Abstract:
A double-wall tank comprising at least one piping connecting system and to a method for assembling a double-wall tank provided with at least one piping connecting system. An inner connecting part is coupled to an comprises an inner part hole. The inner part hole and an inner wall hole of the inner wall are coincident. An outer connecting part is coupled to an outer wall and comprises an outer part hole. The outer part hole and an outer wall hole of the outer wall are coincident. One or more pipes pass through the outer part hole, the outer wall hole, the inner part hole, the inner wall hole. The pipe is coupled, in a fluid-tight fit, to the inner part hole and the outer part hole.
Abstract:
An array of pressure vessels for storage of a compressed gas includes at least one Type 4 pressure vessel and at least one Type 1 pressure vessel. The Type 1 pressure vessel is in fluid communication with the at least one Type 4 pressure vessel. A metal wall of the at least one Type 1 pressure vessel has a Type 1 thermal conductance that is greater than a Type 4 thermal conductance of the at least one Type 4 pressure vessel.
Abstract:
A system for dispensing cryogenic liquid includes a container defining an interior with a partition dividing the interior into primary and reserve chambers. Cryogenic liquid within the primary chamber is separated from cryogenic liquid in the reserve chamber. The partition provides a headspace communication passage so that the headspaces of the primary and reserve chambers are in fluid communication with one another. A primary pressure building circuit has an inlet selectively in liquid communication with the primary chamber and an outlet in fluid communication with the headspaces of the primary and reserve chambers. A reserve pressure building circuit has an inlet selectively in liquid communication with the reserve chamber and an outlet in fluid communication with the headspaces of the primary and reserve chambers of the tank. An equalizing circuit is selectively in liquid communication with the primary and reserve chambers. A dispensing line is selectively in liquid communication with the primary chamber.
Abstract:
When manufacturing a low-temperature tank (1), a plurality of unit tanks (10) that are able to be connected together by mutually different objects, and that are each capable of storing low-temperature liquefied gas are manufactured in a factory that is distant from a construction site. The unit tanks (10) are then transported to the construction site, and an inner tank (2) is then assembled at the construction site by connecting together the plurality of unit tanks (10). An outer tank (3) is then formed around the inner tank (2).
Abstract:
A fail safe container and container insert are disclosed. A flexible container insert may convert energy from a catastrophic event, including but not limited to collisions, accidents, impacts, pressure container failures or explosions such as detonations, or other catastrophic incidents, into a stretching of an internal structure of a fail-safe container insert to minimize or prevent failure of the container insert and/or the container. The stretchability of the container insert may accommodate both temperature and shape changes to protect a container, including but not limited to a pressure vessel, from rupture or other failure. Accordingly, a container insert may be considered self-healing in that it may absorb the effects of catastrophic events to prevent failure, may return to a generally previous condition, and/or may seal or otherwise reduce or minimize breaches when they do occur.
Abstract:
A fluid storage tank according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a first outer wall section that forms a front face in the length direction, the width direction and the height direction so as to form a space portion in which a fluid is stored; a plurality of partition plates arranged along the length direction of the first outer wall portion to divide the space portion into the plurality of sub-space portions; and an end portion located between the outermost partition plate of the plurality of partition plates and the first outer wall portion, wherein each of the partition plates is formed with a fluid through hole comprising: a gas through hole located on the top of the partition plate; and a liquid through hole located on the bottom of the partition plate so that fluids between the sub-pace portions are in communication with each other.
Abstract:
A system for processing objects to be cleaned that includes a processing vessel, and a storage vessel that includes an upper section for storing clean liquid and a lower section for storing dirty liquid. The upper section and lower section are in flow communication.
Abstract:
A fluid storage tank includes a plurality of tank sub-units disposed in an array. Each tank sub-unit of the plurality of tank sub-units has an aperture defined in at least one wall overlapping with another aperture defined in at least one adjacent tank sub-unit of the plurality of tank sub-units. Each tank sub-unit of the plurality of tank sub-units is in fluid communication with a single outlet port for selectively extracting a stored fluid from the tank. Each of the plurality of tank sub-units is in fluid communication with a single fluid fill port.
Abstract:
Provided is a pressure tank having a lattice structure, including: a tank body that has a high-pressure fluid accommodated therein and is manufactured to have a prismatic shape; and cell structures that are disposed in the prismatic tank body, are manufactured in a lattice form, arrive from one side wall of the tank body to the other side wall thereof facing it, and are orthogonally arranged regularly.
Abstract:
A flat inner container (3), especially an internal tank for a road vehicle, which is surrounded by an outer container (1) and is used for receiving a cryogenic liquid, particularly a fuel. The inner container (3) comprises a combination of the following features: a longitudinally extending monolithic base (4) with a top wall (5) and a bottom wall (6) which are connected to also longitudinally extending sidewalls (7), and with at least two longitudinally extending, substantially straight webs (9) that connect the bottom wall (6) to the top wall (5) so as to form at least one longitudinally extending chamber (10) which is arranged between the webs, extends along the entire length of the base (4) as well as from the bottom wall (6) to the top wall (5), and has a predetermined width between the webs; and at least two caps (11) which tightly seal the two open ends of the base (4) at the periphery; the top wall and/or the bottom wall is/are provided with an arch relative to a planar reference top wall and/or reference bottom wall, the distance of the arch between the inner contour of the top wall and/or the bottom wall and the planar reference top wall and/or reference bottom wall amounting to less than 30 percent of the width of the chamber in the center between the webs.
