is carbon dioxide gas produced in this reaction and unreacted methanol from the fuel chamber of the cell stack. It is discharged. Conventionally, in order to discharge the gas discharged from a liquid fuel cell, a discharge port was simply provided and the gas was discharged directly as it was (see, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-245868).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, it is known that, for example, in a liquid fuel cell that uses methanol as the liquid fuel, its reaction activity is exhibited at an operating temperature of about 50 to 60°C. ing. By the way, since the boiling point of methanol is just around this operating temperature, what is discharged from the fuel chamber of the methanol fuel cell is an unreacted aqueous methanol solution, carbon dioxide gas, and methanol vapor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gas-liquid separator for a liquid fuel cell, in which the discharged gas does not contain vapor of liquid fuel such as methanol fuel.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a circuit diagram of a liquid fuel system in which the gas-liquid separator of the present invention is combined with a cell stack that is a liquid fuel cell. Based on the circuit diagram of FIG. 3 and FIGS. 1 and 2, the operation of the gas-liquid separator 1 of the present invention will be explained in relation to the entire fuel cell system. Methanol fuel from the fuel tank is supplied to the fuel chamber of the cell stack by driving the pump. On the other hand, air drawn from the atmosphere by a blower is supplied to the air chamber of the cell stack. In the fuel chamber, the reaction of formula (1) occurs, and carbon dioxide gas generated by this reaction and unreacted methanol are discharged. However, since the operating temperature of the cell stack is near the boiling point of methanol, usually 50 to 60°C, some unreacted methanol in the discharged fluid becomes methanol vapor. Therefore, what is discharged from the fuel chamber becomes a mixed phase flow of liquid phase and gas phase. This multiphase flow is supplied to the recovered fuel supply port 3 at the bottom of the gas-liquid separator 1. The power for supplying this recovered fuel to the gas-liquid separator is based on the circulation supply power of the pump for supplying fuel from the gas-liquid separator 1 to the cell stack.

Methanol fuel discharged and recovered from the fuel chamber is stored in the gas-liquid separator 1, and a portion of the fuel is discharged from the fuel discharge port 2 and supplied from a separately provided fuel tank. It is combined with fuel and supplied again to the fuel chamber of the cell stack by a pump. In addition, in the recovered fuel made of the multiphase flow supplied to the gas-liquid separator 1, the carbon dioxide gas and methanol vapor contained therein rise above the liquid surface and pass through the small holes 8 of the cooling plate 4. These gases are cooled and the methanol vapor condenses into droplets that fall and coalesce onto the fuel liquid stored below. Therefore, methanol vapor does not reach the water-repellent gas-liquid separation filter 6 located at the top of the gas-liquid separator 1. Furthermore, the carbon dioxide reaches this water-repellent gas-liquid separation filter 6, passes through this membrane, and is released to the outside. Furthermore, the heat taken from the methanol vapor is released to the outside from the radiation fins.

On the other hand, a fan blower sucks air from the atmosphere and supplies it to the air chamber of the cell stack. The reaction at the air electrode consumes oxygen in the air, and the reaction produces water, so air and water are discharged from the air chamber. The discharged air and water are then separated into water and air by a condenser, the air is discharged into the atmosphere, and the water is combined with the fuel and supplied to the fuel chamber of the fuel tank by a pump.
