Abstract
A tank assembly includes a tank, at least one pressure relief valve, at least one heat transmission path, and at least one heat transmission element. The at least one pressure relief valve is configured to allow a pressure relief of the tank when a temperature threshold value at the pressure relief valve is exceeded. The heat transmission path and the pressure relief valve are connected via the at least one heat transmission element. The heat transmission element is changeable with respect to the heat transmission between the heat transmission path and the pressure relief valve.

A tank assembly comprising:
- a tank;
- at least one pressure relief valve which is configured to allow a pressure relief of the tank when a temperature threshold value at the pressure relief valve is exceeded;
- at least one heat transmission path;
- and
- a heat transmission element, by means of which the heat transmission path and the pressure relief valve are connected, wherein
- the heat transmission element is changeable, in two opposite directions, with respect to the heat transmission, between the heat transmission path and the pressure relief valve, wherein
- the heat transmission element has a respective protrusion and a respective recess, and
- dimensions of the protrusion and recess change depending on the temperature difference present over the heat transmission element.
A tank assembly comprising:
- a tank;
- at least one pressure relief valve which is configured to allow a pressure relief of the tank when a temperature threshold value at the pressure relief valve is exceeded;
- at least one heat transmission path;
- and
- at least one heat transmission element, by means of which the heat transmission path and the pressure relief valve are connected, wherein
- the heat transmission element is changeable, with respect to the heat transmission, between the heat transmission path and the pressure relief valve, and
- additional heat transmission paths each have additional heat transmission elements,
- the additional heat transmission elements are changeable with respect to heat transmission within the respective heat transmission path,
- the at least one heat transmission element has a respective protrusion and a respective recess, and
- dimensions of the protrusion and recess change depending on the temperature difference present over the heat transmission element.
