HIGH PRESSURE TANK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240209986 titled 'HIGH PRESSURE TANK
The abstract describes a high-pressure tank with a resin liner and a reinforcing layer of fibers wound around the cylinder portion.
- The tank includes a liner made of resin with a round tubular shaped cylinder portion.
- A first cap member is connected to one end of the cylinder portion, while a second cap member is connected to the other end.
- A reinforcing layer of fibers is hoop-wound along the circumference of the cylinder portion.
- Additional reinforcing members are laid over the cap members, with fibers hoop-wound around them multiple times.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in high-pressure storage tanks for various gases or liquids. - It may find applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, or manufacturing where high-pressure containment is required.
Problems Solved: - Provides a strong and durable structure for high-pressure storage, reducing the risk of leaks or ruptures. - The reinforcing fibers enhance the overall strength and integrity of the tank, ensuring safe operation under high pressure conditions.
Benefits: - Improved safety and reliability in high-pressure storage applications. - Enhanced durability and longevity of the tank due to the reinforced structure.
Commercial Applications: - This technology could be valuable for companies involved in gas storage, chemical processing, or industrial equipment manufacturing. - It may open up opportunities for developing specialized high-pressure storage solutions for specific industries.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the resin liner contribute to the overall strength of the tank? 2. What are the specific advantages of using hoop-wound fibers for reinforcement in high-pressure tanks?
Original Abstract Submitted
a high pressure tank includes: a liner made of resin and including a round tubular shaped cylinder portion; a first cap member connected to a first connecting end portion of the cylinder portion; a second cap member connected to a second connecting end portion of the cylinder portion; and a reinforcing layer including first reinforcing fibers hoop-wound along a circumferential direction of the cylinder portion. reinforcing members are laid over the first cap member and the second cap member. the reinforcing members include second reinforcing fibers hoop-wound around the first cap member and the second cap member a plurality of times.
