Abstract
A method for coordinating an evaporation process of hydrogen from a hydrogen tank of a motor vehicle by an assistance system includes initiating the evaporation process of hydrogen from the hydrogen tank of the motor vehicle into an area surrounding the motor vehicle by an electronic computing device of the assistance system in accordance with a hydrogen pressure in the hydrogen tank. Evaporation information regarding an additional motor vehicle having an additional hydrogen tank is received by a communication device of the assistance system. The evaporation process of hydrogen from the hydrogen tank of the motor vehicle is coordinated in accordance with the evaporation information regarding the additional motor vehicle.
Claims9
A method for coordinating an evaporation process (30) of hydrogen from a hydrogen tank (18) of a motor vehicle (14) by an assistance system (10), the method comprising the steps of:
- initiating the evaporation process (30) of hydrogen from the hydrogen tank (18) of the motor vehicle (14) into an area (40) surrounding the motor vehicle (14) by an electronic computing device (32) of the assistance system (10) in accordance with a hydrogen pressure in the hydrogen tank (18);
- receiving evaporation information (42) regarding an additional motor vehicle (16) having an additional hydrogen tank (22) by a communication device (34) of the assistance system (10);
- and
- coordinating the evaporation process (30) of hydrogen from the hydrogen tank (18) of the motor vehicle (14) in accordance with the evaporation information (42) regarding the additional motor vehicle (16);
- wherein an evaporation time and an amount of hydrogen and a position of the additional motor vehicle (16) and a pressure in the additional hydrogen tank (22) and a location of an evaporation valve (24) on the additional hydrogen tank (22)-comprises are received as the evaporation information (42).
