Abstract
A pressure vessel system for a motor vehicle has at least one pressure vessel, to which an extraction line is connected. The extraction line has a connection point, to which a connection line leading to a consumer is connected. The connection point of the extraction line includes a first coupling part of a quick coupling, to which a second coupling part of the quick coupling, arranged on the connection line, is connected. The first coupling part has a non-return valve, which closes the extraction line when the second coupling part is decoupled.
Claims10
A pressure vessel system having at least one pressure vessel for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an extraction line that connects to the pressure vessel, wherein the extraction line has a connection point;
- a pressure reducing device along the extraction line upstream from the connection point and downstream from the pressure vessel;
- and
- a connection line that leads to a consumer, wherein the connection line connects to the connection point, wherein the consumer is an anode space of a fuel cell stack and the connection line is an anode supply line leading to an anode inlet of the fuel cell stack,
- a second connection line that leads to an extraction or supply device, wherein
- the connection point of the extraction line comprises a first coupling part of a quick coupling,
- a second coupling part of the quick coupling arranged on the connection line connects to the first coupling part,
- the first coupling part comprises a check valve which closes the extraction line when the second coupling part is uncoupled,
- the second coupling part comprises a check valve which closes the connection line when the first coupling part is uncoupled, and
- a third coupling part connected to the extraction or supply device by the second connection line is attachable to the first coupling part or the second coupling part.
