摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to a method for filling a storage tank, in particular, a vehicle tank, with a pressurized, gaseous medium, in particular hydrogen, in which each storage tank (8) is filled with said medium via a tank supply line (30) and a filling coupling (19) which is provided on one end section (30a) of the tank supply line (30). Prior to filling the storage tank (8), a cold accumulator (7) provided upstream of the filling coupling (19) on the end section (30a) of the tank supply line (30) is cooled to a predetermined operational temperature such that the medium which, in a first phase of the filling of the storage tank (8), flows through the tank supply line (30) where it is in particular warmed, is cooled by the cold accumulator (7) to a predetermined desired temperature. When the tank supply line (30) has been cooled due to the effect of the medium flowing back, said cold accumulator (7) is cooled again in a second phase of filling the storage tank (8) by a medium flowing back. The invention also relates to a corresponding filling device.</p> |
