  • Publication number: 20230274589
    Abstract: A device for monitoring the use of a pressure container system of a piece of equipment, such as a motor vehicle, is designed to ascertain equipment-side usage data relating to previous use of the pressure container system. The device is additionally designed to compare the equipment-side usage data with equipment-external usage data relating to the previous use of the pressure container system and to initiate one or more measures relating to further use of the pressure container system on the basis of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11322761
    Abstract: A method for enabling a fuel cell system includes the steps of: i) detecting a pressure value, which is indicative of the pressure within a section of the anode sub-system, wherein the section begins downstream of a pressure reducer; ii) relieving the pressure of the section during a pressure relief time interval, if the pressure value is greater than a pressure limit value and a release request is present; and then iii) enabling the fuel cell system if the pressure value in the section after the pressure relief is less than the pressure limit value.
