Abstract: A gas discharge device, for a vehicle powered by compressed gas, includes: a gas manifold having a hollow body and including at least one port configured to be in fluid communication with a compressed gas tank, and an opening for discharging gas into the atmosphere; and a pipe configured to connect the port to the compressed gas tank. The pipe is freely translatable in the port to enable a first end of the pipe to move translationally along an axis in the port.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas discharge device (1) for a vehicle powered by compressed gas, comprising: —a gas manifold (11) having a hollow body and comprising: ?at least one port (12) configured to be in fluid communication with a compressed gas tank; and ?an opening (13) for discharging gas into the atmosphere; —a pipe (14) configured to connect the port (12) to a compressed gas tank; the pipe (14) being freely translatable in the port (12) to enable a first end (141) of the pipe (14) to move translationally along an axis (A) in the port (12).

Abstract: The invention is related to a tank system for storing a high pressure gas. The invention provides a system for storing a gas, the system comprising at least two tanks, a first tank and a last tank, the first tank comprising an inlet port connected to a system inlet, the last tank comprising an outlet port connected to a system outlet, each tank being provided with an on tank valve comprising an inlet port, an outlet port, and a communication line leading into the tank, each on tank valve comprising a communication line between the inlet port and the outlet port of the on tank valve, the outlet port of the on tank valve of the first tank being connected to the inlet port of the on tank valve of the last tank, the at least two tanks being serially connected.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a thermoplastic component for fuel systems or SCR systems includes the following steps: (1) molding and/or forming of a thermoplastic substrate from a first thermoplastic material, and (2) three-dimensional printing of a second thermoplastic material onto a first area of the thermoplastic substrate obtained after step (1). The first thermoplastic material of the thermoplastic substrate and the second thermoplastic material have a chemical compatibility.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention is a fuel cell system architecture provides a good weight distribution, improved trunk space without reducing the security against front-end and rear end collision.

Abstract: The valve, mounted on a vent pipe, allows the passage of gas in both directions, but prevents any escape of liquid fuel. The valve comprises a closed containment 7 equipped with a lower inlet port 8 and with an upper outlet port 9 which are connected to the vent pipe, a stationary circular inner cup 10 kept spaced from the inner wall of the containment and from the inlet port, a vertically displaceable assembly surmounting the cup and comprising a float 13 and a needle 16 which is equipped with a gasket 17 and is fixed to the float and which, in the high position of the assembly, can close off the outlet port 9, and means 11, 14, 15 for causing an upward displacement of the assembly as a result of an inclination of the containment 7. Furthermore, the annular space between the cup 10 and the inner wall of the containment 7 is profiled so as to form a Venturi tube 18 which is kept in relationship via at least one passage 20 with the volume 19 located between the cup 10 and the base of the float 13.
