Vehicle equipped with high pressure tank

A vehicle equipped with a high pressure tank has mounted in the interior of a vehicle body a high pressure tank having a resin liner and a reinforced layer, the vehicle comprising a tank chamber, a filling port, a concave portion in which the filling port and a ventilation port are disposed, a fuel lid capable of opening and closing an opening of the concave portion, and a ventilation passage that allows communication between the ventilation port and the tank chamber. When the fuel lid is opened, the ventilation port is opened to the exterior of the vehicle body, whereas when the fuel lid is closed, the ventilation port is covered by the fuel lid in a state in which the ventilation port is allowed to communicate with the exterior of the vehicle body.

Bulk metallic glass pressure vessels

A pressure vessel containing a main body with at least one opening. The pressure vessel is made from a BMG material. The pressure vessel may contain an additional part such as a neck, a liner, a rib, a lattice, a fin, and a diaphragm. The pressure vessel may be free of a welded joint in entirety. The pressure vessel may contain multiple parts in the main body, each of which is free of a welded joint. The pressure vessel may be made through thermoplastic forming.

Pressure vessel having an outlet for fuel collected between a liner and a fiber-reinforced layer

A pressure vessel stores fuel. The pressure vessel includes a liner, a fiber-reinforced layer, at least one end piece, and at least one outlet. The fiber-reinforced layer surrounds the liner, at least in some regions. The end piece is covered by the fiber-reinforced layer, at least in some regions. The at least one outlet is used to carry fuel that has collected in a boundary layer between the liner and the fiber-reinforced layer and is to be drained. The outlet surrounds the end piece, at least in some sections. The outlet is arranged and formed in such a way that the fuel to be drained escapes from the boundary layer into the outlet.

Pressure vessel

A pressure vessel including: a cylindrical straight body section and dome sections provided at both ends of the body section, where: the body section and the dome sections are composed of a resin main body, and an outer shell made of a fiber reinforced resin material, the outer shell being on the outside of the main body; each of dome sections has pinch-off regions extending from a tip of the dome section toward the body section; and when an end of each of the pinch-off regions opposite to the tip of the dome section is located in a region where a distance from the tip of the dome section to the end of each of the pinch-off regions opposite to the tip of the dome section in the axial direction of the straight body section is less than a distance from the tip of each of the dome sections to a boundary between the straight body section of the main body and each of the dome sections in the axial direction of the straight body section.

High pressure tank apparatus and method of controlling same
11085583 · 2021-08-10 · ·

A high pressure tank of a high pressure tank apparatus includes: a resin-made liner; a reinforced layer; a supplying/discharging hole to which a supplying/discharging flow path is connected via a connecting section; and a supplying/discharging-side lead-out hole that leads out a fluid interposing between the liner and the reinforced layer. A leaked fluid storage section is capable of storing a leaked fluid that has leaked from the connecting section. A supplying/discharging-side discharge flow path is provided independently from the leaked fluid storage section, and, when an opening/closing valve opens, discharges to the air a temporary release fluid that has been led out via the supplying/discharging-side lead-out hole. A control section, when it has judged, based on a detection result of a detecting unit, that there is a condition enabling the temporary release fluid to be discharged, opens the opening/closing valve.
