Description

本開示は、高圧ガス貯蔵システムに関する。 This disclosure relates to a high pressure gas storage system.

燃料電池車両には、水素ガス等の高圧ガスを貯蔵するタンクが複数搭載される場合がある。このようなタンクには、ガスステーションから高圧ガスが充填される。その際、各タンクに予め設置されたセンサによって各タンク内に充填されたガスの温度を測定し、また、ガスステーション側において供給されるガスの圧力を測定し、これらの測定値に応じて各タンクへの高圧ガスの充填が完了したか否かを判定する高圧ガス充填方法が知られている（特許文献１）。 Fuel cell vehicles may be equipped with multiple tanks for storing high-pressure gas such as hydrogen gas. These tanks are filled with high-pressure gas from a gas station. A high-pressure gas filling method is known in which a sensor installed in advance in each tank measures the temperature of the gas filled in each tank, and the gas station measures the pressure of the gas being supplied, and determines whether or not filling of each tank with high-pressure gas has been completed based on these measured values (Patent Document 1).

特開２０１７－５３４５８号公報JP 2017-53458 A

しかしながら、全てのタンクにセンサを設置すると、高圧ガス貯蔵システムの製造コストが増大するという問題がある。 However, installing sensors in every tank would increase the manufacturing costs of the high-pressure gas storage system.

本開示は、以下の形態として実現することが可能である。
［形態１］ガス充填装置から充填される高圧ガスを貯蔵する高圧ガス貯蔵システムであって、互いに容積が同じである複数のタンクと、前記複数のタンクが互いに並列に接続される共通ガス充填路であって、前記複数のタンクに供給される前記高圧ガスが流れる共通ガス充填路と、を備え、前記複数のタンクのうち、前記共通ガス充填路において前記高圧ガスが流入する流入口から最も近いタンクを少なくとも含み、前記複数のタンクの総数よりも少ない本数のタンクに、前記タンク内の温度を測定する温度センサが設けられており、
前記複数のタンクのうち、前記流入口から最も遠いタンクに、前記温度センサが設けられている、高圧ガス貯蔵システム。 The present disclosure can be realized in the following forms.
[Mode 1] A high-pressure gas storage system for storing high-pressure gas filled from a gas filling device, comprising: a plurality of tanks each having the same volume; and a common gas filling line through which the plurality of tanks are connected in parallel to each other and through which the high-pressure gas supplied to the plurality of tanks flows; the common gas filling line includes at least one of the plurality of tanks that is closest to an inlet through which the high-pressure gas flows in the common gas filling line; and a number of tanks less than the total number of the plurality of tanks are provided with temperature sensors for measuring temperatures within the tanks;
A high-pressure gas storage system, wherein the temperature sensor is provided in a tank among the plurality of tanks that is furthest from the inlet.

