Cryogenic fuel tank venting system and method

A cryogenic fuel tank system includes a fuel tank configured to contain a cryogenic liquid having a headspace above the cryogenic liquid configured to contain a cryogenic vapor. The fuel cell converts the cryogenic steam of the headspace into electricity and water vapor. The vent valve directs exces...

Zusammenfassung:A cryogenic fuel tank system includes a fuel tank configured to contain a cryogenic liquid having a headspace above the cryogenic liquid configured to contain a cryogenic vapor. The fuel cell converts the cryogenic steam of the headspace into electricity and water vapor. The vent valve directs excess cryogenic vapors from the headspace to the fuel cell when the pressure in the fuel tank exceeds a predetermined pressure level. 一种低温燃料箱系统,包括配置成容纳低温液体的燃料箱,在低温液体上方具有配置成容纳低温蒸汽的顶部空间。燃料电池将顶部空间的低温蒸汽转化成电力和水蒸汽。当燃料箱中的压力超过预定压力水平时,排气阀将过量低温蒸汽从顶部空间引导至燃料电池。
