A hydrogen tank for aircraft, including an inner vessel configured to contain hydrogen, first and second outer jacket domes having a semi-spherical shape and first L-shaped ends, a first cylindrical outer jacket established on top of the first and second outer jacket domes, a second cylindrical outer jacket established in the bottom of the first and second outer jacket domes. The first and second cylindrical outer jackets include second L-shaped ends. The first and second L-shaped ends form L-shaped junctions to attach the first and second outer jacket domes to the first and second cylindrical outer jackets.

A method of manufacturing a pressure vessel, may include a preparation step of preparing a boss made of metal; a processing step of processing a concave-convex pattern on an external surface of the boss; and a winding step of winding a reinforcing material around an external surface of a liner including the boss so that the reinforcing material is disposed on the concave-convex pattern, improving quality and durability of the pressure vessel and reducing a defect rate.

A tank container for storing gases, in particular for storing hydrogen in a motor vehicle. The tank container includes a main body which is preferably tubular, and comprises reinforcement elements which are arranged on a wall of the main body and are produced using an additive manufacturing process.

A high-pressure tank comprising: a resin liner for a high-pressure tank including at least one opening portion; an aluminum mouth portion attached to the opening portion; and a reinforcement layer formed on an outer surface of the liner, wherein an aluminum oxide coating is formed on a surface of the aluminum mouth portion, the aluminum oxide coating includes a porous surface layer in which columns with an average height of 10 to 100 nm are arranged in a dispersed state, an average value of a percentages of the protruding portion area of the columns in randomly sampled 400 nm square visual fields of the porous surface layer is 5.0 to 26.0%, and an average value of the numbers of the columns in randomly sampled 400 nm square visual fields of the porous surface layer is 500 to 2000.

Disclosed is a membrane type insulation system for LNG carrier cargo tank and liquefied gas fuel container wherein a corrugation finishing membrane formed of Invar steel is welded to a secondary membrane connecting portion or a primary membrane connecting portion in order to seal corrugations at a corner portion of a cargo tank in a structure wherein at least one of a primary membrane and a secondary membrane is formed of an SUS material having corrugations, thereby improving work efficiency while reducing manufacturing costs through elimination of a separate angled piece for connection between corrugations on adjacent walls at the corner portion.

A method for manufacturing a high-pressure tank including a liner and a reinforcing layer covering an outer surface of the liner includes: forming a cylinder member made of a fiber-reinforced resin; forming a pair of dome members made of the fiber-reinforced resin; and forming a reinforcing body that is the reinforcing layer by joining the cylinder member and the dome members. When forming the cylinder member, a resin-impregnated fiber sheet is wound around an outer peripheral surface of a mandrel to form a cylinder body, and a resin-impregnated fiber bundle is then wound so as to overlap the cylinder body.

The present invention is a tank for storing pressurized gas. The tank comprises at least one tubular element (1) having a wall comprising a layer of prestressed concrete (6), at least one circumferential mechanical reinforcing layer (8), at least one axial mechanical reinforcing layer (7) and a sealing layer (5). The concrete from which the layer of prestressed concrete is made is chosen from ultra high performance fiber-reinforced concretes.

A high-pressure tank includes a liner that includes a body that is cylindrical in shape and a pair of dome portions each of which is provided at a respective end of the body in an axial direction, and a reinforcing layer provided on an outer circumferential face of the liner. The reinforcing layer includes a pair of resin rings each of which is provided encircling a respective end portion of an outer circumferential face of the body, a hoop layer that covers part of the outer circumferential face of the body, between the resin rings, and a helical layer that covers the resin rings, the hoop layer, and the dome portions. The resin rings are configured to cover part of the body from boundary portions between the body and the dome portions, and increase in thickness from the boundary portions toward a middle of the body.

A storage tank for a cryogenic fluid including an inner tank that is configured to store the fluid and that is seated in an outer envelope, the inner tank and the outer envelope having a shared longitudinal axis, such that a thermal insulation volume surrounds the inner tank, and wherein the outer envelope surrounds the volume about the inner tank. The tank has at least one damping element made of a deformable material positioned between one end of the inner tank and the outer envelope to wedge the inner tank against the outer envelope. This enables a reliable sliding mechanical link to be formed between at least one end of the inner tank and the outer envelope of the tank, thereby increasing resistance to wear and facilitating assembly of the tank.

A high-pressure tank includes: a liner including a body portion having a tubular shape and side end portions each having a dome shape, the side end portions being provided on opposite sides of the body portion; and a reinforcement layer made of fiber reinforced resin covering an outer surface of the liner. The reinforcement layer includes a tubular member covering the body portion and dome members joined to opposite sides of the tubular member so as to cover the side end portions. The liner includes a first resin layer defining a storage space for storing gas and a second resin layer provided between the first resin layer and at least the tubular member. An elastic modulus of a second resin constituting the second resin layer is lower than an elastic modulus of a first resin constituting the first resin layer.
