Title: Pure water tank apparatus and fuel cell system using pure water tank apparatus
Inventor: YAMADA TAKAHIRO
IPC: H01M8/10
Filed: 2003-01-07
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pure water tank apparatus capable of immediately defrosting ice by effectively transmitting heat of a heater to the ice, when the stored water is frozen into ice.  <P>SOLUTION: A movable heater 8 is movably arranged in a water storage tank 1. The external peripheral wall of a water storage part 3 of the water storage tank 1 is formed as double structure of an inner wall 5 and an outer wall 6 and an antifreeze solution 7 is filled therebetween. When the pure water 2 stored in the water storage tank 1 is frozen into ice 12, the ice 12 is held between the movable heater 8 and the inner wall 5 to transmit the heat from the heater built in the movable heater 8 to the ice 12 to defrost the ice 12. As the ice 12 becomes smaller due to defrosting, the movable heater 8 is moved accordingly to reduce the space between the movable heater 8 and the inner wall 5 in the moving direction side, so that the ice 12 which is not yet defrosted always abuts the movable heater 8.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
