Abstract: A process for winding a filament around a winding support having a general cylindrical shape with dome-shaped longitudinal ends and having a roll axis, by which the winding support is held by a holding device fixed to a base. The following steps occur in synchronization: (i) feeding a filament, by at least one primary feeding device and at least one secondary feeding device, towards the winding support; (ii) translating the primary feeding device and the secondary feeding device with respect to the base in parallel to the roll axis of the winding support; and (iii) rotating the winding support around its roll axis with respect to the base, where the movement of the primary feeding device and the secondary feeding device are symmetric one of another.

Abstract: A pressure vessel including an internal fluid storage chamber, and an outer composite structure enclosing or encasing the internal fluid storage chamber. The outer composite structure has a thickness containing both helical layers and hoop layers of reinforcing fibers, wherein at least 20% of a combined thickness of all of the helical layers are located within a 25% innermost thickness of the outer composite structure. The internal fluid storage chamber is defined by a liner including a generally cylindrical central portion having a first outer diameter at a first longitudinal end, and a first dome-shaped longitudinal end portion having a base portion and a first intermediate portion located between the generally cylindrical central portion and the base portion for connecting the first longitudinal end of the generally cylindrical central portion to the base portion of the first dome-shaped longitudinal end portion.

Abstract: A dome reinforcement shell suitable for a pressure vessel may include a winding of layers of fiber-reinforced composite material tapes, having a dome-shaped portion with a base and a central axis. The layers may include: at least one proximal layer of fiber-reinforced composite material, the at least one proximal layer having a start angle α1 with respect to the central axis measured at a first end of the proximal layer, with α1 being in a range of from 0° to 90°, and at least one distal layer of fiber-reinforced composite material, the at least one distal layer having a start angle α2 with respect to the central axis measured at a first end of the distal layer, with α2 strictly being in a range of from 0° to α1.

Abstract: A boss assembly may be configured for a pressure vessel having a liner defining a fluid storage chamber and a composite shell enclosing or encasing the liner. Such a boss assembly may include a dome reinforcement part made of fiber-reinforced composite material coupled to a boss part. The dome reinforcement part may be configured to be covered by the composite shell and configured to cover a dome portion of the liner. The boss part may be mechanically coupled to the dome reinforcement part during the dome reinforcement part fabrication.

Abstract: A reinforcement element, suitable for composite pressure vessel, may be configured to be inserted and to fill in a hollow shaft of a plastic liner of the composite pressure vessel, the hollow shaft connecting opposite walls of the liner. The reinforcement element may include a central part and two external parts constituted by a plurality of continuous fibres impregnated with a first resin. The central part of the reinforcement element may have a dimension substantially equal to the dimension of the hollow shaft and being a full part. The two external parts may be able to be unfolded and fixed on the external surface of opposite walls of the liner. A composite pressure vessel may include such a reinforcement element.
