Abstract:
The present invention regards a tank for containing a pressurized fluid comprising at least one shell component (2; 20) provided with a surface that is external during use (2a) and with a surface that is internal during use (2b), as well as at least two framework components (4; 400), the shell component (2; 20) delimiting at least two positioning seats or slits (5a) of the framework components (4; 400).
Abstract:
A pressure vessel configured to store a pressurized fluid is provided including a plurality of lobes. Each lobe includes at least one vertically arranged interior wall. The plurality of lobes are positioned in a side by side configuration such that a first interior wall of a first lobe is positioned adjacent a second interior wall of a second adjacent lobe. The first interior wall and the second interior wall are configured to contact one another at a first point of tangency. A first tangent intersects the first lobe at the first point of tangency and a second tangent intersects the second lobe at the first point of tangency. The first tangent and the second tangent are separated by about 120 degrees.
Abstract:
The special characteristic of this center filled toroidal tank is there is no hollow in the center. Upper and lower of the pressure vessel have steel plates welded to the body. On the side of upper shell, there is a hole for valve fitting. This hold has a lid which covers from its top. Side of this hole has connector extended which use for connect to conversion system. This valve orientation is design to match the installation both in the spare tire hole and underneath the car.
Abstract:
A structural component having an internal support structure extending between outer wall portions of the component with one or more compartments included within the support structure. The support structure has support members including internal walls positioned between and/or defined by the compartments. At least one support member connects between the outer wall portions of the component to enhance the structural integrity of the component. The structural component, including the internal support, are cast from a molten material, and in some cases the support members of the internal support structure are formed with a rectilinear configuration. In some cases the cast structural component is a container and the one or more compartments are configured to store a fluid, such as a gas or a liquid. One or more preforms can be used to form a container and may be retained or eliminated from the container after casting.
Abstract:
A storage system for compressed natural gas which includes at least one storage vessel for storing CNG and a cooling station wherein the storage vessel is connected to the cooling station so that CNG may be stored in the storage vessel after had been passing through the cooling station and once the stored gas conditions fall out a set range, it is cooled in the cooling station, and returned to the storage vessel, wherein the storage vessel is thermally insulated from the exterior thereof thanks to the composite materials and especially glass-reinforced polymers whose pressure vessels are made.
Abstract:
A gas cylinder has a circular-cylindrical shell which is closed on one end by a bung assembly having a connection hole extending along a longitudinal axis direction of the cylinder. The bung assembly has an auxiliary hole extending in a direction which is inclined with regard to a longitudinal axis direction of the cylinder. The connection hole is for introducing gas into and retrieving gas from said gas cylinder, while the auxiliary hole cooperates with a sensor device for measuring a parameter indicative of the filling level of the gas in the cylinder.The auxiliary hole extends in a direction intersecting the central longitudinal axis direction of the gas cylinder and may have an inclination such that the auxiliary hole extends in a direction perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis direction of the gas cylinder. The auxiliary hole may be a through hole or a blind hole.
Abstract:
A gas cylinder (1) comprising a cylinder body (2) with a tubular wall (5) having at least a first tubular portion (11) that is enlarged, and at least a second tubular portion (12) that is adjacent and narrowed relative to the first tubular portion (11).
Abstract:
A plant for storing and supplying compressed gas comprises a storage tank (1) for gas, at least one pressurization tank (2) for gas and a buffer tank (3) for a pressure support fluid to be filled into or evacuated from lower portions of the storage and pressurization tanks. The lower portions of the storage and pressurization tanks are communicating with the buffer tank via fluid flow lines (4, 5) to fill fluid during supplying from and pressurizing gas in the plant, and a flow line (7) for evacuating fluid during refilling of the pressurization tank. According to a preferred embodiment the lower portions of the storage and pressurization tanks are communicating with one another via a fluid flow line (6) to exchange fluid between the storage and pressurization tank, whereas gas being pressurized in the pressurization tank is moved into the storage tank via a gas flow line (8) communicating the pressurization and storage tanks with one another, the gas flow line being situated between upper portions of the pressurization and storage tanks.
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Druckbehälter (1) mit einem aus parallelen, eine in Längsrichtung verlaufende Sicke (8, 10) definierenden, nebeneinander liegenden, teilzylindrischen Mantelschalen (2, 4) aufgebauten Mantel. Dessen Stirnenden sind jeweils mit einem gewölbten Boden (16, 18) verschlossen, wobei zwischen den teilzylindrischen Schalen (2, 4) ein insbesondere als ebene Wand (6; 6a, 6b) ausgebildetes Zugelement angeordnet, dessen oberer bzw. unterer Rand (12, 14) in den oberen bzw. unteren Sickenbereich (8, 10) hineinragt bzw. diesen durchsetzt. Weiterhin ist ein die Mantelschalen (2, 4) und das Zugelement (6) verbindendes in Längsrichtung verlaufendes Schalenelement (42) vorgesehen, das wenigstens abschnittsweise mit den Mantelschalen (2, 4) und mit dem insbesondere abgekanteten Rand (12, 12a; 14, 14a) des Zugelements (6) fest verbunden ist, so dass im Sickenbereich (8, 10) eine Trägerstruktur gebildet wird. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin eine Transportbehälteranordnung, insbesondere eine Tankcontainereinheit (100) mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Druckbehälter (1).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gaskraftstofftank (1) für ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem einen Hohlraum (7) zur Aufnahme von Gaskraftstoff formenden Rumpf abschnitt (2), einem am Rumpf abschnitt (2) angeformten Halsabschnitt (6) mit einer Öffnung (9) zur Aufnahme eines Gasventils (13) zum Be- und Entladen des Hohlraums (7) mit Gaskraftstoff, welcher sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass der Halsabschnitt (6) in den vom Rumpf abschnitt (2) geformten Hohlraum (7) eingezogen ist.
