Abstract
The invention relates to a system for supplying a gaseous fuel that comprises a low temperature tank for receiving the fuel in its liquid aggregate state achieved by cooling and comprises a rail that is fluidically connected to at least one injector device for discharging gaseous fuel into a combustion space. The system is characterized in that it has a pressure store that is configured to receive gaseous fuel and that is fluidically connectable to both the low temperature tank and the rail to buffer fuel coming from the low temperature tank and to supply it to the rail.
Claims19
A system for supplying a gaseous fuel, comprising:
- a tank for storing fuel to be supplied;
- and
- a rail that is fluidically connected to at least one injector device for discharging the gaseous fuel into a fuel space, wherein
- a pressure store that is configured to receive the gaseous fuel and that is fluidically connectable to both the tank and the rail to buffer fuel coming from a low temperature tank and to supply it to the rail;
- and
- a compressor arranged upstream of the pressure store to supply gaseous fuel increased in pressure to the pressure store, and
- wherein the rail is fluidically connectable to a suction side of the compressor via a fluid return line to supply gaseous fuel not required in the rail to the pressure store.
