Device for storing compressed fluids

[0030] exist figure 1 A schematic diagram of the modular construction of the device 10 for storing compressed fluid consisting of tank modules is shown in . The device 10 consists of a series of tank modules 13 made of metal. The individual tank modules 13 can be produced from tubular semi-finished products. The tank modules 13 can be arranged as a stack on top of each other or next to each other and can be produced in any desired length. The tank module 13 is connected via at least one high-pressure fuel distributor 14 to at least one integrated control and safety technology device 15 .

[0031] figure 2 A schematic view of a vehicle 12 is shown with a device 10 for storing compressed fluid, which is made up of tank modules 13 and is installed transversely in the vehicle floor. In this vehicle 12 , the tank module 13 is arranged transversely to the direction of travel of the vehicle 12 . The arrangement of the tank module 13 below the passenger compartment of the vehicle 1
