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.

A high-pressure composite container having a gastight nozzle structure includes a metal nozzle formed at a side of an inlet of a plastic liner layer that defines an inner layer of the high-pressure composite container; a nozzle insert which is inserted into and attached to the metal nozzle in a direction from an inner side of the plastic liner layer to an outer side of the plastic liner layer; and a nut member fixed to an upper end portion of the nozzle insert.

A storage tank includes a frame, tank assembly, and scrubber system. The tank assembly including a vessel supported by the frame and having a first end, a second end, and a sidewall extending from the first end to the second end. The vessel further has a top, a bottom, at least one side, an internal surface, and an outlet fluidly coupled with the bottom. A scrubber tank is supported by the frame and fluidly connected to the a top of the vessel to receive vapors from the vessel in a way that when a vapor absorption material is disposed in the scrubber tank, the vapors pass into the vapor absorption material.

A method for renovating the interior of a hollow structure such as a sewerage pit (1) is described. The method provides an access opening (16) to the hollow structure (1); provides a plurality of material sheets (3) comprising reinforcing fibers and a curable resin composition through the access opening (16) and against a wall (11a, 11b) of the hollow structure (1); and provides an inflatable pressure means (4a, 4b) within the hollow structure (1). The pressure means (4a, 4b) are inflated against the wall (11a, 11b). A curing means (6) is then provided within the hollow structure (1) for curing the resin composition; and the resin composition is cured to harden the material sheets and provide a renovated interior of the hollow structure (1).

A bladder-type pressure tank includes an outer shell, a bladder, a nozzle, and an elbow pipe. The outer shell includes a liner and a glass-fiber layer covering the outer surface of the liner. The liner includes polyethylene (PE). The liner further includes a chamber, a first opening, and a second opening. The bladder is disposed in the chamber. In an inflated state of the bladder, a gap is formed between the inflated bladder and the inner surface of the liner. The bladder includes polyurethane (PU). The nozzle is integrated with the bladder, and is disposed in the first opening and seals the first opening. The elbow pipe includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the elbow pipe is disposed in the second opening and communicates with the chamber; and the second end of the elbow pipe is configured to connect to a pipeline.

The present invention relates to a knob cap for a high-pressure tank including a coupling groove portion corresponding to a knob of a liner of the high-pressure tank formed in a lower surface of a body; a peripheral wing portion extending outward in a lower end of an outer circumferential surface of the body to be in contact with a surface of the liner; and a thickness conversion portion formed in the outer circumferential surface of the body to change a thickness between a center line and the outer circumferential surface.

A pressure vessel for storing fluid is disclosed. The pressure vessel includes a metallic liner comprising a cylindrical portion and a pair of ellipsoidal domes positioned at opposite ends of the cylindrical portion. Further, the pressure vessel includes a composite material wrapped over the cylindrical portion and the pair of ellipsoidal domes. The composite material is formed of a polymeric matrix reinforced with fibers, the composite material comprises of a combination of hoop layers and helical layers which are positioned in predetermined order with respect to each other. A hoop layer is wrapped over a cylindrical portion of the metallic liner of the pressure vessel and a helical layer is wrapped over both the cylindrical portion and the pair of ellipsoidal domes. The helical layer is wrapped on each of the pair of ellipsoidal domes in a manner that a helical angle is defined at an intersection between the cylindrical portion and the pair of ellipsoidal domes.