（１）本開示の一形態によれば、高圧ガス貯蔵システムが提供される。この高圧ガス貯蔵システムは、ガス充填装置から充填される高圧ガスを貯蔵する高圧ガス貯蔵システムであって、互いに容積が同じである複数のタンクと、前記複数のタンクが互いに並列に接続される共通ガス充填路であって、前記複数のタンクに供給される前記高圧ガスが流れる共通ガス充填路と、を備え、前記複数のタンクのうち、前記共通ガス充填路において前記高圧ガスが流入する流入口から最も近いタンクを少なくとも含み、前記複数のタンクの総数よりも少ない本数のタンクに、前記タンク内の温度を測定する温度センサが設けられている。
この形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システムによれば、搭載された複数のタンクの総数よりも少ない数の温度センサを備えるので、全てのタンクに温度センサが設けられている構成に比べて、高圧ガス貯蔵システムの製造コストの増大を抑制できる。加えて、流入口から最も近く高圧ガスの密度が最も高くなるタンクに少なくとも温度センサが設けられているので、かかる温度センサにより測定される温度を監視することにより、高圧ガスの充填率が予め定められた充填率よりも高くなることを抑制できる。
（２）上記実施形態において、前記複数のタンクは、それぞれの中心軸が互いに平行となるように並列して配置されてもよい。
この形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システムによれば、複数のタンクをそれぞれの中心軸が互いに平行となるように並列して配置することにより、タンクの配置に要するスペースを小さくでき、高圧ガス貯蔵システムの配置自由度の低下を抑制できる。
（３）上記実施形態において、前記複数のタンクのうち、前記流入口から最も近いタンクのみに、前記温度センサが設けられてもよい。
この形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システムによれば、流入口から最も近いタンクのみが温度センサを備えるので、高圧ガス貯蔵システムの製造コストの増大をより抑制できる。
（４）上記実施形態において、前記複数のタンクのうち、前記流入口から最も遠いタンクに、前記温度センサを設けられてもよい。
この形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システムによれば、流入口から最も遠く高圧ガスの温度が最も高くなるタンクに温度センサが設けられているので、かかる温度センサにより測定される温度を監視することにより、高圧ガスの温度が過度に高くなることを抑制できる。
（５）上記実施形態において、前記流入口には、前記ガス充填装置が有する充填ノズルが接続され、前記温度センサにより測定された温度を示す情報を、前記ガス充填装置に通知するための通信装置を、さらに備えてもよい。
この形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システムによれば、温度センサにより測定された温度が過度に高くなった場合に、かかる温度情報をガス充填装置へ通知できる。ガス充填装置は、受け取った温度情報を利用して、高圧ガスの供給量の制御および供給停止を行うことができるので、高圧ガス貯蔵システムの安全性の低下を抑制できる。 (1) According to one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a high-pressure gas storage system for storing high-pressure gas filled from a gas filling device, the high-pressure gas storage system comprising: a plurality of tanks having the same volume; and a common gas filling path through which the plurality of tanks are connected in parallel to each other and through which the high-pressure gas supplied to the plurality of tanks flows, the common gas filling path including at least a tank among the plurality of tanks that is closest to an inlet through which the high-pressure gas flows in the common gas filling path, and a number of tanks less than the total number of the plurality of tanks are provided with temperature sensors for measuring temperatures inside the tanks.
According to this form of high-pressure gas storage system, since the number of temperature sensors is less than the total number of the installed tanks, the increase in manufacturing cost of the high-pressure gas storage system can be suppressed compared to a configuration in which a temperature sensor is provided in every tank. In addition, since at least the temperature sensor is provided in the tank closest to the inlet where the density of the high-pressure gas is the highest, the filling rate of the high-pressure gas can be suppressed from becoming higher than a predetermined filling rate by monitoring the temperature measured by the temperature sensor.
(2) In the above embodiment, the multiple tanks may be arranged in parallel with each other such that their central axes are parallel to each other.
According to this form of high-pressure gas storage system, by arranging multiple tanks in parallel with their respective central axes parallel to each other, the space required for arranging the tanks can be reduced, and a reduction in the freedom of arrangement of the high-pressure gas storage system can be suppressed.
(3) In the above embodiment, the temperature sensor may be provided only in a tank that is closest to the inlet among the plurality of tanks.
According to this form of high-pressure gas storage system, only the tank closest to the inlet is equipped with a temperature sensor, so that increases in the manufacturing costs of the high-pressure gas storage system can be further suppressed.
(4) In the above embodiment, the temperature sensor may be provided in a tank among the plurality of tanks that is farthest from the inlet.
In this form of high-pressure gas storage system, a temperature sensor is provided in the tank which is farthest from the inlet and where the temperature of the high-pressure gas is the highest. By monitoring the temperature measured by this temperature sensor, the temperature of the high-pressure gas can be prevented from becoming excessively high.
(5) In the above embodiment, a filling nozzle of the gas filling device may be connected to the inlet, and the gas filling device may further include a communication device for notifying the gas filling device of information indicating the temperature measured by the temperature sensor.
According to this embodiment of the high-pressure gas storage system, when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor becomes excessively high, the temperature information can be notified to the gas filling device.

Ａ．第１実施形態：
図１は、第１実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０の概略構成を示す説明図である。本実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０は、水素ステーション２０から供給される水素ガスを貯蔵するシステムである。高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０は、例えば、燃料電池を駆動源とする燃料電池車両に搭載されて、貯蔵した水素ガスを燃料電池の燃料ガスとして供給する。なお、水素ステーション２０は、本開示における「ガス充填装置」に相当する。 A. First embodiment:
1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a high-pressure gas storage system 10 of the first embodiment. The high-pressure gas storage system 10 of this embodiment is a system that stores hydrogen gas supplied from a hydrogen station 20. The high-pressure gas storage system 10 is mounted, for example, on a fuel cell vehicle that uses a fuel cell as a drive source, and supplies the stored hydrogen gas as fuel gas for the fuel cell. The hydrogen station 20 corresponds to the "gas filling device" in this disclosure.

