Definitions
- the invention relates to a rail vehicle carriage with at least one tank for storing gaseous fuels such as hydrogen/hydrogen compounds as fuel for a fuel cell or liquid gas (LPG) or natural gas (CNG).
- gaseous fuels such as hydrogen/hydrogen compounds as fuel for a fuel cell or liquid gas (LPG) or natural gas (CNG).
- a multiple unit train that can be operated with hydrogen comprises at least one rail vehicle car that is equipped with a hydrogen tank for storing the hydrogen.
- These hydrogen tanks typically consist of wrapped carbon fiber containers with PE lines.
- this material has a different thermal expansion than the rail car body, which is typically made of aluminum or steel.
- complex structures are required to securely attach a hydrogen tank to the rail vehicle carriage, but the different heat allow me expansion .
- the applicability of the known hydrogen tanks cannot be expanded at will due to the space required for other components.
- the hydrogen tank and other components of the multiple unit are typically mounted on its roof, so that there is not an unlimited amount of space available for dimensioning the hydrogen tank. This in turn limits the range of the multiple unit on routes without catenary.
- the invention is based on the object of further developing a rail vehicle carriage of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that both different thermal expansions of the materials used are reduced and the capacity of the tank is increased.
- a rail vehicle car according to claim 1, according to which the at least one tank is integrated into a car body shell of the rail vehicle and the walls of the tank are designed such that they assume a supporting function within the car body shell.
- the tank is designed to store gaseous fuels, e.g. B. Hydrogen, hydrogen compounds, LPG or CNG. Closed hollow chambers are often provided in structures of car body shells, e.g. B. Aluminum extrusions or steel box structures. According to the invention, these can be used as pressure tanks for hydrogen. Thus, for example, it can be provided that the tank is made of the same material, for example steel or aluminum, as the car body shell. This avoids negative effects of different thermal expansions. Alternatively, it is also possible that the tank is made of other materials suitable for storing gaseous fuels, e.g. B. GRP or CFRP.
- gaseous fuels e.g. B. Hydrogen, hydrogen compounds, LPG or CNG.
- Closed hollow chambers are often provided in structures of car body shells, e.g. B. Aluminum extrusions or steel box structures. According to the invention, these can be used as pressure tanks for hydrogen.
- the tank is made of the same material, for example steel or aluminum, as the
- the car body shell which typically consists of end walls, side walls, roof and underframe, provides a very large volume for storing hydrogen.
- the tank will have to be arranged in areas of the car body shell that are subjected to comparatively little static stress, in particular away from running gears, in the area of which the car body shell structure is typically reinforced. This is the case regardless of whether the car body shell is manufactured as an integral or differential construction.
- the hydrogen tank can be connected to adjoining areas of the car body shell of the rail vehicle car using suitable joining methods, e.g. B. by welding or structural bonding.
- a longitudinal section of the car body shell over the entire cross section of walls (side walls, roof, underframe) of the car body shell is formed at least predominantly or completely by the tank.
- the said longitudinal section is adjoined by the conventionally manufactured car body shell, with the longitudinal section that forms the tank having the same static properties as a conventionally manufactured longitudinal section of a car body shell that is used at the same location.
- different thermal expansions between the tank material and the car body shell material adjoining it are comparatively uncritical.
- the longitudinal section forming the tank can have an end wall or a transverse completely enclose the partition wall of the car body shell running in the direction of the rail vehicle car. Just one end wall of the car body shell already provides a very extensive volume for storing hydrogen.
- the longitudinal section forming the tank can include an overhang of the car body shell that lies outside of the running gear areas.
- an overhang and an adjoining end wall can be completely included in the design of the tank.
- the same arrangement of tanks is also advantageous for rail vehicle wagons with individual running gears arranged centrally in the longitudinal direction thereof.
- the longitudinal section forming the tank can be arranged outside of the running gear areas and centrally over a length of the car body shell. This is particularly favorable for rail vehicle wagons that are part of a multiple unit, in which the wagons either have end-side running gears or have z. B. so-called . "Jakobs bogies" are coupled together in the form of an articulated train.
- the rail vehicle carriage can be designed as an undercarriage-less carriage transition module, in which longitudinal forces between the car bodies adjacent to the ends of the carriage transition module are transmitted exclusively via a coupling rod of the carriage transition module, without including the car body shell of the carriage transition module.
