The inventive method for filling a pressure gas container from a gas source pressure with a high pressure for a predetermined filling time selected or calculated prior to filling and at a determined temperature consists in forming a connection in the form of a fluid passage between the source and container, in carrying out a plurality of the passage opening-closing sequences during predetermined sub-intervals of the predetermined filling time, wherein the curve of a current pressure in the container follows, according to a time, a theoretical straight line linking the pressure measured prior to filling and after thereof during the filling time, the predetermined filling time is subdivided into a number of the time sub-intervals ranging from two to several hundreds and having respective determined duration, preferably ranging from 5 and 20 seconds.

1. A method for filling a pressure gas container from a gas source at high pressure, comprising the steps of: selecting or calculating a predetermined filling time for the container at a predetermined temperature prior to filling, the container having a predefined initial internal pressure before filling and a predefined final pressure after filling, the predetermined filling time subdivided into a number of time sub-intervals;performing a plurality of openings and closings of a fluid passage between the source and the container during the predefined time sub-intervals, said time sub-intervals and the corresponding openings and closing being selected so that, during the predefined filling time, a curve of a current pressure in the container approximates during the filling time, as a function of time, a theoretical line linking a pressure measured before and after the filling. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein ends of the curve of the current pressure in the container as a function of time are substantially merged respectively with the ends of the theoretical line linking the pressures before and after the filling. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein each time sub-interval comprises a first step of opening of the passage from the start of the time sub-intervals followed by a second step of closing of the passage from the time when the current pressure in the container reaches a predefined value at least close to the pressure value given by the theoretical line at this time of filling, wherein the passage is kept closed until the end of the time sub-interval. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein time sub-intervals and the corresponding opening and closing sequences are selected so that, substantially at any given time of filling during the predefined filling time, the curve of the current pressure in the container as a function of time deviates from the theoretical line by a pressure value less than 30 bar. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the filling is exclusively controlled using the current pressure in the container. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: determining an ambient filling temperature;determining an initial internal pressure of the container before filling;selecting a quantity of gas to be introduced into the container during the filling and/or selecting a maximum allowable filling time;calculating a final pressure achievable upon filling the container as a function of the ambient filling temperature, the initial internal pressure in the container and the quantity of gas to be introduced and/or the maximum allowable time; anddetermining the filling time before filling, as a function of the ambient filling temperature, the initial internal pressure in the container and the quantity of gas to be introduced and/or the maximum allowable time. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the final pressure after filling in the container is calculated to correspond to a more severe of two conditions: a nominal filling capacity of the container or a design temperature of the container. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the openings and closings are carried out by an “on-off”-type valve without flow rate or temperature control. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the openings and closings are triggered exclusively as a function of the pressure measurement in a filling line connecting the source to the container. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein each time sub-interval comprises a first step of opening of the passage from the start of the time sub-intervals followed by a second step of closing of the passage from the time when the current pressure in the container reaches a predefined value equal to the pressure value given by the theoretical line at this time of filling, wherein the passage is kept closed until the end of the time sub-interval. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein time sub-intervals and the corresponding opening and closing sequences are selected so that, substantially at any given time of filling during the predefined filling time, the curve of the current pressure in the container as a function of time deviates from the theoretical line by a pressure value less than 10 bar. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein time sub-intervals and the corresponding opening and closing sequences are selected so that, substantially at any given time of filling during the predefined filling time, the curve of the current pressure in the container as a function of time deviates from the theoretical line by a pressure value lower than 20% of the pressure value given by the line at this time of filling. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein time sub-intervals and the corresponding opening and closing sequences are selected so that, substantially at any given time of filling during the predefined filling time, the curve of the current pressure in the container as a function of time deviates from the theoretical line by a pressure value lower than 5% of the pressure value given by the line at this time of filling.