水素ステーション２０は、貯蔵タンク２１０と、圧縮機２２０と、送出バルブ２３０と、プレクーラー２４０と、充填ノズル２５０と、受信機２６０と、ステーションコントローラ２７０とを備える。 The hydrogen station 20 includes a storage tank 210, a compressor 220, a delivery valve 230, a precooler 240, a filling nozzle 250, a receiver 260, and a station controller 270.

貯蔵タンク２１０は、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０に供給するための水素ガスを貯蔵している。圧縮機２２０は貯蔵タンク２１０に貯蔵されている水素ガスを圧縮し、水素ガスの昇圧速度を調整する。送出バルブ２３０は、バルブの開閉度を変化させることにより、圧縮機２２０から送出される水素ガスの送出や遮断を行い、水素ガスの送出量の調整および送出停止を行う。プレクーラー２４０は、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０への水素ガス供給時における水素ガスの過剰な温度上昇を抑制するために、水素ガスを氷点下に冷却する。プレクーラー２４０により冷却された水素ガスは、充填ノズル２５０を通って高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０へ供給される。また、プレクーラー２４０と充填ノズル２５０とをつなぐ配管には、送出される水素ガスの圧力を測定する圧力センサＰが設けられている。圧力センサＰにより取得された圧力情報は、ステーションコントローラ２７０へ送信される。 The storage tank 210 stores hydrogen gas to be supplied to the high-pressure gas storage system 10. The compressor 220 compresses the hydrogen gas stored in the storage tank 210 and adjusts the rate at which the hydrogen gas is pressurized. The delivery valve 230 changes the opening and closing degree of the valve to deliver or block the hydrogen gas delivered from the compressor 220, and adjusts the amount of hydrogen gas delivered and stops the delivery. The precooler 240 cools the hydrogen gas below freezing point to suppress excessive temperature rise of the hydrogen gas when it is supplied to the high-pressure gas storage system 10. The hydrogen gas cooled by the precooler 240 is supplied to the high-pressure gas storage system 10 through the filling nozzle 250. In addition, a pressure sensor P that measures the pressure of the hydrogen gas delivered is provided in the piping connecting the precooler 240 and the filling nozzle 250. The pressure information acquired by the pressure sensor P is transmitted to the station controller 270.

ステーションコントローラ２７０は、ＳＡＥ規格により規定された温度（８５℃）および充填率（１００％）を超えない昇圧速度および送出量となるように、圧縮機２２０および送出バルブ２３０を制御する。また、ステーションコントローラ２７０は、上述した圧力情報に加えて、受信機２６０を介して、後述する、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０から送られてくる温度情報を取得する。ステーションコントローラ２７０は、これら取得した情報を利用して、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０における水素の充填率を算出する。ステーションコントローラ２７０は、充填率が予め設定された値に達した場合、送出バルブ２３０を制御して水素ガスの送出を停止する。 The station controller 270 controls the compressor 220 and the delivery valve 230 so that the pressure increase rate and delivery amount do not exceed the temperature (85°C) and filling rate (100%) specified by the SAE standard. In addition to the pressure information described above, the station controller 270 also acquires temperature information sent from the high-pressure gas storage system 10, which will be described later, via the receiver 260. The station controller 270 uses this acquired information to calculate the hydrogen filling rate in the high-pressure gas storage system 10. When the filling rate reaches a preset value, the station controller 270 controls the delivery valve 230 to stop the delivery of hydrogen gas.

高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０は、レセプタクル１１０と、マニホールド１２０と、タンク１３１～１４０と、通信充填ＥＣＵ１５０と、発信機１６０とを備える。 The high-pressure gas storage system 10 includes a receptacle 110, a manifold 120, tanks 131-140, a communication filling ECU 150, and a transmitter 160.

