Abstract
The subject matter described herein relates to a method for filling fluid containers, in particular fluid containers for fuel cells The method includes: providing a pressure chamber having a pressure chamber interior; positioning a fluid container within the pressure chamber interior in such a manner that a holding space of the fluid container is fluidically connected to the pressure chamber interior; evacuating the pressure chamber interior up to a target negative pressure in such a manner that, due to the fluid coupling, a negative pressure difference initially forms in the pressure chamber interior with respect to the holding space; and filling the fluid container by introducing a fluid into the holding space.
Claims18
A method for filling fluid containers, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a pressure chamber having a pressure chamber interior;
- positioning a fluid container within the pressure chamber interior in such a manner that a holding space of the fluid container is fluidically connected to the pressure chamber interior;
- evacuating the pressure chamber interior up to a target negative pressure in such a manner that, due to the fluid coupling, a negative pressure difference initially forms in the pressure chamber interior with respect to the holding space;
- and
- filling the fluid container by introducing a fluid into the holding space.
A system for filling fluid containers for operating hydrogen-operated fuel cells, the system comprising:
- a pressure chamber that comprises a fluid-tight pressure chamber interior;
- a fluid container, which is positioned within the pressure chamber interior, and the holding space of which can be fluidically connected to the pressure chamber interior;
- and
- a compressor device that is embodied so as to generate a negative pressure difference in the pressure chamber interior with respect to the holding space.
