  • Method for monitoring pressure including boil detection
    Patent number: 10416688
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for monitoring pressure, for a vessel assembly including a sealed vessel capable of holding a liquid, a filter capable of capturing vapors from the liquid, a pipe connecting the vessel to the filter, and an isolation valve arranged to selectively shut off the pipe, including a detection of the boiling of the liquid contained in the vessel.

  • Method and computer for controlling the pressure inside a motor vehicle fuel tank
    Patent number: 10399434
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling the pressure inside a fuel tank of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle including a fuel vapor vent circuit connecting the tank to a fuel vapor canister, the vent circuit including an isolation valve for isolating the tank and a rollover valve. The pressure control method includes steps of: determining an activation duration required for the isolation valve to transition from a closed state to a fully open state, referred to as the “full opening duration”, when a predefined rollover valve closure risk criterion is satisfied: controlling the isolation valve in repeated activations of respective durations that are shorter than the full opening duration.
