Fuel storage and supply system for vehicle fuel cells

Abstract

The invention relates to systems for storing and supplying fuel to fuel cells as part of electrochemical generators designed to produce electricity, and power traction batteries and traction electric motors of electric vehicles and other highly automated vehicles. The technical result achieved by the proposed invention is to increase the safety of using high-pressure fuel storage and supply systems as part of mobile elements of vehicles. The specified technical result is achieved by the storage and fuel supply system for fuel cells, containing at least two composite hydrogen tanks interconnected by stainless steel tubes, which in turn are connected via an adapter to a high-pressure reducer and a fueling unit with a filling coupler and a pressure gauge; the high-pressure reducer is connected to a low-pressure reducer via a nylon tube, while the stainless-steel tube in the section between the adapter and the filling coupler has a U-shaped compensation bend, and in the section between the compensation bend and the adapter, the tube contains clips for attachment to the vehicle frame, and the low-pressure reducer has an outlet for connection with the input of the fuel cells of an electrochemical generator.
