Abstract
The present invention provides a coolant demineralizer for a fuel cell vehicle, which removes ions released from coolant of a fuel cell stack. In preferred embodiments, the present invention provides a coolant demineralizer configured to reduce the occurrence of differential pressure due to an ion resin layer such that coolant can smoothly flow through a filter member, thereby increasing the effect of filtering ions and improving the efficiency of use of ion resin.
Claims11
A coolant demineralizer for a fuel cell vehicle, the coolant demineralizer comprising:
- a housing including an inlet port and an outlet port;
- and
- a filter member, in which an ion resin is filled, including an inlet formed at one end of the filter member and connected to the inlet port such that coolant is introduced therethrough and an outlet formed at a side of the filter member such that the coolant passing through the ion resin is discharged from the side in a radial direction,
- wherein the coolant demineralizer further comprises a flow chamber connected to the outlet port of the housing and formed around the periphery of the filter member in the housing such that the coolant is discharged from the filter member through the outlet in a radial direction and then discharged from the flow chamber to the outlet port.
A coolant demineralizer for a fuel cell vehicle, the coolant demineralizer comprising:
- a housing comprising an inlet port and an outlet port;
- a filter member comprising an inlet and an outlet, wherein the filter member is filled with an ion resin;
- and
- a flow chamber.
