VALVE FOR LPG STORAGE TANK

摘要

The invention is directed to a valve (12) for gas tank (2), comprising a body (14) with a first gas inlet (19), a gas outlet (28) and a first passage (18) connecting said inlet (19) with the outlet (28), a first electro-magnetic shut-off device (24) for shutting-off the first passage (18). The body further comprises a second inlet (21) and a second passage (22) connecting said inlet (21) with said outlet (28), and the valve further comprises a second electro-magnetic shut-off device (26) for shutting-off the second passage (22). The entry of the first passage (18) is in the liquid phase whereas the entry of the second passage (22) is in the vapor phase. Only the vapor phase is extracted when the vehicle is driven to a refilling station, in order to lower the pressure in the tank and enable refilling.
