Abstract
Disclosed is a compressed-gas storage container for the pressurized storage of hydrogen gas including a wall defining a receiving area for storage of the gas. A gas-guiding device directs at least part of the gas along the inside of the wall wherein the wall acts as a heat exchanger in order to remove heat from the gas as the receiving area is being filled with the gas and to dissipate said heat to surroundings exterior to the gas storage container.
Claims19
A pressurized gas storage container for pressurized storage of a gas, comprising:
- a wall enclosing and defining a receiving area configured to receive the gas, and
- a gas guide apparatus, configured to guide at least part of the gas along an inner side of the wall during filling of the receiving area with the gas, wherein the wall is configured as a heat exchanger to extract heat from the gas during the filling of the receiving area with the gas and to release the extracted heat to a surroundings of the pressurized-gas storage container.
The pressurized gas storage container according to 3, characterized in that wherein the gas guide apparatus further comprises a second gas guide element attached to the second wall end section.
The pressurized-gas storage container according to 5, wherein the gas guide apparatus further comprises a second gas guide element attached to the second wall end section.