- the car body shell can be designed and used at least predominantly or completely as a tank. This is due to the fact that the car body shell of the car transition module is not included in the longitudinal force transmission within a multiple unit that includes this car transition module and therefore only has to meet minor static requirements. Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it :
- FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a longitudinal section of a car body shell designed as a hydrogen tank for a rail vehicle in a first embodiment
- FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a longitudinal section of a car body shell designed as a hydrogen tank for a rail vehicle in a second embodiment
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a wagon transition module used as a hydrogen tank with adjoining carrier wagons
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a single car with running gears at the ends, which is equipped with hydrogen tanks, in a first embodiment
- FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a single car with end-side running gear, which is equipped with hydrogen tanks, in a second embodiment
- FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of a section of an articulated train that includes a rail vehicle wagon equipped with a hydrogen tank.
- Figures 1 and 2 show two basic variants for the integration of a hydrogen tank in the car body shell of a rail vehicle.
- the hydrogen tank is generally representative of tanks that are suitable for storing gaseous fuels.
- 1 and 2 each show a cross section through a longitudinal section of the rail vehicle carriage, which is used as a hydrogen tank.
- the entire cross section of the walls of the car body shell serves as a hydrogen tank 1, i.e. the hydrogen tank 1 extends over a roof area 2, two side walls 3 and a floor 4 of the rail vehicle car. Taken together, all of these wall areas of the rail vehicle car result in a large dimensioned usable tank volume for storing hydrogen or hydrogen compounds.
- a hydrogen tank 5 in the variant according to FIG. 2 is distinguished by an even significantly larger storage volume than the hydrogen tank 1 according to FIG.
- the relevant longitudinal section of the rail vehicle carriage, which is designed as a hydrogen tank 5 is present as a front or partition wall of the rail vehicle carriage, so that only one passenger passage 6 remains, which allows passengers to enter the areas behind the hydrogen tank 5 located area of the rail vehicle car can reach.
- a car transition module 7 is provided, the car body shell of which serves entirely as a hydrogen tank.
- the wagon transition module 7 is arranged between two carrier wagons 8 and has no running gear. Longitudinal forces are transmitted between the carrier wagons 8 via a coupling rod (not shown) which is located below the wagon transition module 7 runs and connects the two carrier cars 8 directly to each other.
- FIG. 4 shows a single rail vehicle carriage 9, which is equipped with two running gears 10, each located at the end.
- a central longitudinal section 11 of the rail vehicle carriage 9 is manufactured in a conventional manner, for example from aluminum or steel.
- the running gears 10 are also connected to the car body shell of the rail vehicle car 9.
- Respective overhangs 12 which connect to the central longitudinal section 11 and form respective ends of the rail vehicle carriage 9 , are designed as hydrogen tanks 13 .
- Such overhangs 12 can often not be seated due to an intended collection of the car body shell and are therefore used for other installations, such as luggage racks, doors, etc. used . Therefore, the overhangs 12 can be designed as large-volume hydrogen tanks 13, with associated end walls 14 corresponding to the variant explained in FIG correspond to the hydrogen tank 1 .
- FIG. 5 shows a variant of a rail vehicle carriage 16, which in turn is equipped with running gears 17 at the ends.
- a central longitudinal section 18 of the rail vehicle body shell is designed as a hydrogen tank 19 .
- the hydrogen tank 19 is integrated into the car body shell and connects to the car body sections 20 at the ends, which are manufactured in a conventional manner. With regard to its load-bearing / static properties, the hydrogen tank 19 corresponds to those properties that a corresponding longitudinal section of the car body would have if it were of conventional construction, d. H . would have been manufactured in the same construction as the longitudinal sections 20 .
- FIG. 6 shows part of an articulated train, one of the rail vehicle carriages shown being designed as a hydrogen tank 22 in its central longitudinal section 21 .
- the longitudinal extension of the centrally located hydrogen tank 22 is dimensioned such that there is a sufficient longitudinal distance to the provided Jakobs bogies 23, so that the static stresses on the hydrogen tank 22 are not too high.
- Both ends of the rail vehicle carriage 21 are adjoined by longitudinal sections 24 of the rail vehicle carriage 21 manufactured in a conventional manner.
- the supporting structure of the hydrogen tank 22 is designed in such a way that the same requirements are met as if the hydrogen tank 22 had been manufactured in the same construction as the longitudinal sections 24 .
- All illustrated exemplary embodiments have in common that the respective hydrogen tank 1, 5, 13, 19, 22 is joined to adjacent body shell sections of the relevant rail vehicle carriage, for example by welding in body shells of differential or integral design.
- the hydrogen tanks 1, 5, 13, 19, 22 are made of fiber-reinforced plastic (GRP, CFRP), structural bonding is used to join the adjacent car body shell sections made of metal.
- GRP fiber-reinforced plastic
- a supply line (not shown in the drawing) for a fuel cell is also provided in each case.
