Abstract:
An energy storage system is provided. The system comprises an energy storage device comprising: a pressure vessel configured to store pressurised fluid; and one or more resilient elements, wherein the resilient elements comprise a plurality of filaments of resilient material braided to form the resilient elements, wherein the resilient elements are arranged within or about the pressure vessel, and wherein the energy storage device is configured such that storing pressurised fluid within the pressure vessel acts to tension or compress the resilient elements.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a non-metallic anti-explosion ball, comprising an equatorial ring (1), longitudinal sheets (2), a south-polar ring (41) and a north-polar ring (31). The equatorial ring (1) and the longitudinal sheets (2) are arranged perpendicularly. The south-polar ring (41) and the north-polar ring (31) are located on two sides of the equatorial ring (1) respectively. The south-polar ring (41) is located at one end of the longitudinal sheets (2), and the north-polar ring (31) is located at the other end of the longitudinal sheets (2). The equatorial ring (1), the south-polar ring (41) and the north-polar ring (31) are coaxial. A projection of the south-polar ring (41) is located inside a projection of the equatorial ring (1) in an axial direction of the equatorial ring (1), and a projection of the north-polar ring (31) is positioned inside the projection of the south-polar ring (41). Projections of the longitudinal sheets (2) extend from the projection of the north-polar ring (31) to the equatorial ring (1). A manufacturing process for the non-metallic anti-explosion ball is simple, and the production efficiency is high.
Abstract:
A fluid supply package is described, including a pressure-regulated fluid storage and dispensing vessel comprising a fluid dispensing flow path, and adsorbent disposed in the flow path or in fluid communication therewith to reversibly adsorb fluid from the flow path for pressure stabilization of fluid dispensed from the vessel. A corresponding method is disclosed, of stabilizing fluid pressure during dispensing of fluid through a fluid flow path in a fluid supply package, by contacting the fluid in the fluid flow path with an adsorbent on which the fluid is reversibly adsorbable during the dispensing of fluid. Such approach of using a pressure management adsorbent stabilizes fluid pressure during fluid dispensing, and combats pressure oscillations that may occur during initiation or subsequent performance of fluid dispensing.
Abstract:
An operating gas system for an underwater vehicle, particularly for a submarine or an unmanned underwater vehicle, includes a fuel cell system and an operating gas vessel connected in terms of flow to the fuel cell system. In order to achieve simple and efficient storage of boil-off gasses, a gas-receiving device is also provided and is connected to the operating gas vessel. The gas-receiving device contains a sorbent for receiving boil-off gas from the operating gas vessel. The boil-off gas, which is produced in the operating vessel with an operating gas for the fuel cell system and which cannot be consumed directly in the fuel cell reaction, is therefore collected and stored with the aid of the sorbent in the gas-receiving device. A method for operating an operating gas system and an underwater vehicle are also provided.
Abstract:
Gas container and method for filling a container with gas. The method includes inserting an electrically conducting stretched material into the container before inserting gas into the container, electrically connecting to an electrical ground and at least one of the electrically conducting stretched material and an area in a vicinity of an outlet opening of a filling pipe for inserting the gas into the container, and inserting gas into the container under compression.
