  • Publication number: 20230400156
    Abstract: A tank device for temperature pressure relief in a fuel cell tank, the tank device comprising at least two tank containers and a supply line which can be connected to the tank containers, each of the at least two tank containers having at least one shutoff valve at one end, the shutoff valve being arranged between the respective tank container and the supply line. At least one safety valve is arranged at another end of the tank container, wherein at least the at least two tank containers and the respective safety valve are at least almost completely enclosed by a housing element and/or are encapsulated from an environment. A positive pressure prevails in the housing element, wherein the housing element contains a temperature-sensitive material, wherein the meltable medium of the safety valve melts when the pressure prevailing in the inner space falls, and thus opens the safety valve.

  • Publication number: 20230213098
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shut-off valve (1) for a pressurized-gas vessel, comprising a valve closing body (2) which can perform stroke movements and which is preloaded by the spring force of a closing spring (3) against a valve seat (4), such that, when the valve closing body (2) is in a closed position, a connection of a valve inlet (5) to a valve outlet (6) is shut off, and furthermore comprising an actuator arrangement (7) for opening the valve closing body (2). According to the invention, the actuator arrangement (7) interacts with an actuating element (8) which is arranged spaced apart from and coaxial with respect to the valve closing body (2) and which is movable by means of the actuator arrangement (7) in the direction of the valve closing body (2), such that, when the actuating element (8) abuts against the valve closing body (2), an opening impulse can be generated. The invention furthermore relates to a pressurized-gas vessel having a shut-off valve (1) according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20200305408
    Abstract: A method for detecting at least one spray liquid data set of a spray liquid applied to an agricultural area using at least one spray nozzle unit of a spraying device. The method includes receiving a property signal, including a piece of property information of the spray liquid detected using a sensor unit of the spraying device in a through-flow area of the spray nozzle unit during an application operation of the spray liquid; receiving a position signal, including a piece of position information of the spray liquid, using a position unit, the position information representing a geographic position of the spray liquid during the application operation of the spray liquid; and storing the property information and/or a piece of spray liquid information of the applied spray liquid ascertained using the property information, together with the associated position information, using an information unit, for detecting the spray liquid data set.
