Abstract
A fuel cell vehicle has a front compartment accommodating a hydrogen pump provided to a pipe through which fuel gas is supplied, and a gas-liquid separator that is fastened to the hydrogen pump and removes water from the fuel gas flowing through the pipe, the gas-liquid separator having an end portion on a backward side in a travelling direction arranged more on the backward side than an end portion of the hydrogen pump on the backward side in the travelling direction. A fastening portion, at which the hydrogen pump and the gas-liquid separator are fastened to each other, has a center of gravity CGLS shifted from a center of gravity CHP of the hydrogen pump in a width direction of the fuel cell vehicle, in the fuel cell vehicle as viewed in a vertical direction.
Claims6
A fuel cell vehicle equipped with a fuel cell, comprising:
- a hydrogen pump provided to a pipe through which fuel gas including hydrogen is supplied to an anode of the fuel cell in a front compartment separated from a cabin by a dash panel, and
- a gas-liquid separator in the front compartment configured to be fastened to the hydrogen pump and remove water from the fuel gas flowing through the pipe, the gas-liquid separator having an end portion on a backward side in a travelling direction of the fuel cell vehicle arranged more on the backward side than an end portion of the hydrogen pump on the backward side in the travelling direction, wherein
- a fastening portion, at which the hydrogen pump and the gas-liquid separator are fastened to each other, has a center of gravity shifted from a center of gravity of the hydrogen pump in a width direction of the fuel cell vehicle, in the fuel cell vehicle as viewed in a vertical direction.
