Blade Structure, Water Gas Separator and Fuel Cell

Abstract

A blade structure for a water gas separator of a fuel cell includes (i) a cylindrical body, (ii) a plurality of blades adapted to separate moisture from gas in an air flow, the plurality of blades extending independently and separately from an outer surface of the cylindrical body outwardly and in a separation relationship between at least two adjacent blades outside an area of the cylindrical body, and (iii) a retaining structure formed on the blade that allows the blade structure to be retained in a water gas separator. The blade structure of the water gas separator of the fuel cell is simplified, more convenient for processing and manufacturing, less costly to manufacture, and in some examples the press-fit installation of the existing blade structure is removed, making installation of the blade structure in the water gas separator easier and more stable.
