Water separator with throttle element and fuel cell system with water separator

Abstract

A water separator including a flow-conducting interior, and a water outlet connected to the flow-conducting interior, the water outlet including a throttle element that is inserted in the water outlet and configured to conduct water flow into the throttle element. The throttle element includes a first channel section including a conical section tapering in a direction of the water flow into the first channel section, a constriction directly connected to an output of the first channel section, the constriction including a cylindrical section, and a cylindrical channel section directly connected to an output of the constriction, the cylindrical channel section having a cross-section that is larger than a cross-section of the constriction.
