Abstract
The invention relates to a method for keeping free of ice or thawing at least one surface (1) which is at risk of icing of a tank interface (2), wherein the at least one surface (1) at risk of icing is formed on a refueling nozzle (3) and/or on a tank filler neck (4) of a vehicle which can be operated with hydrogen. According to the invention, the at least one surface (1) at risk of icing is heated during a refueling operation and/or after a refueling operation. The invention further relates to a tank interface (2) and to a vehicle, which can be operated with hydrogen, having a tank interface (2) according to the invention.
Claims15
A method for keeping free of ice or thawing at least one surface (1) at risk of icing of a tank interface (2), wherein the at least one surface (1) at risk of icing is formed on a refueling nozzle (3) and/or on a tank filler neck (4) of a vehicle configured to be operated with hydrogen,
- characterized in that the at least one surface (1) at risk of icing is heated during a refueling operation and/or after a refueling operation.
A tank interface (2) comprising at least one surface (1) at risk of icing which is formed on a refueling nozzle (3) and/or on a tank filler neck (4) of a vehicle configured to be operated with hydrogen,
- characterized in that the at least one surface (1) at risk of icing is configured to be heated by a heating device and/or is configured in such a way that water is removed, absorbed or adsorbed in a targeted manner.
