CONTAINER FOR STORING A COMPOSITION COMPRISING TETRAFLUOROPROPENE AND METHOD FOR STORING SAME
The invention relates to a container housing a composition comprising tetrafluoropropene. The container is made from metal and includes an inner surface, said inner surface being in contact with the composition and being at least partially covered with a polyether- or polyol-type resin. Advantageously, the aforementioned composition comprises at least 15 wt.-% tetrafluoropropene relative to the total weight of the composition.
TANKS FOR STORING VOLATILE GAS UNDER PRESSURE AND STRUCTURES COMPRISING SUCH TANKS
The disclosure relates to a tank for storing volatile gas under pressure and a structure comprising the tank. The tank has a wall formed of a filament wound carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). The CFRP may have a graphene nanomaterial filler dispersed in the polymer adhesive matrix. The structure includes a frame for bearing static and dynamic forces from internal and external loads, the frame including the tank, the tank being an active load bearing structural element configured as a stressed member in the frame such that, in the structure in use, the tank bears static and dynamic forces from internal and external loads. One or more of: the filament winding pattern of the carbon fibre, the wall thickness, the wall shape, or the material properties of the polymer matrix including the dispersed graphene; is configured such that the tank has mechanical properties required by the design of the structure.
