Abstract: In connection with a user interface for a motor vehicle with a hybrid drive, a driver is able to select whether the hybrid drive is operated in an operating mode which consumes charge, or in an operating mode which retains charge. The user interface is configured to display the charge state of the energy store on a display, and to receive or calculate a charge state variable which is characteristic of the charge state. The charge state variable may be displayed with a first range of values in a first display area during operation of the hybrid drive in the charge-consuming operating mode. The charge state variable may be displayed with a second range of values, which is a subset of the first range of values, in a second display area during operation of the hybrid drive in the charge-retaining operating mode. The second display area is larger than a subrange of the first display area in which the second range of values is displayed.

Abstract: The gas which is to be introduced into a compressed gas container (50) is stored in a storage container (10) at a high pressure of approximately 250 bar. A booster compressor (20) is connected downstream of the storage container: The outlet of the booster compressor can be connected to a pre-filling container (30) via a valve apparatus (22). The compressed gas container (50) is filled first of all by the pre-filling container (30). When the pressure of the latter is no longer sufficient, a switchover is carried out, wherein the further filling takes place by the booster compressor (20) via a cyclone tube (40) or an injection device. In this way, a large storage container can be filled in a short time.

The chambers of a group are synchronously operated in phase. The chambers of two successive stages are operated in opposition of phase. The number of chambers in a group is approximately the same as the pressure ratio ?, so that the size of the chambers can be standardised.

Abstract: In order to generate a highly compressed gas, a multistage high-pressure compressor is used, which has a number of 3 compressor stages (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d). A vortex tube (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) is connected downstream from these compressor stages (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d). The pressure difference between the pressure line (4) of the high-pressure compressor and the compressed gas reservoir (7) to be filled is used for driving, together with an expansion turbine (5), a pre-compressor (2) for pre-compressing the gas before entering the first compressor stage (10a). Alternatively, a vortex tube for cooling gas can be mounted between the last compressor stage (10d) and the compressed gas reservoir (7). The inventive device permits a direct filling of a compressed gas reservoir in order to reach a limit value of the pressure in the compressed gas reservoir at a predetermined limit temperature, said limit value being stipulated according to the technical rules.
