A high-pressure includes a liner; a composite material surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the liner; a heat-transfer sheet formed on the outer circumferential surface of the liner; and a spacer disposed between the heat-transfer sheet and the composite material. The heat-transfer sheet and the spacer have a gap therebetween.

This method for fixing a base with at least one element of a liner (24) of a tank (22) for a pressurised fluid comprising a liner (24) in particular comprises forming at least one element of the liner (24) by rotational moulding or by extrusion blow moulding of a polymer on the walls of a mould, the polymer being heated so as to be malleable, and in particular cooling the polymer so as to secure the second portion (40) of the base (34) to the polymer.

An apparatus for fastening a pair of gas vessels includes: a plurality of first units formed of a composite material, spaced apart from each other in parallel with each other in a length direction of the gas vessel, and having the pair of gas vessels seated on both sides thereof; a second unit formed of a composite material and extending in the length direction of the gas vessels to integrally connect the plurality of first units; and a plurality of fastening units each of which extending along a circumference of the gas vessels to enclose the gas vessels seated on the first units and having both ends connected to the first units.

The present invention relates to a pressure vessel, comprising a connecting element, an inner vessel and a support shell which surrounds the inner vessel, wherein the pressure vessel has the following features: the connecting element comprises a neck section in the form of a sleeve and a shoulder section; the connecting element is bonded via its outer face to an inner face of the inner vessel; the inner vessel is bonded to the support shell in such a way that the inner vessel is arranged in a sandwich-like manner at least in sections between the connecting element and the support shell; and the pressure vessel has at least one orifice delimited by the neck section of the connecting element, wherein the pressure vessel is characterized in that the outer face of the connecting element facing the inner vessel at least partly has a mean roughness of more than 50 m.

A pressure vessel assembly includes one or more pressure elements configured to store compressed gas and an end fitting that extends from an internal cavity of the one or more pressure elements. The pressure vessel assembly includes a retention component configured to sustain engagement of the end fitting with at least one of the pressure elements below a predetermined pressure threshold. The retention component includes a plug connected with the end fitting so that the end fitting does not slide through a distal opening of the one or more pressure element or an anchor connected with the end fitting and comprising arms that are configured to sustain engagement of the end fitting with the at least one of the pressure elements.

Fluid storage tank, comprising at least one layer, wherein the at least one layer encloses at least one chamber, further comprising a valve, the valve connecting an interior of the at least one chamber with an exterior of the at least one chamber, wherein the fluid storage tank is made at least partially by means of 3D-printing.

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.

A pressure vessel includes a hollow body including a body, a first end, and a second end. The body includes a cylindrical body wall and each of the first and second ends includes a convex, rounded end wall. Each of the first and second ends forms a first and second juncture, respectively, where each end wall meets the body wall. The pressure vessel further includes first and second projections adjacent to the first and second juncture, respectively, and a fiber wrap surrounding the wall of the body between the first and second projections.

An impermeable and thermally insulated tank built into a load-bearing structure, the tank wall comprising: a thermally insulated barrier attached to a load-bearing wall and made of insulating blocks, juxtaposed in parallel rows separated from one another by gaps, an impermeable barrier supported by the thermally insulated barrier and made of welded metal sheets.
Each insulating block carries, on the face of same opposite the load-bearing wall, two metal connecting strips arranged in parallel to the sides of the insulating block. The sheets of the membrane carried by the insulating block are welded to the strips. The connecting strips are rigidly connected to the insulating block carrying same. The sheets each have at least two orthogonal folds parallel to the sides of the insulating blocks, the folds being inserted into the gaps formed between two insulating blocks.

A pressure vessel comprising a pipe closed at each end with a novel plug/compression cap, the plug at one end of the pipe having a port for connection to a pressure regulating device.
