Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A safety device for containers pressurized with gas safeguards the gas side of the working chamber of hydraulic accumulators. A relief apparatus ( 2 ) reduces an elevated gas pressure in the container ( 3 ) caused by heat. The relief apparatus ( 2 ) is a component loaded under the influence of a shear force or compressive force. The shape change of the component under the influence of heat on the safety device ( 1 ) in a space ( 5 ) closed to the outside occurs such that a fluid-conducting connection ( 6 ) from the inside of the container ( 3 ) to the outside in the direction of the surroundings is enabled.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A safely device for gas-pressurized containers, comprising: a relief housing having an inlet connection connectable in fluid communication to an interior of a gas-pressurized container and an outlet connection connectable in fluid communication to an environment exterior of the container; an interior space in said relief housing closed to an exterior thereof; a valve member movably mounted in said relief housing between a closed position preventing fluid…
