A pressure vessel made of two thin-walled, closed-end tube sections joined at a central hub that encircles the open ends of the two closed-end tube sections, with a plurality of radial bolts attaching the sections together. The central hub has an O-ring groove in which an O-ring rests, providing a seal between the interior of the pressure vessel and the outside. The inner wall of the central hub may have radially thin and radially thick sections to distribute and minimize weight without sacrificing strength. The assembly may be attached to a mounting surface through a dovetail mount on the central hub.

Scalable greenhouse gas capture systems and methods to allow a user to off-load exhaust captured in an on-board vehicle exhaust capture device and to allow for a delivery vehicle or other transportation mechanism to obtain and transport the exhaust. The systems and methods may involve one or more exhaust pumps, each with an exhaust nozzle corresponding to a vehicle exhaust port. Upon engagement with the vehicle exhaust port, the exhaust nozzle may create an air-tight seal between the exhaust nozzle and the vehicle exhaust port. A first pipe may be configured to transport captured exhaust therethrough from the exhaust nozzle to. The captured exhaust may be at least temporarily stored in an exhaust holding tank connected to and in fluid communication with the first pipe.

A valve for a fluid reservoir includes an inner portion configured to be arranged inside the reservoir, the inner portion including at least one portion of a sensor for measuring at least one parameter characterizing the fluid, the valve being capable of receiving information from a computer, external to the valve, the valve also includes an outer portion configured to be arranged outside the reservoir, the outer portion having an internal computer that acquires data from the at least one sensor, communicates bidirectionally with the external computer, takes into account information received from the external computer and data from the at least one sensor for controlling at least one actuator of the valve, and measures at least one current parameter in the electrical connection.

A multilayer structure for storing hydrogen, including, from the inside, at least one sealing layer and at least one composite reinforcement layer, an innermost composite reinforcement layer being welded to an outermost adjacent sealing layer, the sealing layers being a composition predominantly of: at least one semi-crystalline polyamide thermoplastic polymer P1i, i=1 to n, n being the number of sealing layers, excluding an amide polyether block (PEBA), up to 50% by weight of impact modifier relative to the total weight of the composition, up to 1.5% by weight of plasticizer relative to the total weight of the composition, and at least one of the composite reinforcement layers of a fibrous material in the form of continuous fibers, which is impregnated with a composition predominantly of at least one semi-crystalline polyamide polymer P2j, j=1 to m, m being the number of reinforcement layers.

An automatic obstruction device for closing a filling circuit for filling a tank with fluid includes: a movable element movable between a non-obstruction position of the filling circuit, in which the movable element offers resistance to the fluid compatible with the filling of the tank, and an obstruction position of the filling circuit, in which the movable offers a resistance to the fluid that is incompatible with the filling of the tank; a holding element of the movable element holding the movable element in the non-obstruction position, and allowing movement of the movable element toward the obstruction position; and a first device of non-reversible movement or of non-reversible modification of the holding element allowing movement of the movable element toward the obstruction position, and being controllable by a control device.

Disclosed is a gas discharge apparatus for liquefied hydrogen storage tanks, the gas discharge apparatus including a receptacle mounted to a liquefied hydrogen storage tank, the receptacle having a stationary valve configured to be opened by external force mounted therein, a multistage opening and closing device coupled to the receptacle such that the position of the multistage opening and closing device is adjustable, the multistage opening and closing device being configured to be opened by reaction force transmitted from the receptacle when moved relative to the receptacle, the multistage opening and closing device having a sliding valve configured to push open the stationary valve in the state in which the multistage opening and closing device is open, and a manipulation unit configured to move the multistage opening and closing device relative to the receptacle such that the sliding valve and the stationary valve are sequentially opened.

A motor vehicle includes at least one pressure vessel for storing fuel, and at least one holder for holding the pressure vessel. When installed, the holder encloses one end of the pressure vessel. The holder has a hard shell and an inner layer, wherein at least regions of the inner layer, when installed, are arranged between the hard shell and the connecting element. The hard shell has a higher rigidity than the inner layer.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle having a storage assembly for storing and dispensing a pressurized gas. The storage assembly includes a first storage cylinder section and a second storage cylinder section that each have multiple storage cylinders arranged longitudinally parallel to one another in a first layer and at least in a second layer. The storage cylinders are fluidically connected to one another in a meandering manner by a plurality storage cylinder loops. Each of the storage cylinder loops is connected to an axial end of a storage cylinder disposed in the first layer and an axial end of a storage cylinder disposed in the second layer. The storage assembly includes a cross member frictionally connected to the body of the vehicle and arranged in an interstice defined between the first and second storage cylinder sections.

The invention relates to a tank for storing hydrogen by absorption into a hydrogen-storage material. The tank contains a chamber, a hydrogen feed inlet, a hydrogen discharge outlet, and an inner structure for storing the hydrogen-storage material. The inner structure contains a stack along a longitudinal axis of at least two levels for containing the storage material. Each level includes a distributor cup, a receiver cup for the storage material, and a collector cup. The distributor cups, receiver cups and collector cups are stacked one on top of the other and rigidly and sealingly connected to one another. The invention also relates to a distribution pipe distributing in parallel hydrogen in the distributor cups such that, for each level, hydrogen flows from each distributor cup to the collector cup by passing through the storage material.