レセプタクル１１０は充填ノズル２５０と接続し、充填ノズル２５０から供給される水素ガスを高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０へ流入させる。レセプタクル１１０はマニホールド１２０が有する流入口１２１と接続し、レセプタクル１１０からマニホールド１２０へ水素ガスを流入させる。 The receptacle 110 is connected to the filling nozzle 250, and allows hydrogen gas supplied from the filling nozzle 250 to flow into the high-pressure gas storage system 10. The receptacle 110 is connected to the inlet 121 of the manifold 120, and allows hydrogen gas to flow from the receptacle 110 to the manifold 120.

マニホールド１２０は、内部に共通ガス充填路１２２を有する。共通ガス充填路１２２の一方の端部は流入口１２１と接続されており、流入口１２１から流入した水素ガスは共通ガス充填路１２２内を流れる。共通ガス充填路１２２の他方の端部は複数に分岐しており、分岐した各端部において、共通ガス充填路１２２はタンク１３１～１４０と接続されている。このように、タンク１３１～１４０は、レセプタクル１１０とマニホールド１２０とを介して水素ステーション２０と接続され、水素ガスを供給される。 The manifold 120 has a common gas filling passage 122 inside. One end of the common gas filling passage 122 is connected to the inlet 121, and hydrogen gas flowing in from the inlet 121 flows through the common gas filling passage 122. The other end of the common gas filling passage 122 branches into multiple paths, and at each branched end, the common gas filling passage 122 is connected to the tanks 131 to 140. In this way, the tanks 131 to 140 are connected to the hydrogen station 20 via the receptacle 110 and the manifold 120, and are supplied with hydrogen gas.

タンク１３１～１４０は、タンク１３１から順に、各タンク１３１と共通ガス充填路１２２との接続部Ｊ１～Ｊ１０と流入口１２１との距離が遠くなるように配置されている。また、各タンク１３１～１４０は、それぞれの中心軸が互いに平行となるように並列して配置されている。 Tanks 131-140 are arranged, starting from tank 131, such that the distance between the inlet 121 and the connection points J1-J10 between each tank 131 and the common gas filling path 122 increases. In addition, tanks 131-140 are arranged in parallel such that their central axes are parallel to each other.

タンク１３１～１４０はそれぞれ、ＳＡＥＪ２６０１により規定されている仕様に従うように製造されている。本実施形態では、タンク１３１～１４０はそれぞれ、直径１００ｍｍ、長さ１８００ｍｍの同一の外形形状を有し、その容積は互いに同じである。このような形状のタンク１３１～１４０を並列して配置した高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０の外形形状は、一般に電気自動車に搭載されるバッテリーと同程度の大きさであるので、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０の配置自由度の低下が抑制される。これにより、従来、燃料電池自動車専用に設計されていた車体形状を、電気自動車と共用可能に設計することが可能になる。 Each of the tanks 131-140 is manufactured to comply with the specifications set forth by SAEJ2601. In this embodiment, each of the tanks 131-140 has the same external shape, with a diameter of 100 mm and a length of 1800 mm, and their volumes are the same. The external shape of the high-pressure gas storage system 10, in which the tanks 131-140 of this shape are arranged in parallel, is approximately the same size as a battery typically installed in an electric vehicle, so that the reduction in the freedom of arrangement of the high-pressure gas storage system 10 is suppressed. This makes it possible to design a vehicle body shape that was previously designed exclusively for fuel cell vehicles to be compatible with electric vehicles.

本実施形態では、タンク１３１～１４０のうち、流入口１２１に最も近いタンク１３１のみが温度センサＴ１を備える。図２は、タンク１３１内における温度センサＴ１の設置位置を示す断面図である。本実施形態では、図２に示すように、温度センサＴ１は、タンク１３１の内部において接続部Ｊ１に対向する端部に設置されている。 In this embodiment, of the tanks 131-140, only the tank 131 closest to the inlet 121 is equipped with a temperature sensor T1. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the installation position of the temperature sensor T1 inside the tank 131. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the temperature sensor T1 is installed inside the tank 131 at the end opposite the connection part J1.

