Abstract

A tank assembly includes a tank, at least one pressure relief valve, at least one heat transmission path, and at least one heat transmission element. The at least one pressure relief valve is configured to allow a pressure relief of the tank when a temperature threshold value at the pressure relief valve is exceeded. The heat transmission path and the pressure relief valve are connected via the at least one heat transmission element. The heat transmission element is changeable with respect to the heat transmission between the heat transmission path and the pressure relief valve.
