  • Publication number: 20120018314
    Abstract: A pressure vessel for the storage of pressurized gaseous hydrogen includes a liner which defines an interior for the accommodation of the gaseous hydrogen and a wrapping encompassing the liner which gives the pressure vessel its dimensional stability. In order to prevent a discharge of gaseous hydrogen from the wrapping of the pressure vessel at a high rate if the pressure vessel is discharged after a prolonged downtime, the wrapping of the pressure vessel is designed to be at least partially gas-permeable, so that the gas penetrating through the liner can escape continuously through the wrapping of the pressure vessel.

  • Patent number: 4553520
    Abstract: A device for the production of a fuel vapor/air mixture for spark-ignition engines comprising a float chamber and a vaporizer chamber with heated vaporizer surface, an intake pipe being provided with a first fixed diaphragm or nozzle, the liquid spaces of the vaporizer chamber and of the float chamber being connected to each other by means of a line, the gas space of the float chamber being connected upstream of the diaphragm or nozzle, viewed in the direction of flow, and the gas space of the vaporizer chamber being connected downstream of the diaphragm or of the nozzle, viewed in the direction of flow, to the intake pipe, by means of lines in each case, and the line from the gas space of the vaporizer chamber into the intake pipe being provided with a second fixed diaphragm or nozzle, which induces a pressure drop of 85 to 99.
