HIGH-PRESSURE TANK AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HIGH-PRESSURE TANK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18150981 titled 'HIGH-PRESSURE TANK AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HIGH-PRESSURE TANK
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a high-pressure tank that consists of a reinforcing layer and a liner with gas-barrier properties. The reinforcing layer includes a cylindrical reinforcing pipe and a pair of semispherical reinforcing domes at each end of the pipe.
- The high-pressure tank has a reinforcing layer and a liner with gas-barrier properties.
- The reinforcing layer consists of a cylindrical reinforcing pipe and a pair of semispherical reinforcing domes.
- The liner is disposed on the inner surface of the reinforcing layer.
- One semispherical reinforcing dome is located at the first end of the reinforcing pipe, and the other one is located at the second end.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Compressed gas storage tanks for various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and energy.
- Pressure vessels for industrial processes requiring high-pressure storage.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a high-pressure tank with improved structural integrity and gas-barrier properties.
- The reinforcing layer enhances the strength and durability of the tank.
- The liner ensures a gas-tight seal, preventing leakage.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased safety due to improved structural integrity and gas-barrier properties.
- Enhanced durability and lifespan of the high-pressure tank.
- Suitable for storing and transporting compressed gases at high pressures.
Original Abstract Submitted
A high-pressure tank includes a reinforcing layer and a liner having a gas-barrier property and disposed on an inner surface of the reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer includes a cylindrical reinforcing pipe having a plurality of cylindrical pipe forming portions coupled together, and a pair of semispherical reinforcing domes, one of the pair of semispherical reinforcing domes being disposed at a first end of the reinforcing pipe, and the other one of the pair of semispherical reinforcing domes being disposed at a second end of the reinforcing pipe.