温度センサＴ１は、タンク１３１内の温度を測定する。温度センサＴ１は、測定したタンク１３１内の温度情報を通信充填ＥＣＵ１５０に送信する。通信充填ＥＣＵ１５０は、受信した温度情報を、発信機１６０を介して水素ステーション２０へ送信する。また、温度センサＴ１が過度な温度上昇を検知した場合には、通信充填ＥＣＵ１５０は、水素ガスの供給停止を要求するアボート信号を水素ステーション２０へ発信してもよい。本実施形態では、発信機１６０と上述の受信機２６０とは、赤外線通信装置として構成されている。なお、発信機１６０と受信機２６０とはこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば、互いに信号線により接続された通信装置として構成されていてもよい。 The temperature sensor T1 measures the temperature inside the tank 131. The temperature sensor T1 transmits the measured temperature information inside the tank 131 to the communication filling ECU 150. The communication filling ECU 150 transmits the received temperature information to the hydrogen station 20 via the transmitter 160. Furthermore, if the temperature sensor T1 detects an excessive rise in temperature, the communication filling ECU 150 may transmit an abort signal to the hydrogen station 20 requesting that the supply of hydrogen gas be stopped. In this embodiment, the transmitter 160 and the above-mentioned receiver 260 are configured as infrared communication devices. Note that the transmitter 160 and the receiver 260 are not limited to this, and may be configured, for example, as communication devices connected to each other by a signal line.

本実施形態では、タンク１３１は流入口１２１から最も近いため、タンク１３１へ流入する水素ガスの流速は、他のタンク１３２～１４０へ流入する水素ガスに比べて速い。圧損は流速が速いほど大きくなるので、タンク１３１への水素ガスの充填圧力は、他のタンク１３２～１４０へ供給される水素ガスの充填圧力に比べて小さくなる。水素ガスは、タンクに供給される際に断熱圧縮されることによりガス温度が上昇する。充填圧力が小さいほど断熱圧縮による温度上昇の度合いは小さくなるので、タンク１３１へ供給される水素ガスの温度は、他のタンク１３２～１４０へ供給される水素ガスの温度に比べて低くなる。このため、タンク１３１へ供給される水素ガスの密度は、他のタンク１３２～１４０へ供給される水素ガスの密度に比べて高くなる。したがって、タンク１３１における水素ガスの充填率が規定の充填率を超えていなければ、他のタンク１３２～１４０においても規定の充填率を超えていないといえる。そのため、少なくともタンク１３１に温度センサＴ１を設けて温度を監視することにより、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０全体において、水素ガスの充填率が予め定められた充填率よりも高くなることを抑制できる。 In this embodiment, since the tank 131 is closest to the inlet 121, the flow rate of the hydrogen gas flowing into the tank 131 is faster than that of the hydrogen gas flowing into the other tanks 132 to 140. Since the pressure loss increases as the flow rate increases, the filling pressure of the hydrogen gas into the tank 131 is smaller than the filling pressure of the hydrogen gas supplied to the other tanks 132 to 140. The hydrogen gas is adiabatically compressed when supplied to the tank, and the gas temperature increases. The smaller the filling pressure, the smaller the degree of temperature increase due to adiabatic compression, so the temperature of the hydrogen gas supplied to the tank 131 is lower than that of the hydrogen gas supplied to the other tanks 132 to 140. Therefore, the density of the hydrogen gas supplied to the tank 131 is higher than that of the hydrogen gas supplied to the other tanks 132 to 140. Therefore, if the filling rate of the hydrogen gas in the tank 131 does not exceed the specified filling rate, it can be said that the filling rate of the other tanks 132 to 140 does not exceed the specified filling rate either. Therefore, by providing a temperature sensor T1 at least in tank 131 and monitoring the temperature, it is possible to prevent the hydrogen gas filling rate in the entire high-pressure gas storage system 10 from becoming higher than a predetermined filling rate.

以上説明した高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０によれば、タンク１３１のみが温度センサＴ１を備えるので、タンク１３１～１４０のすべてに温度センサが設けられている構成に比べて、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０の製造コストの増大を抑制できる。加えて、流入口１２１から最も近く水素ガスの密度が最も高くなるタンク１３１に温度センサＴ１が設けられているので、温度センサＴ１により測定される温度を監視することにより、水素ガスの充填率が予め定められた充填率よりも高くなることを抑制できる。 According to the high-pressure gas storage system 10 described above, only the tank 131 is equipped with the temperature sensor T1, so the increase in manufacturing costs of the high-pressure gas storage system 10 can be suppressed compared to a configuration in which a temperature sensor is provided in all of the tanks 131 to 140. In addition, since the temperature sensor T1 is provided in the tank 131, which is closest to the inlet 121 and has the highest hydrogen gas density, by monitoring the temperature measured by the temperature sensor T1, it is possible to prevent the hydrogen gas filling rate from becoming higher than a predetermined filling rate.

