Abstract
The invention relates to a tank device (1) for a gaseous medium, comprising a valve device (2) and a tank (10), wherein the valve device (2) has a valve housing (20) with a longitudinal axis (11). The valve housing (20) is equipped with an inner chamber (7), in which a main valve element (16) is arranged in a movable manner along the longitudinal axis (11), said main valve element (16) interacting with a first valve seat (40) and thus forming a main valve (43). An actuation valve element (18) which can be moved along the longitudinal axis (11) is arranged coaxially to the main valve element (16), said actuation valve element (18) interacting with a second valve seat (41) in order to open and close an inlet opening (160) and thus forming an actuation valve (44). The valve device (2) additionally comprises a magnet coil (14). Furthermore, the inlet opening (28) is arranged in the valve housing (20) coaxially to an outlet opening (30), whereby the gaseous medium can flow against the valve device (2) or a away therefrom axially to the longitudinal axis (11), and the magnet coil (14) is arranged in the valve housing (20) and surrounds the main valve element (16) and the actuation valve …
