A device for preventing excessive increase of an internal pressure of a rolling assembly, the rolling assembly having a rotation axis and comprising a wheel and a tire, the tire being mounted onto the wheel creating an inner cavity surrounded by a wheel internal surface and a tire internal surface, comprising:
- a cold spot placed in the inner cavity of the rolling assembly for condensing vapor contained in a gas filled in the inner cavity;
- a storage mean for capturing and keeping condensed vapor;
- and
- a heat exchanging mean attached to the cold spot.
A device for preventing excessive increase of an internal pressure of a rolling assembly, the rolling assembly having a rotation axis and comprising a wheel and a tire, the tire being mounted onto the wheel creating an inner cavity surrounded by a wheel internal surface and a tire internal surface, comprising:
- a cold spot placed in the inner cavity of the rolling assembly for condensing vapor contained in a gas filled in the inner cavity;
- and
- a storage mean for capturing and keeping condensed vapor,
- wherein the wheel comprises a heat conductive portion surrounded by a heat insulating portion, and
- wherein the device is affixed onto the wheel internal surface corresponding to the heat conductive portion.
A device for preventing excessive increase of an internal pressure of a rolling assembly, the rolling assembly having a rotation axis and comprising a wheel and a tire, the tire being mounted onto the wheel creating an inner cavity surrounded by a wheel internal surface and a tire internal surface, comprising:
- a cold spot placed in the inner cavity of the rolling assembly for condensing vapor contained in a gas filled in the inner cavity;
- and
- a storage mean for capturing and keeping condensed vapor,
- wherein the device is affixed onto the wheel internal surface,
- wherein the rolling assembly further comprises a tank filled via a compressed gas affixed onto the wheel, and
- wherein the tank comprises a mean to blow the compressed gas to a portion of the wheel corresponding to a position on the wheel internal surface where the device is affixed.
