Abstract

Bei einer mobilen Füllanlage für Druckgasflaschen (6), mit einem Speicher (3) für kryogen verflüssigte Gase, wenigstens einer Pumpe (15) und einer Füllstation (2) zum Anschluß an zu befüllende Druckflaschen (6) sind der Speicher (3) und die Füllstation (2) als gesonderte Baueinheiten ausgebildet und gesondert verfahrbar, wobei die Füllstation (2) wenigstens eine Pumpe (15), einen Verdampfer (21) und die Anschlüsse für die Flaschen (6) aufweist und von einem Fahrzeug (1) absetzbar ausgebildet ist. Die Anschlüsse der Füllstation (2) für die Druckgasflaschen (6) sind in eine Betriebslage unter Schaffung eines Freiraumes für Flaschen (6) oder Flaschenpaletten anhebbar oder schwenkbar, wobei der von der Füllstation (2) gesonderte Speicher (3) über eine totraumfreie Kupplung (20) und eine erste Leitung (13) mit der Füllstation (2) verbindbar ist und eine zweite absperrbare Leitung (14) zwischen Füllstation (2) und Speicher (3) in den Gasraum des Speichers (3) mündet.

Figure 00000001
In a mobile filling system for compressed gas bottles (6), with a storage (3) for cryogenically liquefied gases, at least one pump (15) and a filling station (2) for connection to pressure bottles (6) to be filled, the storage (3) and Filling station (2) is designed as separate structural units and can be moved separately, the filling station (2) having at least one pump (15), an evaporator (21) and the connections for the bottles (6) and being designed to be removable from a vehicle (1) , The connections of the filling station (2) for the pressurized gas bottles (6) can be raised or swiveled into an operating position, creating a free space for bottles (6) or bottle pallets, with the storage (3) separate from the filling station (2) via a coupling free of dead spaces ( 20) and a first line (13) can be connected to the filling station (2) and a second shut-off line (14) between the filling station (2) and the store (3) opens into the gas space of the store (3).
