A safety valve for a compressed gas reservoir has an exhaust duct that is connected to the compressed gas reservoir, and a sealing element, which is arranged to move within the exhaust duct, and selectively opens the exhaust duct to the outside depending on an operating phase. The exhaust duct has a greater cross-sectional area on the side facing away from the compressed gas reservoir than on the side facing the compressed reservoir, and a constriction on the side of the sealing element facing away from the compressed reservoir.

In a hydrogen consuming system and a method for the operation thereof wherein the system comprises a hydrogen-consuming unit and a hydrogen storage arrangement comprising a compressed gas storage part and a solid material storage part and a cooling circuit with a radiator extending through the solid material storage part and the consuming unit, hydrogen bypass lines are provided for the solid material storage part and for the hydrogen consuming unit together with control valves for selectively by-passing the solid material storage part and the hydrogen consuming unit.

Hydrogen-consuming system and method for the operation thereof

In a hydrogen reservoir having a housing with a hydrogen storage material arranged in the housing for absorbing and releasing hydrogen as needed, the hydrogen reservoir includes at least one unit having a porous body surrounding a container in which the hydrogen storage material is contained and a method is provided for charging the hydrogen reservoir with hydrogen from a hydrogen filling stations.

Hydrogen reservoir and process for filling a hydrogen reservoir

A safety valve for a compressed gas storage tank () includes a relief conduit () provided for fluid connection to an interior chamber () of the compressed gas storage tank (), and a closing member () sealing the relief conduit (); a retaining device () being provided which, in a normal condition, locks the closing member () in place and which, in safety-critical conditions, opens a cross-sectional flow area () in such a manner that the relief conduit () is open to the atmosphere. In accordance with the present invention, the closing member () is connected to an adjustor () which adjusts the cross-sectional flow area () of the relief conduit () as a function of an upstream interior pressure.
