Description

Beschreibung description
Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen mit einem Tank Rail vehicle carriage with a tank
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen mit wenigstens einem Tank zur Speicherung gasförmiger Brennstoffe wie Wasserstoff /Wasserstoffverbindungen als Brennstoff für eine Brennstoffzelle oder Flüssiggas (LPG) oder Erdgas (CNG) . 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).
Insbesondere elektrische Triebzüge erhalten gegenwärtig ihre Energie überwiegend aus einer Oberleitung. Allerdings gibt es sowohl in Deutschland als auch weltweit diverse Gleisstrecken, die nicht elektrifiziert sind und somit von einem rein aus der Oberleitung Energie beziehenden elektrischen Triebzug nicht befahren werden können. Auf solchen Strecken wurden bisher Züge mit einem Dieselantrieb eingesetzt. In particular, electric multiple units currently receive their energy mainly from an overhead line. However, there are various stretches of track both in Germany and worldwide that are not electrified and therefore cannot be used by an electric multiple unit that draws energy purely from the overhead line. Trains with a diesel drive were previously used on such routes.
Zunehmend gibt es jedoch immer mehr alternative Antriebskonzepte bzw. -lösungen, um elektrische Energie für oberleitungsfreie Strecken den Triebzug zur Verfügung zu stellen. Hauptsächlich sind dies Batteriespeicher und Brennstoffzellen. Brennstoffzellen erzeugen dabei aus Wasserstoff elektrische Energie, die wiederum für den Antrieb und die Hilfsbetriebe des Triebzuges genutzt wird. Weitere mögliche Brennstoffe sind LPG oder CNG. Increasingly, however, there are more and more alternative drive concepts and solutions to provide electrical energy to the multiple unit for routes without overhead lines. These are mainly battery storage and fuel cells. Fuel cells generate electrical energy from hydrogen, which in turn is used for the drive and the auxiliary systems of the multiple unit. Other possible fuels are LPG or CNG.
Insofern umfasst ein mit Wasserstoff betreibbarer Triebzug mindestens einen Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen, der mit einem Wasserstoff-Tank zur Speicherung des Wasserstoffs ausgestattet ist. Diese Wasserstoff-Tanks bestehen typischerweise aus gewickelten Kohlefaserbehältern mit PE-Leinen. Dieses Material hat jedoch eine andere Wärmeausdehnung als der typischer Weise aus Aluminium oder Stahl gefertigte Wagenkasten des Schienenfahrzeugs. Dadurch sind aufwändige Strukturen erforderlich, um einen Wasserstoff-Tank sicher auf dem Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen zu befestigen, jedoch die unterschiedliche Wär- meausdehnung zuzulassen . Dies hat ein hohes Gewicht (Achslast ) des Triebzuges zur Folge und führt an einigen Stellen zu doppeltem Materialeinsatz . Neben der Längenänderung der Materialien aufgrund von Wärmeausdehnung kommt es auch aufgrund der Betankung des Wasserstof f-Tanks mit Druckwasserstof f zu einer signi fikanten Ausdehnung des Wasserstof f-Tanks in seiner Längsrichtung sowie einer geringen radialen Ausdehnung . In this respect, 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. However, this material has a different thermal expansion than the rail car body, which is typically made of aluminum or steel. As a result, complex structures are required to securely attach a hydrogen tank to the rail vehicle carriage, but the different heat allow me expansion . This results in a high weight (axle load) of the multiple unit and doubles the use of material in some places. In addition to the change in length of the materials due to thermal expansion, there is also a significant expansion of the hydrogen tank in its longitudinal direction and a small radial expansion due to the filling of the hydrogen tank with pressurized hydrogen.
Die Anwendbarkeit der bekannten Wasserstof f-Tanks ist zudem aufgrund des erforderlichen Platzbedarfs anderer Komponenten nicht beliebig erweiterbar . Typischerweise ist der Wasserstof f-Tank sowie andere Komponenten des Triebzuges auf dessen Dach montiert , so dass für eine Dimensionierung des Wasserstof f-Tanks nicht beliebig viel Platz zur Verfügung steht . Dies wiederum beschränkt die Reichweite des Triebzuges auf oberleitungslosen Strecken . In addition, 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.
Ausgehend hiervon liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde , einen Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass sowohl unterschiedliche Wärmeausdehnungen von eingesetzten Materialien vermindert werden als auch eine Kapazität des Tanks erhöht wird . Proceeding from this, 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.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen nach Anspruch 1 , wonach der wenigstens eine Tank in einen Wagenkasten-Rohbau des Schienenfahrzeugs integriert ist und die Wandungen des Tanks derart ausgelegt sind, dass sie eine tragende Funktion innerhalb des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus übernehmen . This object is achieved by 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.
