Abstract
The invention relates to a filler head (23) for a storage system comprising a body with a main part (31) closed by a cover part, and being configured to receive a distribution nozzle of a fluid and configured to be connected, in a tighten manner, to a filling line and a venting line of a fluid tank, the filler head (23) further comprising a buffer volume (33) so as to reduce the speed of flow (V) coming from the venting line (21), the buffer volume (33) being in one-piece with the main part (31) and is closed by the cover part so as to limit fluid projection from the filler head (23) during refilling.
Claims15
A head for a storage system comprising a body with a main part closed by a cover part, and being configured to receive a distribution nozzle of a fluid and configured to be connected, in a tighten manner, to a filling line and a venting line of a fluid tank, the filler head further comprising a buffer volume so as to reduce the speed of flow (V) coming from the venting line, wherein the buffer volume is in one-piece with the main part and is closed by the cover part so as to limit fluid projection from the filler head during refilling, and wherein the body comprises a cavity integrated in the main part and in which the fluid is guided to the filling line, a separating device being mounted within the cavity between the main part and the cover part so as to improve the partitioning of the flow (V) coming from the venting line and the flow (F) going to the filling line.
The filler head according to claim 15, wherein the shielding element at least partially surrounds the hole of the venting element in order to allow only the passage of air through the hole.
