Zusammenfassung: | A pressure regulating device includes an on-board storage tank, a mixing chamber, first and second lines, a recirculation line, a pressure sensor and a controller. The storage tank stores and supplies cryogenic fuel to a combustion chamber and includes a booster pump. The first line supplies cryogenic fuel in the liquid state and includes a pressurizing pump and a first regulation valve. The second line supplies cryogenic fuel in the gaseous state and includes a compressor and a first control valve. The recirculation line includes a second regulation valve and with a first heat exchanger. The pressure sensor detects the pressure inside the storage tank. The controller receives the pressure and controls the first and second regulation valves, the first control valve, the pressurizing pump, the booster pump and the compressor, as a function of a value of a setpoint pressure inside the storage tank. |
