Abstract:
A wall of a cryogenic propellant tank includes inner and outer skins supported parallel to, and at a distance from, one another to define between them a zone into which pressurized gas is introduced. The zone houses a reinforcing structure, such as honeycomb or corrugated material, to create a sandwich structure. The gas is introduced into the zone using conduits in the reinforcing structure. The gas preferably is an inert gas, most preferably helium.
Abstract:
An energy storage system includes at least one heterogeneous pressure media and interactive actuation module (“module”), a liquid source, a pump, a converter, a first pipeline, and a second pipeline. The module includes a first container storing an initial gas and a second container storing an initial liquid. The liquid source stores a working liquid. The pump regulates the working liquid from the liquid source into the module. The initial liquid is driven by the working liquid to continuously compress the initial gas so that the first container stores a first pressure energy, and the initial gas is continuously expanded to drive the initial liquid to convert the first pressure energy into a second pressure energy. The second pressure energy through the first pipe drives the converter to generate an electrical energy, and the working liquid after driving the converter is returned to the liquid source through the second pipeline.
Abstract:
A non-cylindrical pressure vessel storage tank is disclosed. The storage tank includes an internal structure. The internal structure is coupled to at least one wall of the storage tank. The internal structure shapes and internally supports the storage tank. The pressure vessel storage tank has a conformability of about 0.8 to about 1.0. The internal structure can be, but is not limited to, a Schwarz-P structure, an egg-crate shaped structure, or carbon fiber ligament structure.
Abstract:
Provided is a pressure tank having a lattice structure, including: a tank body that has a high-pressure fluid accommodated therein and is manufactured to have a prismatic shape; and cell structures that are disposed in the prismatic tank body, are manufactured in a lattice form, arrive from one side wall of the tank body to the other side wall thereof facing it, and are orthogonally arranged regularly.
Abstract:
A storage tank, especially for liquefied gases, is separated into cells by numerous partitions of a material having low heat conductivity. The maximum diameter of the cells in a plane that is perpendicular to the partitions is less than 50 mm.
Abstract:
The storage assembly comprises a plurality of longitudinally extending containers that are rigidly fixed and independent with respect to each other and are sealed at each end thereof. An expansion vessel is interconnected commonly with all of the containers to receive expansion media from each of the containers. Means are connected commonly to all of the containers for discharging and filling each of the individual containers whereby the assembly is capable of handling a large capacity of liquified gases, liquids and the like.

Abstract:
A device for the storage of compressed hydrogen gas comprises a plurality of glass capillary tubes each having a sealed extremity and an open extremity, wherein said plurality of glass capillary tubes is sheathed in an external tubular cover, and wherein the open end of a bundle of said tubular covers is housed in an adaptor, and wherein said adaptor is suitable to allow compressed hydrogen gas to be added to, and to prevent said hydrogen gas from escaping from, said glass capillary tubes.
