3.1
main shut-off valve
valve used to shut off the supply of hydrogen gas downstream from a hydrogen storage cylinder
[Source: GB/T 24549-2020, 3.1, modified]
3.2
enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces
space inside the vehicle that may be exposed to the hydrogen storage cylinder and an environmental space or area where hydrogen gas may accumulate
Note: For example, the passenger compartment, luggage compartment, cargo compartment or the space under the front hatch cover are enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces.
[Source: GB/T 24549-2020, 3.4, modified]
3.3
nominal working pressure; NWP
limited charging pressure at which the gas pressure inside the hydrogen storage cylinder reaches a completely stable state at the reference temperature (15°C)
[Source: GB/T 24549-2020, 3.5, modified]
3.4
compressed hydrogen storage system; CHSS
device for storing hydrogen in a fuel cell vehicle consisting of a hydrogen storage cylinder (group), a safety pressure relief device, and a closing device for isolating the stored hydrogen from the rest of the fuel system and its environment
Note: See the thick line part specified in Figure 1.
