A fuel tank comprises a circular column-shaped fuel tank body, a handle, and a first connector. The circular column-shaped fuel tank body is provided so as to be detachably attachable to a fuel-powered device. The handle is formed on one end side in a length direction of the fuel tank body. The first connector is formed on another end side in the length direction of the fuel tank body and configured such that, by installing the fuel tank body to the fuel-powered device, the first connector is connected to a second connector provided at the fuel-powered device so as to enable fuel to be supplied to the fuel-powered device.

An exemplary fuel cell ship is a fuel cell ship for propelling a hull by using electric power supplied by a fuel cell that generates electric power through an electrochemical reaction of fuel, and includes at least one compartment including an emission source of the fuel, and a vent pipe through which the fuel in the compartment is released to outside of the hull. A release port of the vent pipe is located at a position higher than a cabin or a bridge provided on the hull.

A low profile flat bombe for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage and method for manufacturing the same, may include a flat bombe body including an upper plate having a plurality of first piercing holes and a pump installation hole formed therethrough, a lower plate having a plurality of second piercing holes formed therethrough at positions vertically coinciding with the plurality of first piercing holes, and side plates integrally connecting first and second side end portions of the upper and lower plates, end plates mounted at front and rear openings in the flat bombe body, and support pipes, wherein upper end portions of the support pipes are welded to internal circumferential portions of the plurality of first piercing holes and lower end portions thereof are welded to internal circumferential portions of the plurality of second piercing holes to maintain a vertical distance between the upper and lower plates.

A mount is configured for attachment to a neck of a pressure vessel that has a body having a height and width. The mount includes a central plate, and first and second flanges. The central plate has a height and width, both of which are approximately equal to or less than the respective height and width of the pressure vessel body, and an aperture. The first and second flanges are located at opposed first and second sides of the central plate, respectively, are oriented substantially perpendicular to the central plate, and are configured to extend toward the body. The central plate has a cut-out portion that borders at least one of the first and second flanges.

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 pressure vessel mounting structure includes: a manifold including a discharge gas passage branching from a general passage via which a container body communicates with a valve; a fusible plug valve configured to close the discharge gas passage and to, when the fusible plug valve is melted, open the discharge gas passage such that the high-pressure gas is discharged; a case including a bottom face portion covering the container body and the manifold from below in the vehicle up-down direction, the case including a bead placed near the fusible plug valve, the bead being formed by protruding a part of the bottom face portion upward in the vehicle up-down direction; and a communicating opening via which a space under a floor of a vehicle communicates with the fusible plug valve, the communicating opening being formed in a part of the bead, the part facing the fusible plug valve.

The invention relates to a pressurized fluid storage and dispensing assembly (1) for a vehicle, comprising: a plurality of pressurized fluid reservoirs (3), each reservoir (3) comprising a first end piece (13) provided with at least one fluid passage duct configured for dispensing fluid from the reservoir (3) and for filling the reservoir (3), a use collector duct (5) which comprises an opening (19) for supplying and/or dispensing fluid and a plurality of orifices, each orifice being configured to be fluidically connected to a reservoir (3) via its fluid passage duct, and an electrically operated valve (7) which is arranged at one end of the use collector duct (5) and selectively closes or opens the fluid passage through the opening (19).

The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such a storage and dispensing assembly (1).

A pressure vessel arrangement includes a plurality of pressure vessels configured to store fuel, and a valve arrangement with at least one valve and a plurality of tank connectors. In the pressure vessel arrangement each pressure vessel of the plurality of pressure vessels is connected to one of the tank connectors. Further, in the pressure vessel arrangement the valve arrangement connects the tank connectors directly to one another and to the at least one valve, such that a fluid exchange which is not impaired at any time by way of a valve is brought about between the individual pressure vessels.

A receiver for a fire suppression system includes a receiving portion configured to receive and couple with a corresponding portion of a cartridge. The receiver includes a translatable member configured to engage a corresponding portion of the cartridge and translate in response to insertion of the cartridge. The receiver includes a switch configured to transition between a first state and a second state in response to translation of the translatable member to indicate whether the cartridge is inserted into the receiving portion.

Provided is a portable cylinder including a tank having an upper portion having a valve port, a mounting collar coupled to the upper portion of the tank, and a handle attached to the mounting collar. The mounting collar has an upwardly extending portion surrounding the valve port and a plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs extending radially outwardly from the upwardly extending portion, wherein a respective gap is formed between adjacent ones of the plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs. The handle includes a shroud portion including a plurality of circumferentially spaced ledges for abutting an underside of a respective one of the plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs, and at least one tab for engaging the mounting collar in one of the gaps, and a handle portion extending from the shroud portion and having one or more areas for grasping the handle.
