Abstract

Described is a method of charging a sorption store with a gas. The sorption store comprises a closed container which is at least partly filled with an adsorption medium and has an inlet and an outlet which can each be closed by a shut-off element. The method comprises the steps: (a) closing of the outlet shut-off element and opening of the inlet shut-off element, (b) introduction of gas to be stored under a predetermined pressure through the inlet, (c) rapid opening of the outlet shut-off element with the inlet shut-off element open so that a gas flow having a predetermined flow rate is established in the container, (d) reduction of the flow rate as a function of the adsorption rate of the gas adsorbed in the store, and (e) complete closing of the outlet shut-off element.
