1. A pressure vessel, comprising at least:
a vessel body having an opening,
wherein an end region of the vessel body is integrally formed at an upper end of the vessel body having a body wall, and
a valve disposed in the end region,
characterized in that
at least two outflow openings are formed in the body wall surrounding the opening of the end region below the opening,
in an outflow position of the valve, the outflow openings are fluidically connected via the valve to a body interior of the vessel body and the opening of the end region is closed in a media-tight manner, and
in a filling position of the valve, the opening of the end region is fluidically connected via the valve to the body interior of the vessel body;
characterized in that the two outflow openings are arranged opposite one another; and
characterized in that the valve has a valve body with a passage opening in which a valve plunger is arranged, which in a closed valve position of the valve closes the passage opening in a media-tight manner and in the outflow position and in the filling position of the valve opens the passage opening.