Der Tank ist zur Speicherung gas förmiger Brennstof fe ausgelegt , z . B . Wasserstof f , Wasserstof fverbindungen, LPG oder CNG . In Strukturen von Wagenkasten-Rohbauten sind oft geschlossene Hohlkammern vorgesehen, z . B . Aluminium- Strangpressprofile oder Stahl-Kastenstrukturen . Diese können gemäß der Erfindung als Drucktanks für Wasserstof f genutzt werden . Somit kann beispielsweise vorgesehen sein, dass der Tank aus demselben Material , beispielsweise Stahl oder Aluminium, hergestellt ist , wie der Wagenkasten-Rohbau . Dies vermeidet negative Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Wärmeausdehnungen . Alternativ ist es aber auch möglich, dass der Tank aus anderen zur Speicherung gas förmiger Brennstof fe geeigneten Materialen gefertigt ist , z . B . GFK oder CFK . Zudem steht mit dem Wagenkasten-Rohbau, der sich typischerweise aus Stirnwänden, Seitenwänden, Dach und Untergestell zusammensetzt , ein sehr großes Volumen zur Speicherung von Wasserstof f zur Verfügung . Dabei wird der Tank in vergleichsweise statisch gering beanspruchten Bereichen des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus anzuordnen sein, insbesondere entfernt von Fahrwerken, in deren Bereich der Wagenkasten-Rohbau typischer Weise verstärkt ist . Dies ist unabhängig davon der Fall , ob der Wagenkasten-Rohbau in Integral- oder Di f ferentialbauweise gefertigt ist . Der Wasserstof ftank kann mit Hil fe geeigneter Fügeverfahren an angrenzende Bereiche des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus des Schienenfahrzeug- Wagens angeschlossen sein, z . B . durch Schweißen oder strukturelles Kleben . 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. In addition, the car body shell, which typically consists of end walls, side walls, roof and underframe, provides a very large volume for storing hydrogen. In this case, 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.
Bevorzugt ist ein Längsabschnitt des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus über den gesamten Querschnitt von Wandungen ( Seitenwände , Dach, Untergestell ) des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus wenigstens überwiegend oder auch vollständig von dem Tank gebildet . Bei dieser Ausführungs form schließt sich an den besagten Längsabschnitt der in herkömmlicher Bauweise gefertigte Wagenkasten-Rohbau an, wobei der Längsabschnitt , der den Tank bildet , über dieselben statischen Eigenschaften verfügt wie ein am selben Ort eingesetzter, herkömmlich hergestellter Längsabschnitt eines Wagenkasten-Rohbaus . Bei dieser Aus führungs form sind verschiedene Wärmeausdehnungen zwischen dem Tankmaterial und dem daran angrenzenden Wagenkasten-Rohbaumaterial vergleichsweise unkritisch . Preferably, 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. In this embodiment, 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. In this embodiment, different thermal expansions between the tank material and the car body shell material adjoining it are comparatively uncritical.
In einer bevorzugten Aus führungs form kann der den Tank bildende Längsabschnitt eine Stirnwand oder auch eine in Quer- richtung des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens verlaufende Zwischenwand des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus vollständig umfassen . Allein eine Stirnwand des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus stellt bereits ein sehr umfangreiches Volumen zur Speicherung von Wasserstof f zur Verfügung . In a preferred embodiment, 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.
In dem Fall , wenn der Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen mit endseitigen Fahrwerken ausgestattet ist , kann der den Tank bildende Längsabschnitt einen außerhalb der Fahrwerkbereiche liegenden Überhang des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus umfassen . Zudem ist es möglich, dass ein solcher Überhang und eine angrenzende Stirnwand gemeinsam vollständig in die Ausbildung des Tanks einbezogen sind . Dieselbe Anordnung von Tanks ist auch bei Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen mit einzelnen, in Längsrichtung desselben mittig angeordneten Fahrwerken vorteilhaft . In the case where the rail vehicle carriage is equipped with running gear at the ends, the longitudinal section forming the tank can include an overhang of the car body shell that lies outside of the running gear areas. In addition, it is possible for such an overhang and an adjoining end wall to 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.
