Abstract: The present invention provides a modular pressure vessel mounting apparatus and methods for using the same in transporting or storing pressure vessels. In particular, the module pressure vessel mounting apparatus comprises:



a plurality of top sleeves (200A);
a plurality of bottom sleeves (200B);
a top-plate (300A) configured to fit said plurality of said top sleeves (200A);
a bottom-plate (300B) configured to fit said plurality of said bottom sleeves (200B); and
a restraining device (400) configured to hold each of the pressure gas vessels between each of said top sleeves (200A) and each of said bottom sleeves (200B).

Typically, a plurality of pressure vessels are placed between the top-plate (300A) and the bottom-plate (300B) by placing a top sleeve (200A) and a bottom sleeve (200B) between the neck of the pressure vessel and the top-plate (300A) and the bottom of the pressure vessel and the bottom-plate (300B), respectively. The pressure vessels are then held in place using the restraining device (400), which prevents movement of pressure vessels within the module pressure vessel mounting apparatus (10).

Abstract: The present invention discloses a boss configuration for a Type IV composite pressure vessel (“CPV”). In particular, the invention provides liner-to-boss interface that allows the polymeric liner to wrap around the internal collar of the boss that extends below the flange. Since the wrap-around section of the liner conforming to the internal collar portion of the boss is subjected to pressure from all sides, the liner stays adhered to the boss when the inside surface of the liner in a CPV is subjected to internal pressure from the contained fluid.
