Abstract: A fluid pressurization device 10 comprises a pressure container 12 and a first bladder 14, a second bladder 16 and a sheet 18, that are located in the pressure container 12. The bladders 14 and 16 have pipe connectors 32 and 40, respectively, for filling/discharging fluid from the bladders. The bladders 14 and 16 are located in the container 12 adjacent one another, with the bladder 16 being folded in concertina fashion and the sheet 18 being wrapped around the bladder 16 to form a roll surrounding the folded bladder 16. In use, the bladder 14 is filled with a combustible fluid such as oxygen and the bladder 16 is filled with compressed air to a relatively higher pressure than the oxygen in the bladder 14 for pressurizing the oxygen contained therein. As oxygen is delivered from bladder 14, the sheet 18 unravels gradually, allowing the bladder 16 to continue to exert a force on the bladder 14.

Abstract: A pressure vessel assembly, and method of use, for storing a gas at an elevated pressure. The assembly includes a vessel body having a rigid wall with an inner surface defining a storage chamber and with an inlet allowing the gas to enter the storage chamber. The assembly includes a flexible liner positioned within the storage chamber to be in fluid communication with the inlet to receive any fluid entering the vessel body. The liner is formed of an elastic inner layer contacting the gas and a metallic outer surface. The inflated, unrestrained liner volume is generally at least as large as the chamber volume and more typically, slightly larger. Stored gas contacts the inner surface of the liner and expands the liner from a smaller deflated volume until the outer surface of the liner contacts the wall of the pressure vessel.

Abstract: A resilient multi-layer container is configured to receive a quantity of hyperpolarized noble fluid such as gas and includes a wall with at least two layers, a first layer with a surface which minimizes contact-induced spin-relaxation and a first or second layer which is substantially impermeable to oxygen. The container is especially suitable for collecting and transporting 3He. The resilient container can be formed of material layers which are concurrently responsive to pressure such as polymers, deuterated polymers, or metallic films. The container can include a capillary stem and/or a port or valve isolation means to inhibit the flow of gas from the main volume of the container during transport. The resilient container can be configured to directly deliver the hyperpolarized noble gas to a target interface by deflating or collapsing the inflated resilient container. In addition, single layer resilient containers with T1's of above 4 hours for 129Xe and above 6 hours for 3He include materials with selected relaxivity values. In addition, a bag with a port fitting or valve member and one or more of a capillary stem and port isolation means is configured to minimize the depolarizing effect of the container valve or fitting(s). Also disclosed is a method for determining the gas solubility in an unknown polymer or liquid using the measured relaxation time of a hyperpolarized gas.
