A tank, in particular for a liquid hydrogen reservoir, provided with at least one dome fixed by way of an outer welded joint and having a central portion provided with at least one free end including a first connecting element and at least one dome provided with an open end including a second connecting element, the dome and the central portion being able to be joined together, the first connecting element and the second connecting element being configured to form, when the central portion and the dome are joined together, a protruding tab extending toward the outside of the tank and able to be welded to a protruding end, such a protruding tab making it possible in particular to join together the tank, this being done entirely from the outside of said tank, and to easily mount and dismount the dome, in particular without accessibility issues.

A module includes a first member that is a battery or a gas tank in which pressure fluctuation happens along one axis direction, a pair of second members, the second members being arranged on end portions of the first member in the one axis direction, respectively, and a binding member binding the first member and the second members while pressurizing them. The binding member is formed as fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) containing fiber and resin is revolved. The FRP includes a base fiber layer with a fiber direction along a revolution direction, and a reinforcing fiber layer with a fiber direction different from that of the base fiber layer. The reinforcing fiber layer has a non-overlapping portion between both end portions in a revolved state. The non-overlapping portion is positioned in a region facing the first member.

A cryogenic dewar may include an inner tank and an outer tank. The cryogenic dewar may further include a plurality of trunnion mounts. A first four of the trunnion mounts may be coupled between a front half of the inner tank and a front half of the outer tank. A second four of the trunnion mounts may be coupled between a rear half of the inner tank and a rear half of the outer tank. The trunnion mount may be further strengthen with a plurality of pie-shaped reinforcing pads welded to each other and to an outer surface of the inner tank.

Various embodiments are generally directed to a casing connected to a top cap structure that consists of an adapter flange extending to an adapter barrel that is configured to fit wholly within the casing. The adapter barrel can be separated from the casing by an annulus that is filled to a predetermined annulus pressure while an internal chamber defined by the adapter barrel contains a gas having a small molecular size at a storage pressure that is greater than the predetermined annulus pressure.
