A pressure vessel includes a first (base or innermost) layer composed of a resin-impregnated woven sleeve with chopped basalt fibers assembled in the voids of the sleeve and impregnated with an epoxy resin. A second and third layer is composed of continuous basalt fiber filaments arranged in a helical pattern, with the helical angle of the second layer being not equal to that of the third layer. A fourth layer is composed of continuous basalt fibers arranged in a hoop pattern. The fifth (outermost) layer is composed of randomly oriented chopped basalt fibers impregnated with a resin matrix and compacted with the subsequent wound filaments at up to ten pounds of tension.

This invention relates to a containment system for storing liquid hydrogen (3), comprising one or more walls forming a containment space (2). At least one of the one or more walls comprises an inner barrier layer (11), an outer barrier layer (12) and one or more spacer elements (14) disposed between the inner barrier layer (11) and the outer barrier layer (12) to separate the first and second barrier layers (11, 12), thereby creating space for a vacuum layer (13) in between the inner and outer barrier layers (11, 12). The outer barrier layer (12) is made of cryogenic ice having a temperature of below minus 150 C.

The present invention provides a lightweight high pressure vessels that are made from a liner or a liner housing that is overwrapped with a composite material. Unlike conventional high pressure vessels, the lightweight high pressure vessel of the invention includes a liner that comprises a plurality of liner sections without using welding or crimping. In particular, the lightweight high pressure vessels of the invention include a plurality of elements that are combined to form a liner housing and a composite overwrap that provides structural and mechanical strength to maintain integrity of the high pressure vessel. In one particular embodiment, the high pressure vessel of the invention is a diaphragm accumulator.

An embodiment pressure vessel includes a nozzle part, a liner part, and a composite material part. The nozzle part extends upward and includes a first nozzle portion and a second nozzle portion connected to a lower side of the first nozzle portion and having a greater diameter than a diameter of the first nozzle portion, and an area of the second nozzle portion adjacent to the first nozzle portion in a top-down view defines a first boundary area. The liner part defines an inner space and surrounds a lower side of the nozzle part, and an upper end of the liner part covers the first boundary area, and the composite material part is coupled to an outer side of the liner part and is configured to surround the liner part.

For improving storage of hydrogen in a vehicle, a hydrogen tank assembly is provided for a vehicle. The hydrogen tank assembly includes an inner tank wall defining a hydrogen tank volume configured for storing liquid hydrogen; and an outer hydrogen collector defining, together with the inner tank wall, at least one cavity outside of the hydrogen tank volume and including at least one hydrogen outlet for leading gaseous hydrogen which leaks from the hydrogen tank through the inner tank wall into the at least one cavity to a hydrogen storage or a hydrogen consumer.

Container (100) with valve for storing, dispensing and transporting aircraft fuel additives, which allows speeding up and simplifying the mixing and refueling process, through numerous smart functions and an innovative valve system (40). The invention uses recyclable materials, reduces the mixing action time and/or the need to mix large quantities of liquids, guarantees the safety of things and people in the work area and is easily transportable due to its ergonomic and compact shape. The device comprises a body (10) capable of resisting impacts; a hermetic sealing system (12) to protect the contents; a coupling system (16); a sensor or a level gauge (17) connected, possibly where the working environment allows it, to an alarm system (14), suitable to warn the operator of the exhaustion of the additive by means of a luminous LED signal.

A polar boss suitable for use in pressurized-gas assemblies. The polar boss includes a longitudinally extending part with a top surface with a recessed opening and a planar bottom surface. A channel extends through the polar boss, communicates with the recessed opening, and terminates at the bottom planar surface to serve as a passageway through the polar boss. A circular groove is provided on the planar bottom surface with inner and outer side walls, with helical threading provided on the inner and outer side walls.

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.

A pressurized-gas storage assembly has a liner defining a gas storage chamber and an end portion with a planar surface, with an access opening on the planar surface that is in fluid communication with the gas storage chamber. A raised circular ring extends from the planar surface and surrounds the access opening. The assembly also includes a polar boss having a longitudinally extending part that has a top surface with a recessed opening, and a planar bottom surface, with a channel extending through the polar boss to serve as a passageway through the polar boss. A circular groove is provided on the bottom flat surface of the polar boss, with the raised ring received inside the circular groove. An outer shell is provided around the entirety of the liner, with the outer shell having an edge-defining aperture that receives the polar boss.
