AIRCRAFT HYDROGEN TANK SYSTEM INCORPORATING PRESSURE CONTROL MEANS

Abstract

AIRCRAFT HYDROGEN TANK SYSTEM WITH PRESSURE CONTROL MEANS The invention relates to a tank system (100) comprising a hydrogen tank (102) with inlet (102a) and outlet (102b) ports, a supply line (104) between the outlet (102b) and a consuming system (50), a return line (106) between the supply line (104) and the inlet (102a), a pump (108) between the outlet (102b) and the return line (106), a control valve (110) on the return line (106), a pressure sensor (112) in the tank (102), and a control unit (114) controlling the increase or decrease of the flow area of ​​the control valve (110) depending on the pressure measured by the pressure sensor (112). With such an arrangement, it is not necessary to add devices to control the pressure in the tank. Fig. 2
