  • Air intake structure and fuel cell vehicle
    Patent number: 10096847
    Abstract: An air intake structure for a fuel cell vehicle includes an air inlet port, an air passage, and a water separation passage. The air inlet port is provided in a front space of the fuel cell vehicle in which a fuel cell is accommodated. The air passage is connected to the air inlet port such that air flows from the air inlet port to the fuel cell through the air passage. The air passage has a branch point and a first minimum passage sectional area located downstream with respect to the branch point. The water separation passage has a downstream opening in the front space and extending from the branch point to the downstream opening below the air passage to separate water from the air. The water separation passage has a second minimum passage sectional area which is smaller than the first minimum passage sectional area.
