Anode exhaust reservoir assembly

Abstract:

An anode exhaust assembly including a housing and a base member is provided. The base member supports the housing and includes a base reservoir having a channel reservoir defined between two walls and a purge outlet open to the channel reservoir. Each of the walls defines an opening fluidly connecting the reservoirs located at a base reservoir inner surface such that fluid accumulating on a housing inner surface collects in the base reservoir prior to entering the channel reservoir. A cone member may be secured to an inner surface of the housing and include at least one cone opening oriented within the housing to direct fluid from a housing cavity to the base reservoir and not to the channel reservoir.
