A plastic tank liner for the storage of a pressurized fluid includes: two ends; two elongated cylindrical sections, the two cylindrical sections having different diameters; and one connecting section connecting the two cylindrical sections. The connecting section has a concave portion connected to the cylindrical section of smaller diameter, and a convex portion adjacent to the cylindrical section of larger diameter. The convex portion has an isotensoid shape. Two convex domes are located on both ends of the plastic tank liner so that each of the domes is connected to a different cylindrical section.

A manufacturing method for a high-pressure tank includes joining a cylindrical member and dome members to each other so that a first reinforcing layer and a second reinforcing layer to which a cap is attached are formed, and after a resin material is poured inside the first reinforcing layer, rotating the first reinforcing layer so that the resin material covers an inner surface of the first reinforcing layer, and solidifying the resin material so that the liner is formed. The cap is attached to the first reinforcing layer so that a recessed portion in which the resin material is collected is formed between the cap and the first reinforcing layer. After the first reinforcing layer is rotated, the resin material is solidified in a state where the cap side is positioned on a lower side.

A method of manufacturing a high-pressure fluid vessel includes forming a first portion of a high-pressure fluid vessel with a molding process. The high-pressure fluid vessel includes a stack of capsules. Each capsule includes a first domed end, a second domed end, and a semicylindrical portion extending between and connecting the first domed end to the second domed end. The method further includes forming a second portion of a high-pressure fluid vessel with the molding process. The second portion of the high-pressure fluid vessel is positioned adjacent to the first portion of the high-pressure fluid vessel. The second portion of the high-pressure fluid vessel is welded to the first portion of the high-pressure fluid vessel.

The invention relates a pressure vessel (100) configured for storing a fluid under pressure, said pressure vessel comprising: a thermoplastic liner (40) having a cylindrical section (41), a first rounded end section (42) and a second rounded end section (42); a reinforcement structure (50) made of a composite material, said reinforcement structure surrounding at least the cylindrical section of the thermoplastic liner; and a local reinforcement layer (20).

A method for the production of a bladder accumulator (10) that separates two media chambers (16, 18) from one another in a storage housing (12) by a bladder body (14). The following production steps include extruding a plastic tube over the bladder body (14), shaping the plastic tube with the integrated bladder body (14) in a molding tool that corresponds to a predeterminable plastic core container (20), and winding at least one plastic fiber from the outside on the plastic core container (20) for the purpose of creating the storage housing (12).

A manufacturing method for a pressure tank includes disposing a preform, in which a fiber layer is formed on an outer surface of a liner that forms an internal space of a pressure tank, within a mold, and rotating the preform in a circumferential direction within the mold with a central axis of the preform as a rotation center while resin is injected toward the preform disposed within the mold from a gate.

A pressure vessel having a hollow body wound with a continuous filament, whereby the filament is embedded in a thermoplastic matrix, is provided, as well as a method for producing such a vessel. The method involves: (i) wrapping a hollow body with at least one continuous filament; (ii) impregnating the filament winding with a polymerizable mixture, whereby the wound body is inside a mold that surrounds the wound body; and (iii) polymerizing the polymerizable mixture in order to form a plastic matrix that embeds the filament winding.

Multilayer structure intended for the transportation, for the distribution and for the storage of hydrogen, including, from the inside toward the outside, at least one leaktightness layer (1) and at least one composite reinforcing layer (2), said innermost composite reinforcing layer being wound around said outermost adjacent leaktightness layer (1), said leaktightness layers having a composition predominantly including: at least one aliphatic polyamide thermoplastic polymer P1i, i=1 to n, n being the number of semicrystalline leaktightness layers, the Tm of which, as measured according to ISO 11357-3: 2013, is greater than 200? C., with the exclusion of a polyether block amide (PEBA), said polyamide thermoplastic polymer being a polyamide exhibiting a mean number of carbon atoms per nitrogen atom of from 7 to 9, up to 30% by weight of impact modifier, up to 1.5% by weight of plasticizer, said composition being devoid of nucleating agent.