また、タンク１３１～１４０をそれぞれの中心軸が互いに平行となるように並列して配置することにより、タンク１３１～１４０の配置に要するスペースを小さくでき、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０の配置自由度の低下を抑制できる。 In addition, by arranging the tanks 131 to 140 in parallel with their respective central axes parallel to each other, the space required for arranging the tanks 131 to 140 can be reduced, and a reduction in the degree of freedom in arranging the high-pressure gas storage system 10 can be suppressed.

また、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０は発信機１６０を備えるので、温度センサＴ１により測定された温度が過度に高くなった場合に、かかる温度情報を水素ステーション２０へ通知できる。水素ステーション２０は、受け取った温度情報を利用して、水素ガスの供給量の制御や供給停止を実行できるので、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０の安全性の低下を抑制できる。 In addition, since the high-pressure gas storage system 10 is equipped with a transmitter 160, if the temperature measured by the temperature sensor T1 becomes excessively high, the temperature information can be notified to the hydrogen station 20. The hydrogen station 20 can use the received temperature information to control the amount of hydrogen gas supplied or stop the supply, thereby preventing a decrease in the safety of the high-pressure gas storage system 10.

Ｂ．第２実施形態
図３は、第２実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０Ａの概略構成を示す説明図である。図３に示すように、第２実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０Ａは、タンク１３１に設置された温度センサＴ１に加えてタンク１４０に温度センサＴ２を備える点で、第１実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０とは異なる。なお、第２実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０Ａのその他の構成は、第１実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０と同じであるので、同一の構成には同一の符号を付し、その詳細な説明を省略する。 B. Second embodiment Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the schematic configuration of a high-pressure gas storage system 10A of the second embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3, the high-pressure gas storage system 10A of the second embodiment is different from the high-pressure gas storage system 10 of the first embodiment in that the tank 140 is provided with a temperature sensor T2 in addition to the temperature sensor T1 installed in the tank 131. The other configurations of the high-pressure gas storage system 10A of the second embodiment are the same as those of the high-pressure gas storage system 10 of the first embodiment, so the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

温度センサＴ２は、図２に示すタンク１３１内における温度センサＴ１の設置位置と同様に、タンク１４０の内部において接続部Ｊ１０に対向する端部に配置されている。温度センサＴ２は、タンク１４０内の温度を測定する。温度センサＴ２により測定された温度情報は、温度センサＴ１により測定された温度情報と同様に、通信充填ＥＣＵ１５０および発信機１６０を介して、水素ステーション２０へ送信される。 The temperature sensor T2 is disposed inside the tank 140 at an end opposite the connection part J10, similar to the installation position of the temperature sensor T1 inside the tank 131 shown in FIG. 2. The temperature sensor T2 measures the temperature inside the tank 140. The temperature information measured by the temperature sensor T2 is transmitted to the hydrogen station 20 via the communication filling ECU 150 and the transmitter 160, similar to the temperature information measured by the temperature sensor T1.

図３に示すように、タンク１４０は流入口１２１から最も遠いため、タンク１４０へ流入する水素ガスの流速は、他のタンク１３１～１３９へ流入する水素ガスに比べて遅い。そのため圧損が小さくなり、タンク１４０への水素ガスの充填圧力は、他のタンク１３１～１３９へ供給される水素ガスの充填圧力に比べて大きくなる。充填圧力が大きいほど断熱圧縮による温度上昇の度合いは大きくなるので、タンク１４０へ供給される水素ガスの温度は、他のタンク１３１～１３９へ供給される水素ガスの温度に比べて高くなる。したがって、タンク１４０内の温度が規定の温度を超えていなければ、他のタンク１３１～１３９内の温度も規定の温度を超えていないといえる。そのため、タンク１４０に温度センサＴ２を設けて温度を監視することにより、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０Ａ全体において、水素ガスの温度が過度に高くなることを抑制できる。 As shown in FIG. 3, since tank 140 is the furthest from inlet 121, the flow rate of hydrogen gas flowing into tank 140 is slower than that of hydrogen gas flowing into the other tanks 131 to 139. This reduces pressure loss, and the filling pressure of hydrogen gas into tank 140 is higher than that of hydrogen gas supplied to the other tanks 131 to 139. The higher the filling pressure, the greater the degree of temperature rise due to adiabatic compression, so the temperature of hydrogen gas supplied to tank 140 is higher than that of hydrogen gas supplied to the other tanks 131 to 139. Therefore, if the temperature in tank 140 does not exceed the specified temperature, it can be said that the temperatures in the other tanks 131 to 139 do not exceed the specified temperature. Therefore, by providing temperature sensor T2 in tank 140 to monitor the temperature, it is possible to prevent the temperature of hydrogen gas from becoming excessively high throughout the high-pressure gas storage system 10A.