Vorteilhafterweise kann der den Tank bildende Längsabschnitt außerhalb der Fahrwerkbereiche und über eine Länge des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus zentral angeordnet sein . Dies ist insbesondere günstig bei Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen, die Teil eines Triebzuges sind, bei dem die Wagen entweder j eweils endseitige Fahrwerke aufweisen oder über z . B . sog . „Jakobs-Drehgestelle" in der Form eines Gliederzuges miteinander gekoppelt sind . Advantageously, 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.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltungs form kann der Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen als fahrwerkloses Wagenübergangsmodul ausgebildet sein, bei dem Längskräfte zwischen an den Enden des Wagenübergangsmoduls angrenzenden Wagenkästen ohne Einbeziehung des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus des Wagenübergangsmoduls ausschließlich über eine Kupplungsstange des Wagenkastenübergangsmoduls übertragen werden . In diesem Fall kann der Wagenkasten-Rohbau wenigstens überwiegend oder auch vollständig als Tank ausgebildet sein und genutzt werden . Dies beruht darauf , dass der Wagenkasten-Rohbau des Wagenübergangsmoduls in die Längskräf teübertragung innerhalb eines Triebzuges , der dieses Wagenübergangsmodul umfasst , nicht einbezogen ist und somit nur geringe statisch Anforderungen zu erfüllen hat . Aus führungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen noch näher erläutert . Es zeigen : In a further preferred embodiment, 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. In this case, 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 :

Figur 5 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Einzelwagens mit endseitigen Fahrwerken, der mit Wasserstof f-Tanks ausgestattet ist , in einer zweiten Aus führungs form und 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 and
Figur 6 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Abschnitts eines Gliederzugs , der einen mit einem Wasserstof f-Tank ausgestatteten Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen umfasst . FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of a section of an articulated train that includes a rail vehicle wagon equipped with a hydrogen tank.
Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen zwei Grundvarianten zur Integration eines Wasserstof f-Tanks in den Wagenkasten-Rohbau eines Schienenfahrzeugs . Der Wasserstof f tank steht dabei allgemein stellvertretend für Tanks , die zur Speicherung gas förmiger Brennstof fe geeignet sind . In Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 ist jeweils ein Querschnitt durch einen Längsabschnitt des Schienenfahrzeugs-Wagens dargestellt, der als Wasserstoff-Tank genutzt wird. 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.
Bei der Variante nach Figur 1 dient der gesamte Querschnitt von Wandungen des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus als Wasserstoff-Tank 1, d.h. der Wasserstoff-Tank 1 erstreckt sich über einen Dachbereich 2, zwei Seitenwände 3 und einen Boden 4 des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens. Diese sämtlichen genannten Wandbereiche des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens zusammengenommen, ergeben ein groß dimensioniertes nutzbares Tankvolumen zur Speicherung von Wasserstoff oder Wasserstoff-Verbindungen. Bei der in Figur 1 dargestellten Variante ist es möglich, einen Innenausbau des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens genauso zu gestalten, wie außerhalb des dargestellten Längsabschnitts , d.h. in Längsabschnitten des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens, die in konventionellen Fertigungsverfahren, wie Differentialbauweise (Stahl) und Integralbauweise (Aluminium) hergestellt sind. In the variant according to Figure 1, 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. In the variant shown in Figure 1, it is possible to design an interior of the rail vehicle carriage in exactly the same way as outside the longitudinal section shown, i.e. in longitudinal sections of the rail vehicle carriage that are produced using conventional manufacturing processes such as differential construction (steel) and integral construction (aluminium). are made.
Im Vergleich dazu zeichnet sich ein Wasserstoff-Tank 5 bei der Variante nach Figur 2 durch ein noch wesentlich größeres Speichervolumen als der Wasserstoff-Tank 1 nach Figur 1 aus. Der betreffende Längsabschnitt des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens, der als Wasserstoff-Tank 5 ausgeführt ist, liegt als Stirnoder Zwischenwand des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens vor, so dass ausschließlich ein Passagierdurchgang 6 verbleibt, der es gestattet, dass Fahrgäste in den jeweils hinter dem Wasserstoff-Tank 5 gelegenen Bereich des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens gelangen können. In comparison to this, 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.
Bei der in Figur 3 dargestellten Aus führungs form ist ein Wagenübergangsmodul 7 vorgesehen, dessen Wagenkasten-Rohbau vollständig als Wasserstoff-Tank dient. Das Wagenübergangsmodul 7 ist zwischen zwei Trägerwagen 8 angeordnet und frei von Fahrwerken. Eine Übertragung von Längskräften zwischen den Trägerwagen 8 vollzieht sich über eine (nicht dargestellte) Kupplungsstange, welche unterhalb des Wagenübergangsmoduls 7 verläuft und die beiden Trägerwagen 8 unmittelbar miteinander verbindet . In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, 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.
