Extraction cell cap assembly with toolless disassembly
11684877 · 2023-06-27 · ·

An extraction cell cap assembly allows for toolless disassembly. The assembly includes a cap body having a threaded base releasably engaged with a cell vessel, a support member extending axially upward from the base, and a bore axially extending through the support member. The assembly also includes a locking cap having a plunger slidably received within the bore, a recess disposed within the plunger, and a locking portion that releasably engages the support member. Rotation of the locking cap in a first direction engages the locking portion with the support member, and rotation in an opposite direction disengages the locking portion. A filter is received in the recess and a seal member received in the bore, wherein the seal member forms a fluid-tight seal between the cell vessel and the assembly when the locking portion and the support member are engaged and the assembly is secured to the cell vessel.

HIGH-PRESSURE HYDROGEN CONTAINER

A high-pressure hydrogen container is provided that has a simple configuration, requiring less labor for manufacture, achieving reduced manufacturing costs, and ensuring pressure resistance. The high-pressure hydrogen container includes a metal cylinder configured to store high-pressure hydrogen, a pair of lid parts configured to cover both end portions of the metal cylinder, and a plurality of fastening parts configured to fix the pair of lid parts in a state where the metal cylinder is clamped between the pair of lid parts.

POLYMER PRESSURE VESSEL END-CAP AND LINER-LESS PRESSURE VESSEL DESIGN
20170299057 · 2017-10-19 ·

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.

Integrated lifting and pivoting device
11667442 · 2023-06-06 · ·

A tank having a sealing plate and a tank body and lifting mechanism for separating the sealing plate from the tank body of a tank are provided. The lifting mechanism includes a pin inserted into a flange of the tank body extending through the sealing plate, and a threaded device coupled to the sealing plate and selectively contacting the pin to apply a pushing force in response to the threaded device being inserted into the sealing plate.

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.

CLOSURE FOR PRESSURE VESSEL OR PIPELINE
20210372553 · 2021-12-02 ·

A closure is provided for a pressure vessel or pipelines that can provide quick and easy access to the interior of a pressure vessel or pipeline and means for a pressure tight seal between the hub and door. The closure can incorporate means for mechanically fastening the door to the hub using an external split clamp ring actuated by a toggle mechanism. A locking mechanism can be provided to safeguard against unintended closure actuation and provides a layer of redundancy to the holding characteristics of the toggle mechanism. The locking mechanism can be interlocked to a pressure alert system to ensure any differential pressure condition contained within the closure is detected prior to disengaging the locking mechanism and actuating the toggle mechanism.
