F17C1/04
High-Pressure Vessel Having Impact-Resistant Stiffener Member
Disclosed are a thermoplastic resin composition and a molded product including the same, and based on 100 parts by weight of a base resin including (A) 70 wt % to 90 wt % of a polybutylene terephthalate resin and (B) 10 wt % to 30 wt % of an acrylate-based graft copolymer, the thermoplastic resin composition includes: (C) 1 part by weight to 5 parts by weight of an epoxy group-containing methacrylate-aromatic vinyl-unsaturated nitrile copolymer; (D) 15 parts by weight to 20 parts by weight of a carbon fiber; (E) 1 part by weight to 5 parts by weight of carbon nanotubes; and (F) 18 parts by weight to 20 parts by weight of aluminum diethyl phosphinate (ADEP).
Pressure vessel comprising a heat exchanger for a cryogenically stored medium
The invention relates to a pressure vessel comprising a heat exchanger for a cryogenically stored medium, especially for use in a motor vehicle, especially for use as a pressure tank for hydrogen. Said pressure vessel includes a cylindrical jacket and rounded-off end faces which are rolled onto the ends of the jacket and which have centrally arranged openings closed by welded-in inserts, at least one first insert having filling and removal devices. The invention is characterized in that the inserts form bearings on which at least one in-tank heat exchanger is mounted.

Compressed gas capture and recovery system
A method and system for recycling permeated gas is disclosed. A container encapsulating a pressure vessel defines a containment volume. Gas permeating through the pressure vessel is captured in the containment volume. When a sensor detects a threshold level of permeated gas captured within the containment volume, a control module sends a command to open a purge valve. The open purge valve allows permeated gas captured within the containment volume to be supplied to an engine, a repressurization unit, or a secondary container.

Gas cylinder with reduced permeability
A system for powering a vehicle is provided. The system can include an engine or power generation system to be powered by a fuel and a housing. The housing can be configured to couple to one or more frame rails of the vehicle, receive and protect a cylinder configured to store the fuel to be used by the engine or power generation system. The housing can have one or more access panels allowing access to an interior of the housing. The cylinder can include a first end portion, a second end portion, a central body forming an enclosed cavity for storing pressurized gas, a reinforcement structure disposed over the central body, and a metal foil interposed between the reinforcement structure and central body. The metal foil can be configured to reduce permeation of contents of the cylinder.

Strap guide and tank mounting fixture
A system for enabling securing devices configured to hold fuels, such as gas cylinders, to frames is provided. The system includes an isolator fastened to the device configured to hold fuel and a strap that is attached to the frame. The isolator includes barriers on either side that prevent longitudinal slipping of the strap and ridges disposed between the barriers, which create cushioning between the strap and the device configured to hold fuel.

High pressure tank
The high pressure tank comprises a tank main body including a liner made of a resin and a mouthpiece made of a non-resin material and mounted to an open end of the liner; and a reinforcement layer provided to cover the entire tank main body and have pressure resistance. The liner includes a first contact surface arranged approximately perpendicular to a central axis of the liner to come into contact with the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece includes a second contact surface arranged to come into contact with the first contact surface of the liner. One of the first contact surface and the second contact surface includes projections, and the other includes recesses in which the projections being fitted. The second contact surface is formed in an approximately circular shape.