Figur 4 zeigt einen einzelnen Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen 9 , der mit zwei j eweils endseitig gelegenen Fahrwerken 10 ausgestattet ist . Ein zentraler Längsabschnitt 11 des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens 9 ist in herkömmlicher Bauweise gefertigt , beispielsweise aus Aluminium oder Stahl . Im Bereich des Längsab- schnitts 11 sind zudem die Fahrwerke 10 an den Wagenkasten- Rohbau des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens 9 angebunden . 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. In the area of the longitudinal section 11, the running gears 10 are also connected to the car body shell of the rail vehicle car 9.
Jeweilige Überhänge 12 , die sich an den mittleren Längsabschnitt 11 anschließen und j eweilige Enden des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens 9 bilden, sind als Wasserstof f-Tanks 13 ausgeführt . Solche Überhänge 12 können aufgrund eines vorgesehenen Einzugs des Wagenkasten-Rohbaus häufig nicht bestuhlt werden und werden daher für andere Einbauten, wie Gepäckregale , Türen, usw . genutzt . Daher können die Überhänge 12 als großvo- lumige Wasserstof f-Tanks 13 ausgeführt werden, wobei zugehörige Stirnwände 14 der in Figur 2 erläuterten Variante für einen Wasserstof f-Tank 5 entsprechen, während sich an die Stirnwände 14 nach Innen anschließende Längsabschnitte 15 von ihrer Struktur her dem Wasserstof f-Tank 1 entsprechen . 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 .
Figur 5 zeigt eine Variante eines Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens 16 , der wiederum mit endseitigen Fahrwerken 17 ausgestattet ist . Ein zentraler Längsabschnitt 18 des Schienenfahrzeug- Wagenrohbaus ist als Wasserstof f-Tank 19 ausgebildet . Der Wasserstof f-Tank 19 ist in den Wagenkasten-Rohbau integriert und schließt an endseitige Wagenkasten-Abschnitte 20 an, die in herkömmlicher Bauweise gefertigt sind . Hinsichtlich seiner tragenden/ statischen Eigenschaften entspricht der Wasserstof f-Tank 19 denj enigen Eigenschaften, die ein entsprechender Längsabschnitt des Wagenkastens hätte , wenn er in herkömmlicher Bauweise , d . h . in derselben Bauweise wie die Längsabschnitte 20 gefertigt worden wäre . Figur 6 zeigt einen Teil eines Gliederzugs, wobei einer der dargestellten Schienenfahrzeug-Wagen in seinem zentralen Längsabschnitt 21 als Wasserstoff-Tank 22 ausgeführt ist. Die Längserstreckung des zentral gelegenen Wasserstoff-Tanks 22 ist dabei so bemessen, dass ein ausreichender Längsabstand zu vorgesehenen Jakobs-Drehgestellen 23 vorliegt, so dass die statischen Beanspruchungen des Wasserstoff-Tanks 22 nicht zu hoch sind. Zu beiden Enden des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens 21 schließen sich in herkömmlicher Bauweise gefertigte Längsab- schnitte 24 des Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens 21 an. Die tragende Struktur des Wasserstoff-Tanks 22 ist dabei so ausgelegt, dass dieselben Anforderungen erfüllt werden, als wenn der Wasserstoff-Tank 22 in derselben Bauweise wie die Längsab- schnitte 24 hergestellt worden wäre. 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 .
Sämtlichen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen ist gemeinsam, dass der jeweilige Wasserstoff-Tank 1, 5, 13, 19, 22 mit angrenzenden Rohbauabschnitten des betreffenden Schienenfahrzeug-Wagens gefügt ist, beispielsweise durch Schweißen bei Rohbauten in Differential- oder Integralbauweise. Bei Ausführung des Wasserstoff-Tanks 1, 5, 13, 19, 22 in faserverstärktem Kunststoff (GFK, CFK) kommt zum Fügen mit angrenzenden Wagenkasten-Rohbauabschnitten aus Metall strukturelles Kleben zum Einsatz. Auch ist jeweils eine zeichnerisch nicht dargestellte Zuleitung für ein Brennstoffzelle vorgesehen. 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. When 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. A supply line (not shown in the drawing) for a fuel cell is also provided in each case.
