POLYMER PRESSURE VESSEL END-CAP AND LINER-LESS PRESSURE VESSEL DESIGN
An end-cap arrangement for a polymer pressure vessel comprises an end-cap, a filler element for being provided in the vicinity of the end part of the polymer pressure vessel, and a polymer outer ring. The end-cap comprises a polymer end-cap part and a polymer inner ring part being integrally connected to the polymer end cap part. The end-cap is provided for inserting into an end part of the polymer pressure vessel such that the polymer end-cap part seals the end part of the polymer pressure vessel. The polymer inner ring part and the polymer outer ring are arranged for providing radial compression of the filler element.
HIGH-PRESSURE GAS TANK AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HIGH-PRESSURE GAS TANK

Methods of internally insulating a fluted core sandwich structure
A method of partially insulating an interior space of a pre-formed fluted core panel is disclosed herein. The fluted core panel includes a first facesheet, a second facesheet spaced apart from the first facesheet, and webs between the first facesheet and second facesheet. The interior space is defined between the first facesheet, the second facesheet, and adjacent webs. The method includes positioning a spacer in a first portion of the interior space, positioning a membrane between the spacer and a second portion of the interior space, and positioning insulation in the second portion of the interior space. Additionally, the method includes pressing the membrane against the spacer, curing the membrane, and removing the spacer from the first portion of the interior space.
Cryogenic Pressure Container
A cryogenic pressure container for a motor vehicle has an inner container and an outer container. An evacuated space is arranged between the inner container and the outer container at least in some regions. The inner container has a synthetic material layer. A barrier layer is arranged at least in some regions between the synthetic material layer and the evacuated space. The barrier layer is designed and arranged so as to at least reduce the transfer of constituents leaking out of the synthetic material layer into the evacuated space, wherein a gap is formed at least in some regions between the barrier layer and the synthetic material layer.
PRESSURE VESSEL WITH DOME SUPPORTED DIAPHRAGM
A non-metallic pressure vessel is disclosed that includes a bottom dome having an upper wall defining an interface channel, a top dome having a lower wall defining a downwardly projecting securement flange dimensioned and aligned for vertical engagement within the interface channel of the bottom dome, and a flexible diaphragm retained within the interface channel of the bottom dome by the downwardly projecting flange of the upper dome.
HIGH-PRESSURE HYDROGEN TANK
A high-pressure hydrogen tank includes a metal circular cylinder configured to store high-pressure hydrogen therein, a cap part configured to cover each of opposite end portions of the metal circular cylinder, an outer cylinder surrounding an outer periphery of a circular-cylindrical portion of the metal circular cylinder, and a fastening part configured to fix the cap part to the outer cylinder.
