Abstract: A mobile energy storage device is provided that is arranged to drive autonomously in public traffic to a requested location and to supply energy to a parked electrically powered motor vehicle during the parking time thereof. The energy storage device contains a storage device for hydrogen and a fuel cell and is arranged to charge the parked motor vehicle with electric current that is generated by the fuel cell from the stored hydrogen. A method of charging a vehicle using the mobile energy storage device is also provided.

Abstract: A connection for conducting pressurized fluids between a tube and a connection component having a bore for receiving the tube. A clamping ring surrounds the tube and is seated on a seat between first and second bore segments and has an annular lip extending away from the seat. A locking bolt having a through-hole receiving the tube is threaded into the first bore segment and contacts the ring, an annular collar projecting from the locking bolt surrounding the lip and urging it radially inward to grip the tube when the bolt is tightened against the clamping ring. A sealing ring surrounding the tube is positioned between the clamping ring and a sealing ring seat defined between the second and third bore segments.

Abstract: A pressure vessel includes a shell, a first boss, a second boss, and a reinforcement support. The shell defines an internal cavity. The first and second bosses are disposed within the cavity and respectively extend through opposing longitudinal ends of the shell. The first boss defines a longitudinally extending central orifice. The reinforcement support is disposed within the cavity, is secured to the first boss radially outward of the central orifice, extends from the first boss to the second boss, and is secured to the second boss.

Abstract: A method for producing a compressed gas tank for a motor vehicle includes inserting a bundle of heat-conducting elements through an opening in a housing of the compressed gas tank and exerting a force on the bundle that radially expands the bundle within the housing beyond the size of the opening. The heat-conducting elements may be helically wound about a central axis when inserted through the opening with a torsional force applied to unwind the elements while radially expanding and reducing axial length of the bundle. A compressed gas tank for a motor vehicle includes a plurality of heat-conducting elements including at least one tube within a tank housing that extend axially along the tank and radially within the housing to a size exceeding an opening of the housing. The tube is configured to circulate coolant to cool compressed gas within the tank.

Abstract: A pressurized gas tank for a motor vehicle includes a cylindrical axially extending housing with two end pieces axially connected thereto connected together by one or more tie rods configured for axial transmission of tensile force. The tie rods include an axially continuous through-channel configured to be connected to a vehicle cooling system including a circulating liquid coolant to cool the pressurized gas at least during refueling of the pressurized gas tank.
