FLUID SEPARATOR AND FUEL CELL SYSTEM WITH A LIQUID SEPARATOR

Abstract: a liquid separator for separating a liquid from a fluid flow includes a housing, a flow-conducting region arranged inside the housing and including an inner tube and an outer tube adjoining the inner tube, the inner tube being arranged downstream of the outer tube in a flow direction, a fluid conduit connected to the flow-conducting region and having a first diameter, the fluid conduit including a swirl generator for generating a swirl of the fluid flow, a separation region arranged at a radial outer side of the inner tube and the outer tube, a fluid outlet connected to the separation region and extending at a slant to an axial direction, and a flow-calmed region arranged between the separation region and the fluid outlet and including a flow-calming element for calming the fluid flow.
