    摘要: An ion exchange membrane has multiple layers of ionic polymers which each contain substantially different chemical compositions. i.e. varying side chain lengths, varying backbone chemistries or varying ionic functionality. Utilizing completely different chemistries has utility in many applications such as fuel cells where for example, one layer can help reduce fuel crossover through the membrane. Or one layer can impart substantial hydrophobicity to the electrode formulation. Or one layer can selectively diffuse a reactant while excluding others. Also, one chemistry may allow for impartation of significant mechanical properties or chemical resistance to another more ionically conductive ionomer. The ion exchange membrane may include at least two layers with substantially different chemical properties.

    摘要: An ion exchanger includes a housing, which includes an inlet and an outlet for a coolant and is open upwardly, and a cartridge mounted within the housing so as to be removable upwardly out of the housing. The cartridge includes a first case and a second case respectively located above and below the inlet and the outlet and capable of containing an ion exchange resin. The first case includes a first flow entrance, which is in fluid communication with the inlet of the housing, and a first flow exit, which is in fluid communication with the outlet of the housing. The second case includes a second flow entrance in fluid communication with the inlet of the housing and a second flow exit in fluid communication with the outlet of the housing.
