Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017076706A1] The invention relates to a device for fuelling land vehicles and watercraft with a liquefied gas, in particular liquid natural gas (LNG), serving as a fuel. A line (5) configured as a corrugated pipe is arranged between a respective fuelling device, configured as a filling point, which is correspondingly equipped in a manner known per se for the various types of motor vehicles. The line (5) has a media-channelling central pipeline (6) as medium pipe through which the fuel can be delivered from a storage tank to the respective fuelling device. The central pipeline (6) is concentrically enclosed by two further media-channelling pipelines (7, 8), with the result that two media-channelling annular spaces (9, 10) are obtained. Finally, there is additionally provided an outer jacket pipe (11) as outer pipe which encloses an annular insulating material (12) between the outer annular space (10) and the jacket pipe (11) so as to thermally insulate the line (5). Since the central pipeline (6) and the two media-channelling annular spaces (9, 10) are separated only by the wall surface of the respective pipelines (6, 7), but not thermally insulated, heat is removed from the medium channelled in the annular spaces (9, 10) by the fuel channelled in the central pipeline (6) and said medium is correspondingly cooled.
