An ion exchanger used in a cooling system of a fuel cell system, includes: a communicating tube portion including a first flow path which allows coolant introduced from one side to pass therethrough to the other side; a case portion which is provided to communicate with the communicating tube portion; and a storage body which is assembled to the case portion, has a second flow path in which a part of the coolant branches and flows from the communicating tube portion, and is merged with the communicating tube portion again, and stores an ion exchange resin in the second flow path, wherein: an assembled state of the storage body with respect to the case portion is changeable into a plurality of kinds; and a proportion of the coolant that flows to the second flow path is changeable by changing the assembled state of the storage body.

Ion exchanger

An ion exchanger for a cooling system of a fuel cell system includes: a communicating pipe part with the two ends thereof configured respectively to be connectable to predetermined piping arranged in the cooling system, and including a substantially linear shaped first flow path; and a storage case including a second flow path configured such that, when a part of the coolant introduced into the communicating pipe part branches from the coolant of the communicating pipe part and flows toward the second flow path, such partial coolant, after introduced into the second flow path, is allowed to flow therethrough and join again the remaining coolant of the communicating pipe part, while ion exchange resin is stored in the second flow path, wherein an introduction device for introducing the coolant into the second flow path is arranged in the inside of the communicating pipe part.
