  • Publication number: 20230417230
    Abstract: A pump arrangement for providing a saturated or subcooled liquid includes a tank for saturated liquid, a heat exchanger for cooling the saturated liquid, a pump, an expansion valve, and an output for feeding saturated or subcooled liquid to a consumer. A tank outlet is in fluid communication with a liquid inlet of the heat exchanger, such that saturated liquid stored inside the tank can flow into the heat exchanger designed to sub-cool the saturated liquid. A liquid outlet of the heat exchanger is in fluid communication with a pump inlet. The expansion valve outlet is in fluid communication with a coolant inlet of the heat exchanger. An expansion valve inlet is arranged for receiving and expanding a fraction of liquid flowing through the pump arrangement and routing it into the coolant input to at least partially evaporate and receive evaporation enthalpy of the liquid to be subcooled.

  • Publication number: 20230139191
    Abstract: A hydrogen tank having a tank structure at least partially delimiting a tank space and comprising a cooling shield formed in a lightweight construction. A conduit system, connected to the tank space, of a pressure relief system for discharging gaseous hydrogen from the tank space is formed in the cooling shield. At least one para-ortho catalyst for accelerated conversion of parahydrogen into orthohydrogen is arranged in the conduit system. A vehicle is provided having a hydrogen drive and such a hydrogen tank. A method for cooling the tank structure of such a hydrogen tank is provided.
