Abstract:
Multi-lobe tank for containing pressurized liquids, such as liquefied gas, for mounting into a ships hull, wherein the tank comprises at least a first longitudinally extending multi-lobe tank part having a center line and a second longitudinally extending multi-lobe tank part having a center line that are positioned behind each other resulting in a forward multi-lobe tank part and a rear multi-lobe tank part with aligned center lines, wherein the first part can tapered towards an end of the first part.
Abstract:
The vessel of a heat storage and release apparatus is provided with a shell made of metallic material with an internal cavity for containing a heat storage and release device and for guiding gas-flow, a first opening through the shell for a flow of gas at high temperature and high pressure in and out of the cavity, a second opening through the shell for a flow of gas at low temperature and high pressure in and out of the cavity, and a lining of thermally insulating material covering only partially the internal surface of the cavity; the lining is located at least in the region where the first opening is located, i.e., where the temperature is higher; in this way, the temperature of the shell can be controlled. Such heat storage and release apparatus can be provided in an energy production plant as a component of an energy storage and release system to be used for compensating differences between energy produced and energy demanded.
Abstract:
The present application provides a compressed gas cylinder stand (100) for use with a compressed gas cylinder (10). The compressed gas cylinder stand (100) may include a solid body (180) with a cone-like shape (110) and an aperture (140) through the solid body (180). The aperture (140) may be sized to accommodate the compressed gas cylinder (10).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an independent vessel tank system for storing liquid gas. The system comprises a first tank member (1), a second, cylindrical tank member (2) connected to the first tank member (1) and a third tank member (3) connected to the second tank member (2), where the first, second and third tank members (1, 2, 3) provide a tank device for the liquid gas. A first supporting device (5) is provided between the third tank member (3) and a hull of the vessel, for supporting the weight of the tank device. A second supporting device (4) is at least partially provided along the periphery of the tank device, for supporting the tank device to the hull of the vessel.
Abstract:
An orientation independent delivery device. The delivery device includes a gas chamber, a delivery chamber, a gas cell, and a delivery aperture. The gas chamber includes a gas-side rigid portion and a gas-side flexible barrier. The gas-side flexible barrier is sealed to the gas-side rigid portion. The delivery chamber includes a delivery-side rigid portion and a delivery-side flexible barrier. The delivery-side flexible barrier is sealed to the delivery-side rigid portion and is oriented adjacent to the gas-side flexible barrier. The gas cell is coupled to the gas-side rigid portion of the gas chamber. The gas cell increases a gas pressure within the gas chamber to expand the gas-side flexible barrier. Expansion of the gas-side flexible barrier applies a compressive force to the delivery-side flexible barrier allowing a delivery material to escape from the delivery chamber.
Abstract:
A multilayered pressure vessel (10) fabricated from at least one single ply sheet of flexible material (100) having an approximate longitudinal midline which divides the material into an inner portion (130) having an inner surface, an outer surface, an edge, a seam allowance, and a width, and an outer portion having an inner surface, an outer surface, an edge, a seam allowance, and a width. The width of the outer portion (120) is greater than the width of the inner portion (140). A primary seam (250) binds the outer portion and the inner portion to the material sheet at the midline proximate the outer portion edge and inner portion edge. The sheet (100) is wrapped into a continuous substantially 720 degree wrap to form a generally cylindrical vessel body having possible multiple fluid passageways, at the election of the user. The primary seam (250) is concealed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (10) for storing pressurized gas, comprising a plurality of storage tanks (11) which each have a tank wall (12) which encloses a hollow space (15) intended for the storage of the pressurized gas. The storage tanks (11) are connected to each other and have at least one connection for introducing and/or discharging the pressurized gas. To configure the storage tanks (11) such that they are as stable as possible each storage tank (11) has preferably one covering layer (16) which is positioned on the tank wall (12) at least in partial areas of every storage tank (11). In addition, to allow for the individual adjustment of the geometrical structure of the device (10) to the spaces available and to the quantity of gas to be stored, every storage tank (11) has an upper part (20) which is joined to the tank wall (12) and the storage tanks (11) are or can be connected with each other in a modular manner by means of these upper parts (20). The pressurized gas is withdrawn from the storage tanks (11) through a flow channel (24) provided for in the upper parts (20) which communicate with the hollow space (15) of each storage tank (11) via a through hole (26). The individual upper parts (20) are joined by means of connecting elements (23) which are introduced into corresponding openings located in the upper parts (20).
