Stand der Technik State of the art
Die DE 10 2017 204 240 Al beschreibt eine Tankvorrichtung zur Speicherung von Wasserstoff. Gasförmiger Druckwasserstoff wird u.a. für mobile Anwendun¬ gen, bspw. in Kraftfahrzeugen mit einem Druck von 700 bar gespeichert. DE 10 2017 204 240 A1 describes a tank device for storing hydrogen. Gaseous hydrogen pressure is, inter alia, gene for mobile applicatio ¬, eg. Bar stored in motor vehicles, having a pressure of 700.
Für die Überwachung der Druckverhältnisse in der Tankvorrichtung wer¬ den typischerweise Drucksensorvorrichtungen eingesetzt, die aufgrund ih¬ res Einsatzbereichs mit Wasserstoff in Kontakt treten. Daher werden die Drucksensorvorrichtungen aus Werkstoffen hergestellt, die in der Regel keine oder nur wenig Anfälligkeit zur Wasserstoff-Versprödung aufweisen. Who used ¬ typically pressure sensor devices for monitoring pressure conditions in the tank system that come into contact with hydrogen due ih ¬ res application range. The pressure sensor devices are therefore made from materials which generally have little or no susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement.
Heutzutage werden die Sensorvorrichtungen typischerweise aus einem geeigneten Stahl gefertigt, beispielsweise aus der Klasse der Martensite. Nowadays the sensor devices are typically made of a suitable steel, for example of the martensite class.
Martensite sind kostengünstig und weisen eine hohe mechanische Festig¬ keit auf. Dennoch kann auch hier eine Wasserstoff-Versprödung auftreten, was zu einer Beschädigung der Sensorvorrichtung führen kann. Dadurch ist keine präzise Druckangabe mehr möglich, was zu einer Beeinträchtigung der Funktionsweise der Tankvorrichtung führt. Martensites are inexpensive and have a high mechanical Festig ¬ on ness. Nevertheless, hydrogen embrittlement can also occur here, which can lead to damage to the sensor device. As a result, precise pressure information is no longer possible, which leads to an impairment of the functioning of the tank device.

In this case, the sensor element 2 is aufgeglast-circuit element 4 by means of silicon wafer processes on the thread chamfer ¬. Thus achieved with a welded joint higher pressure ranges as opposed to a USAGE ¬ ¬ dung to.
Weiterhin ist die Druckbohrung 6 hier zylinderförmig ausgebildet. Furthermore, the pressure bore 6 is cylindrical here.
In den beiden Ausführungsbeispielen ist die Innenwandung 22 der Druck¬ bohrung und Teile der Außenwandung 24 mit Ausnahme des Gewindes 26 mit einer Beschichtung 12 mittels eines ALD-Prozesses (atomic layer deposition, Atomlagenabscheidung) ausgebildet. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Verfahren, das mittels chemischer Reaktionen sehr dünne Schich¬ ten eines Ausgangsmaterials auf einem Substratmaterial, hier die Innen¬ wandung 22 bzw. die Außenwandung 24, abscheidet. In the two embodiments, the inner wall 22 of the pressure ¬ bore and the outer wall 24 except for the thread 26 (, atomic layer deposition, atomic layer deposition) formed parts with a coating 12 by an ALD process. It is a method by means of chemical reactions very thin Schich ¬ th of a starting material on a substrate material, here the inner ¬ wall 22 and the outer wall 24, is deposited.
Es werden insbesondere die Stellen der Sensorvorrichtung 1 mit einer Be¬ schichtung 12 behaftet, die mit gasförmigem Medium, beispielsweise Wasserstoff, in Berührung kommen. Die Beschichtung 12 weist dabei eine Dicke von 50 nm bis 400 nm auf. So kann eine Wasserstoff- Diffusions¬ sperre erzielt werden, so dass der Wasserstoff nicht durch das Gewinde¬ anschlusselement 4 durch diffundieren kann, was zu einem Leck in der Tankvorrichtung 14 führen könnte. Die Beschichtung 12 umfasst hier Alu¬ miniumoxid (AI2O3). There are in particular the positions of the sensor device 1 with a coating 12 Be ¬ subject that come with gaseous medium, for example, hydrogen in contact. The coating 12 has a thickness of 50 nm to 400 nm. Thus, a hydrogen diffusion barrier ¬ can be achieved, so that the hydrogen not by the thread ¬ connection element 4 by diffuse can, which could lead to a leak in the tank system fourteenth The coating 12 comprises here aluminum ¬ miniumoxid (AI2O3).
Neben Aluminiumoxid (AI2O3) sind auch Beschichtungen möglich, die Chromoxid (Cr203) oder Hafniumdioxid (HfCh) umfassen. Fig.3 zeigt eine Tankvorrichtung 14 zur Speicherung von verdichteten Flu iden, insbesondere Wasserstoff, in schematischer Ansicht. Diese Tankvor richtung 14 findet beispielsweise Anwendung in Fahrzeugen mit Brenn stoffzellenantrieb. In addition to aluminum oxide (AI2O3), coatings that include chromium oxide (Cr203) or hafnium dioxide (HfCh) are also possible. 3 shows a tank device 14 for storing compressed fluids, in particular hydrogen, in a schematic view. This Tankvor device 14 is used, for example, in vehicles with fuel cell drive.
Die Tankvorrichtung 14 weist einen Tankbehälter 18 auf, in dem die Sen sorvorrichtung 1 integriert ist. Weiterhin versorgt die Tankvorrichtung 14 über eine Verbindungsleitung 20 eine Brennstoffzellenanordnung 16 mit Wasserstoff, The tank device 14 has a tank container 18 in which the sensor device 1 is integrated. Furthermore, the tank device 14 supplies a fuel cell arrangement 16 with hydrogen via a connecting line 20,
Die Anzahl der Tankbehälter 18 kann dabei beliebig gewählt werden, wo bei jeder Tankbehälter 18 jeweils eine Sensorvorrichtung 1 aufweist, durch welche der Druck und die Füllstandshöhe in dem jeweiligen Tankbehälter 18 präzise ermittelt werden kann. The number of tank containers 18 can be selected as desired, with each tank container 18 having a sensor device 1 by means of which the pressure and the fill level in the respective tank container 18 can be precisely determined.
