METHOD FOR SETTING THE TEMPERATURE AND/OR THE PRESSURE OF FUEL, IN PARTICULAR OF HYDROGEN, IN MULTIPLE PRESSURE VESSELS OF A VEHICLE TO IN EACH CASE ONE TEMPERATURE SETPOINT VALUE AND/OR IN EACH CASE ONE PRESSURE SETPOINT VALUE BEFORE A FILLING PROCESS OF THE PRESSURE VESSELS

摘要

A method for setting the temperature and/or the pressure of fuel in multiple pressure vessels (20, 40, 60) of a vehicle to in each case one temperature setpoint value and/or in each case one pressure setpoint value before a filling process of the pressure vessels (20, 40, 60) is presented, comprising the following steps: removing fuel from a first pressure vessel (20), wherein the fuel in the first pressure vessel (20) has a first temperature and a first pressure, in order to bring the first temperature and/or the first pressure of the fuel closer to the temperature setpoint value and/or to the pressure setpoint value of the first pressure vessel (20), and, in a manner dependent on the decision by a control device (80), feeding the removed fuel from the first pressure vessel (20) to a fuel conversion device for driving the vehicle, or into a second pressure vessel (40), wherein the fuel in the second pressure vessel (40) has a second temperature and a second pressure, in order to bring the second temperature and/or the second pressure of the fuel closer to the temperature setpoint value and/or to the pressure setpoint value of the second pressure vessel (40), wherein the temperature setpoint values and/or the pressure setpoint values of the pressure vessels (20, 40, 60) are determined such that, without an exceedance of the respective maximum operating pressure and the respective maximum operating temperature of the respective pressure vessel (20, 40, 60), the amount of fuel introduced from a single filling source by means of a filling process of the pressure vessels (20, 40, 60) performed at the same time and for an equal length of time is as high as possible.
