A pressure relief device includes a housing member having an inner space, a piston member provided in the inner space of the housing member, and a fusible member provided in a region below the piston member. The piston member includes an upper end region formed at an upper end in the up-down direction (H), and a connection region which is formed below the upper end region and extends downward from the upper end region while being connected to the upper end region. A first width (W1) of the upper end region in a left-right direction (A) is equal to a second width (W2) of the connection region in the left-right direction (A) or less than the second width (W2).

Pressure relief device

The present disclosure provides a thermal-activated pressure relief device of a fuel cell vehicle, the thermal-activated pressure relief device including: a hollow body mounted at an outlet of a hydrogen tank; a hydrogen discharge block having a plurality of first hydrogen discharge holes and mounted and fixed in an upper portion of the hollow body; a hydrogen discharge pipe having a plurality of second hydrogen discharge holes and connected to a bottom of the hydrogen discharge block; a piston fitted on an outer side of the hydrogen discharge pipe to be able to move up and down and to open and close the second hydrogen discharge holes; a stopper mounted in a lower portion of the hollow body and limiting a downward movement distance of the piston; and a melting alloy disposed between the piston and the stopper and melting at a predetermined temperature or more.

Thermal-activated pressure relief device for fuel cell vehicle

A temperature pressure relief device includes a body including an inlet passage into which high-pressure gas is introduced, an interior passage extending from the inlet passage in a predetermined first direction, and a high-pressure gas exhaust passage that is formed between the inlet passage and a reference end that is a distal end of the interior passage in the first direction and that connects the interior passage to an outside, a blocking part disposed in the interior passage of the body and selectively placed in one of a blocking state or a connecting state, and a support part arranged between the blocking part and the reference end, in which the support part is maintained in a solid state at a reference temperature or less and is in a molten state at more than the reference temperature and discharged from the interior passage.
