Abstract:
An apparatus and method for retaining pressure vessel closures (14, 15) on a container is described which utilizes alignment slots (26) disposed about the container and closure, with a filament (28) wound about the container and closure for retaining the closure to the container. The fiber, which includes a curable polymer, assures that the closure is firmly retained on the pressure vessel. Utilizing a fiber for retaining the closure to the container avoids welding, impact fasteners or the use of threaded fasteners and thus significantly reduces the weight and complexity of the pressure vessel.
Abstract:
Glass-fibre reinforced plastic tank, for example for liquid petroleum gas under high pressure, compressed air for air brakes or for storage of acetylene. The tank is composed of two halves (10, 12), the open ends of which are conically bevelled to form a male end (20) and a female end (22), which are joined to each other by an adhesive. The reinforcement in the outer and inner layers of the halves contains essentially longitudinal glass-fibre strands and the intermediate layer contains essentially transverse glass-fibre strands. In the half with the male end (20), the longitudinal glass-fibre strands in the inner layer (35) are densely located adjacent to each other, while the longitudinal glass-fibre strands in the outer layer lie in separate groups (30) of densely arranged glass-fibre strands with the predetermined spacing between the groups to form channel-shaped spaces (31). In the half with the female end (22), the order is reverse. In order to store acetylene, a pre-fabricated absorbent body of porous material is enclosed in the tank when the tank halves are glued together.

Abstract:
A vessel that has been reinforced to withstand high internal pressures for example in an HVACR system. The vessel can have a tubular body having a middle portion and at least one of a first tapered portion extending from a first end of the middle portion and a second tapered portion extending from a second end of the middle portion. A monolithic reinforcement sleeve surrounds the tubular body and has at least one of a first tapered end portion adjacent to and surrounding at least part of the first tapered portion of the tubular member and second tapered end portion adjacent to and surrounding at least part of the second tapered portion of the tubular member.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter zum Aufnehmen, Speichern und Abgeben von Flüssigkeiten und/oder viskosen Stoffen, insbesondere von Kraftstoff oder Treibstoff oder Trinkwasser, mit einem Mantel (12) und wenigstens einem Leitblech (16), das in einem Innenraum (14) des Behälters (10) an der Innenseite (18) des Mantels (12) und mit einem Ende (20) einer Auslassöffnung (22) des Behälters (10) zugewandt angeordnet ist und sich in einen zu der Auslassöffnung (22) des Behälters (10) benachbarten oder angrenzenden Bereich (24) hineinerstreckt, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass ein flexibles Element (32) zwischen dem wenigstens einen Leitblech (16) und der Innenseite (18) des Mantels (12) zur Abdeckung oder Überdeckung eines/einer zwischen dem wenigstens einen Leitblech (16) und der Innenseite (18) des Mantels (12) ausgebildeten Spalts, Ecke, Zwickels oder dergleichen Zwischenraums (28) angeordnet ist, und eine Verwendung dessen.
Abstract:
A lightweight, ergonomically beneficial, hydrodynamic, and volumetrically efficient hybrid pressure vessel (100, 200, 300) having at least two longitudinally extending, semi-cylindrical sections (122, 222, 322) with flattened rib portions (126, 226, 326) at a common interface between the sections (122, 222, 322). Additional longitudinally extending sections (124, 224, 324) may be employed to provide additional internal volume. One or more apertures (128) extend through the ribs (126, 226, 326) to provide communication between sections (122, 124, 222, 224, 322, 324). The pressure vessel (100, 200, 300) comprises a cast metal material, optionally including exterior reinforcing structure (334) for containing internal pressure.
Abstract:
A pressure vessel (10) having a housing forming a chamber of a polygonal cross-section, the sides of the housing being formed by at least one panel (P), the panel forming one side being connected to the panels forming an adjacent side by a connector assembly (C) that permits the connected panels at the juncture of the connector assembly (C) to pivot or move relative to one another in the substantial absence of any bending stress at such juncture, and a seal (110) being used to form fluid-tight seals between adjacent sides.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a tank formed by a plurality of elementary tanks such as tubes (20) connected in parallel to at least a manifold (30, 32) and comprising closing means in the form of valves for isolating any one of the elementary tanks in response to a fall of pressure in it.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a support assembly (10) for a self-containing cryogenic tank (12). The support assembly (10) comprises a first thermally insulating layer (14) and an impermeable layer (16) located at least partially above the first thermally insulating layer (14). The impermeable layer (16) is adapted to form a drip tray (18) for the cryogenic tank (12). According to the present disclosure, the support assembly further comprises a second thermally insulating layer (20) located at least partially above the impermeable layer (16), the second thermally insulating layer (20) is adapted to support the cryogenic tank (12).
