RESERVER FOR ULTRA-LOW TEMPERATURE FUEL, AND VEHICLE HAVING AT LEAST ONE RESERVER FOR ULTRA-LOW TEMPERATURE FUEL, ESPECIALLY AIRPLANE

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a useful protection for enabling safe operation of a vehicle, especially a type driven with hydrogen, owing to a high reactivity of hydrogen as fuel with oxygen. PSOLUTION: The fuel put in an accommodation chamber is separated at least partially by a barrier layer 16 from a contact area and/or contact element to be protected, and the barrier layer is accomplished by a reserver having such a feature as formed from a non-combustible medium heavier than the fuel stored. This enables chemical and/or physical segregation of the hydrogen from the surrounding areas to be protected. For a vehicle etc., in particular an airplane, safe operation is guaranteed by the application of this reserver. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