以上説明した第２実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０Ａによれば、第１実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０と同様の効果を奏する。加えて、流入口１２１から最も遠く水素ガスの温度が最も高くなるタンク１４０に温度センサＴ２が設けられているので、温度センサＴ２により測定される温度を監視することにより、水素ガスの温度が過度に高くなることを抑制できる。 The high-pressure gas storage system 10A of the second embodiment described above has the same effects as the high-pressure gas storage system 10 of the first embodiment. In addition, the temperature sensor T2 is provided in the tank 140, which is the furthest from the inlet 121 and where the temperature of the hydrogen gas is the highest, and by monitoring the temperature measured by the temperature sensor T2, it is possible to prevent the temperature of the hydrogen gas from becoming excessively high.

Ｃ．他の実施形態
（Ｃ１）上記第１実施形態において、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０は、温度センサを１つのみ備えるが、本開示はこれに限定されない。高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０において、少なくともタンク１３１を含み、タンク１３１～１４０の総数よりも少ない任意の本数のタンクに温度センサが設けられてもよい。かかる形態においても、タンク１３１～１４０のすべてに温度センサを設置する場合に比べて、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０の製造コストの増大を抑制できる。 C. Other embodiment (C1) In the first embodiment, the high-pressure gas storage system 10 includes only one temperature sensor, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. In the high-pressure gas storage system 10, a temperature sensor may be provided in any number of tanks including at least the tank 131, which number is less than the total number of the tanks 131 to 140. Even in this embodiment, the increase in manufacturing costs of the high-pressure gas storage system 10 can be suppressed compared to the case where a temperature sensor is provided in all of the tanks 131 to 140.

（Ｃ２）上記実施形態において、タンク１３１～１４０は、タンク１３１から順に、流入口１２１から共通ガス充填路１２２との接続部Ｊ１～Ｊ１０までの距離が遠くなるように、並列して配置されているが、本開示はこれに限定されない。図４は、他の実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０Ｂの概略構成を示す説明図である。図４に示すように、高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０Ｂにおいて、タンク１３１～１４０は、流入口１２１Ｂに対して対称的に配置されてもよい。かかる構成でおいても、流入口１２１Ｂから最も近いタンク１３５とタンク１３６との少なくともいずれかのタンク１３１に温度センサＴ１を設置することにより、第１実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０と同様の効果を奏する。図４に示す例では、タンク１３６が温度センサＴ１を備える。また、流入口１２１Ｂから最も遠いタンク１３１とタンク１４０との少なくともいずれかのタンク１３１に温度センサＴ２を設置することにより、第２実施形態の高圧ガス貯蔵システム１０Ａと同様の効果を奏する。図４に示す例では、タンク１３１が温度センサＴ２を備える。 (C2) In the above embodiment, the tanks 131 to 140 are arranged in parallel in order from the tank 131 so that the distance from the inlet 121 to the connection parts J1 to J10 with the common gas filling path 122 increases, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of a high-pressure gas storage system 10B of another embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, in the high-pressure gas storage system 10B, the tanks 131 to 140 may be arranged symmetrically with respect to the inlet 121B. Even in such a configuration, by installing a temperature sensor T1 in at least one of the tanks 131, the tank 135 and the tank 136, which are closest to the inlet 121B, the same effect as the high-pressure gas storage system 10 of the first embodiment can be achieved. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the tank 136 is equipped with a temperature sensor T1. In addition, by installing a temperature sensor T2 in at least one of the tanks 131, the tank 131 and the tank 140, which are farthest from the inlet 121B, the same effect as the high-pressure gas storage system 10A of the second embodiment can be achieved. In the example shown in FIG. 4, tank 131 is equipped with temperature sensor T2.
