Abstract:
1. A gas-liquid separating device comprising: a main body in which an internal space is formed, and in which an injecting hole, a discharging hole, and a drain hole which reach the internal space are respectively formed; an electric osmosis material which is housed inside the internal space, and delimits the internal space into a first region and a second region; a first electrode which is joined to the electric osmosis material on a first region side; and a second electrode which is joined to the electric osmosis material on a second region side, wherein the injecting hole and the discharging hole are formed in the main body so as to reach the first region, wherein the drain hole is formed in the main body so as to reach the second region, and wherein gas including moisture vapor is injected to the first region from the injecting hole, water which is obtained by condensing the moisture vapor in the first region is caused to electrically osmose through the electric osmosis material from the first region to the second region by applying voltage in between the first electrode and the second electrode, gas which is obtained by removing the moisture vapor from the gas including the moisture vapor is discharged from the discharging hole, and the water in the second region which is obtained by the condensing is discharged from the drain hole.
