Abstract: An absorption fluid reservoir having a fluid inlet for receiving gases during a charging event and a gas analysis unit for detecting unwanted impurities in the gases prior to being received in the reservoir and a control unit for eliminating the gases having the impurities.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel reservoir for gaseous fuel in a vehicle, in particular a sorption reservoir. The fuel reservoir is delimited by at least one wall and includes a sorption material that is contained in its interior. The fuel reservoir has a tank inlet valve containing a shut-off valve and a throttle restriction valve. The restriction of the gaseous fuel takes place inside the fuel reservoir.

Abstract: Hydrogen or methane gas pressure container having a minimum volume of 1 m3 a prescribed maximum filling pressure, has a filter through which oxygen, methane respectively, can flow during uptake. The filter has an adsorbent for adsorbing impurities selected from the group consisting of a higher hydrocarbon, ammonia, an odorous substance, hydrogen sulfide and a mixture of two or more of these substances. The pressure container and the filter comprise porous metal organic frameworks as adsorbent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a composite materials comprising the steps of (a) providing a hydrophobic organic bulk material, and (b) applying a hydrophilic surface coating on the hydrophobic organic bulk material by first non-covalently attaching to the surface of the bulk material a water-soluble peptide comprising a hydrophobic moiety; and then chemically or enzymatically crosslinking the water-soluble peptide. The composite materials manufactured according to the process of the invention have desirable characteristics regarding adherence to the substrate, durability, hydrophilicity, wettability, biocompatibility and permeability and are thus particularly useful as ophthalmic devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting impurities in a gas tank having a predefined tank nominal volume, which method includes at least one of the following steps: (a) determining a theoretical pressure drop in the gas tank from a quantity of gas which is actually extracted, and comparing said theoretical pressure drop with a measured pressure drop in the gas tank, wherein a higher measured pressure drop indicates the presence of impurities; and (b) determining a gas volume which is theoretically present in the gas tank from the measured pressure and measured temperature in the gas tank, and comparing the gas volume which is theoretically present in the gas tank with the tank nominal volume in order to determine a volume taken up by impurities which are present.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid reservoir (1), especially an adsorption fluid reservoir comprising a fluid inlet (2). The fluid reservoir according to the invention is characterized by a gas analysis unit (3) for detecting unwanted impurities.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid reservoir having a sorption medium. An energy absorbing and/or releasing device is provided for the improvement of the energy balance and for an immediately accessible heat supply from the sorption medium, for the gas release process, during the extraction of fuel from the fluid reservoir. For the intermediate storage of thus transferred energy in the form of differential heat between the filling and emptying of the fluid reservoir, the use of a latent heat reservoir, especially materials having melting temperatures of between 0° C. and 1400° C., is preferred. The use of such a latent heat reservoir enables permanent sufficient supplies of immediately accessible energy for a sufficient fluid extraction from the fluid reservoir, such that a flawless operation of an energy converter operated using the fluid, e.g. in the form of a fuel cell or a gas motor, is always ensured, especially in the event of low ambient temperatures.

Abstract: The invention proposes a vehicle (1) having a fuel cell system and/or an internal combustion engine and having at least one gas tank (2) for being filled with a gaseous fuel, in particular with natural gas or hydrogen, wherein a metal organic framework (MOF) is arranged in the interior of the gas tank (2) as a storage material for holding the fuel, wherein a comparatively high storage density is obtained and/or sufficient space for luggage or loading is made available in the vehicle (1). This is achieved according to the invention in that the gas tank (2) which comprises the metal organic framework (MOF) is embodied as a compressed-gas tank (2) for storing the gaseous fuel under pressure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas pressure container having a minimum volume of 1 m3 and a prescribed maximum filling pressure for the uptake, storage and delivery of a fuel gas which is gaseous under storage conditions and is suitable for powering a vehicle by combustion of the fuel gas, wherein the gas pressure vessel has a filter through which the fuel gas can flow at least during uptake or during delivery, with the filter being suitable for removing possible impurities in the fuel gas from the stream and the impurities being able to reduce the storage capacity for the fuel gas of an adsorbent used for the storage of the fuel gas. The invention further relates to the use of such a gas pressure container for filling a further gas pressure container which is present in or on a vehicle and comprises an adsorbent for the storage of the fuel gas.
