A method for purifying a nonaqueous liquid substance includes: filling a cartridge container with a macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin in a water-wet state to obtain an ion exchange resin-filled cartridge filled with the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin before water content reduction; reducing a water content of the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin in the cartridge container until a water content (A) of the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin after water content reduction becomes 90 to 97% of a water content (B) of the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin in a saturated equilibrium state; an initial blowing step of allowing the nonaqueous liquid substance before being purified to pass inside the cartridge container filled with the macroporous or porous type ion exchange resin after water content reduction and discharging an initial blow effluent from inside of the cartridge container; and purification.

A thermal management system includes a sublimator that has a porous plate, a water feed line connected with the sublimator for delivering feed water to the porous plate, and an adsorbent bed in the water feed line. The sublimator is operable to freeze and sublime the feed water using the porous plate. The adsorbent bed is configured to substantially remove organic compounds from the feed water.

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.

An ion exchanger includes a case and an ion exchange resin. The case includes an inflow hole into which a refrigerant flows and an outflow hole out of which the refrigerant flows. The ion exchange resin is arranged in the case to remove ions from the refrigerant. The inflow hole and the outflow hole are located at a lower end of the case. The case accommodates a tube extending in a vertical direction and connecting to the outflow hole. The ion exchange resin is located between an inner wall of the case and an outer wall of the tube. The inflow hole is formed so that the refrigerant flows through the inflow hole into the case and evenly into the ion exchange resin from a lower end surface of the ion exchange resin.
