    摘要: Provided is a pressure vessel capable of adapting a release direction of gas in the pressure vessel (i.e., release-permitted direction) and a direction in which the gas in the pressure vessel should not be released (i.e., release-restricted direction) to an attitude of a vehicle or a surrounding environment. A release direction control unit is configured to variably change, with respect to the pressure vessel, a release direction of gas as a pressure relief valve opens, and without depending on an attitude of the pressure vessel, release the gas stored in the pressure vessel as the pressure relief valve opens (only) in the release-permitted direction set in advance with respect to a gravity direction, not in the release-restricted direction set in advance with respect to the gravity direction.

    摘要: The invention relates to a fusible link (100) for installation in a through-opening (4) in a gas tank (1000), having a tension rod (1), a guide sleeve (2) with at least one fluid-guiding duct (2a) for guiding gas out of the gas tank (1000) into the environment of the gas tank (1000), and a fusible sheath (3), wherein the guide sleeve (2) is formed in a ring around the tension rod (1) at least in some sections, and the fusible sheath (3) surrounds the guide sleeve (2) in a sheath-like manner at least in some sections, wherein the tension rod (10) has a tapered section (1a) which tapers in a direction away from the gas tank (1000) when installed in the gas tank (1000), the guide sleeve (2) has at least one predetermined breaking section (2b) which, when the fusible link (100) is installed into the through-opening (4), breaks to introduce fusible material (3a) into the at least one fluid-guiding duct (2a), as a result of which fused material (3a) from the fusible sheath (3) can pass into at least some sections of the at least one fluid-guiding duct (2a) to block a gas flow through the at least one fluid-guiding duct (2a), and the tension rod (1) and the guide sleeve (2) have a higher strength and/or temperature resistance than the fused material (3a). The invention also relates to a method for assembling a fusible link (100) and for installing same in a gas tank (1000).
