Abstract
A control unit for a pressure container system comprising at least one pressure container with a pressure container valve designed to conduct fuel from the pressure container into a removal line for supplying an energy converter. The control unit is designed to determine that a fueling procedure of the pressure container is occurring or has occurred. In response thereto, the control unit is additionally designed to cause the pressure container valve to open in a pulsed manner temporally prior to a removal request for fuel for operating the energy converter so that the pressure in the removal line approximates the pressure in the pressure container.
Claims21
A control unit for a pressure container system comprising at least one pressure container including a pressure container valve designed to conduct fuel from the pressure container into a removal line for supplying an energy converter, wherein the control unit is configured:
- to determine that a fueling procedure of the pressure container is occurring or has occurred;
- and
- in response thereto, to cause the pressure container valve to open temporally prior to a removal request for fuel for operating the energy converter so that a pressure in the removal line approximates a pressure in the pressure container.
A method for operating a pressure container system comprising at least one pressure container having a pressure container valve designed to conduct fuel from the pressure container into a removal line for supplying an energy converter, the method comprising:
- determining that a fueling procedure of the pressure container is occurring or has occurred;
- and
- in response thereto, causing the pressure container valve to open in a pulse-based manner temporally prior to a removal request for fuel for operating the energy converter so that the pressure in the removal line approximates the pressure in the pressure container.
