Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a thermoplastic polymer bladder (2) for sealing the gases in a type IV composite reservoir (1), and to a type IV reservoir that can be obtained by said method. The inventive method consists of a step for polymerising a precursor monomer of said thermoplastic polymer into said thermoplastic polymer in a rotating mould which is heated to a working temperature higher than or equal to the melting temperature of the monomer and lower than the melting temperature of the polymer, in such a way as to form the inventive bladder (2) by polymerisation of the monomer, coupled to a rotational moulding, and without the obtained thermoplastic polymer melting.
Abstract:
A power generation type power supply for supplying electric power to a device includes a power generation module. The module includes a power generation portion for generating power by using supplied power generation fuel, a fuel pack accommodating section which can accommodate a plurality of fuel packs capable of packing the power generation fuel, and from which the plurality of fuel packs can be independently removed, and a control portion which performs control such that, while the power generation fuel is supplied from one of the plurality of fuel packs accommodated in the fuel pack accommodating section, the power generation fuel is not supplied from the other fuel pack of the plurality of fuel packs.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dimensionally unstable storage container, especially for storing gases and/or gas mixtures, which substantially consists of a gas-permeable material, such as for example a coated rubber or a textile-reinforced polyester. The invention also relates to a method of storing one or more gases or gas mixtures in such a storage container. The dimensionally unstable storage container of the invention is enclosed by at least one further storage container that likewise substantially consists of a gas-permeable material, and/or at least one further storage container that consists of a non-gas-permeable material. According to the inventive method the outer storage compartment(s) is/are filled with an oxygen-free gas or gas mixture, preferably an inert gas or gas mixture.
Abstract:
In a hydrogen or helium container and method for containing the gas, a double-walled housing is provided, which defines an inter-space between the inner and the outer walls, the inter-space being filled with a fluid at a higher pressure than the pressure of the hydrogen or helium contained within the inner wall.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
Embodiments of systems and methods for transporting fuel and carbon dioxide (CO2) in a dual-fluid vessel thereby minimizing transportation between locations are disclosed. In an embodiment, the dual-fluid vessel has an outer shell with two or more inner compartments, positioned within the outer shell, including a first inner compartment for storing CO2 and a second inner compartment for storing fuel. The dual-fluid vessel may connect or attach to a transportation vehicle to thereby allow transportation of the fuel and CO2. Insulation may provide temperature regulation for the fuel and CO2 when positioned in the respective first and second inner compartments. One or more ports having an opening in and through the outer shell and a fluid pathway to one or more of the first inner compartment or the second inner compartment may provide fluid communication through the opening and fluid pathway for loading/offloading the fuel and/or CO2.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of a bladder accumulator (10) which separates two media chambers (16, 18) from one another in a storage housing (12) by means of a bladder body (14), comprising at least the following production steps:—extruding a plastic tube over the bladder body (14);—shaping the plastic tube with the integrated bladder body (14) in a molding tool that corresponds to a predeterminable plastic core container (20), and—winding at least one plastic fiber from the outside on the plastic core container (20) for the purpose of creating the storage housing (12).
