    Abstract: Advantages such as reduced emissions of NOx can be achieved if engines are fuelled with mixtures of gaseous fuels such as hydrogen and natural gas. It is also desirable to store the gaseous fuels separately so that the fuel mixture ratio can be changed responsive to engine operating conditions. However, compared to liquid fuels, a problem with storing gaseous fuels is that they generally require larger storage volumes to hold an equivalent amount of fuel on an energy basis. There are also obstacles to storing some gaseous fuels such as hydrogen in liquefied form because of the energy required to liquefy them and the extremely low temperatures needed to store such gaseous fuels in liquefied form. The invention relates to an apparatus for increasing the storage density of gaseous fuels such as hydrogen by storing them in gaseous form at high pressures and at sub-ambient temperatures. An apparatus is provided for separately storing a first gaseous fuel and a second gaseous fuel. A first vessel defines a first thermally insulated space for holding the first gaseous fuel in a liquefied form. A second thermally insulated space that can hold the second fuel is disposed within the first vessel. The second thermally insulated space is separated from the first thermally insulated space by a thermally conductive fluid barrier. The second gaseous fuel liquefies at a lower temperature than the first gaseous fuel, whereby the second gaseous fuel can be stored within the second thermally insulated space in a gaseous form at a sub-ambient temperature.

    Abstract: An electrochemically active hydrogen diffusion barrier which comprises an anode layer, a cathode layer, and an intermediate electrolyte layer, which is conductive to protons and substantially impermeable to hydrogen. A catalytic metal present in or adjacent to the anode layer catalyzes an electrochemical reaction that converts any hydrogen that diffuses through the electrolyte layer to protons and electrons. The protons and electrons are transported to the cathode layer and reacted to form hydrogen. The hydrogen diffusion barrier is applied to a polymeric substrate used in a storage tank to store hydrogen under high pressure. A storage tank equipped with the electrochemically active hydrogen diffusion barrier, a method of fabricating the storage tank, and a method of preventing hydrogen from diffusing out of a storage tank are also disclosed.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a reservoir (1) for containing a fluid under pressure and which can be accommodated in a compartment which is comprised of parallelepiped volumes. The inventive reservoir (2) consists of at least two opposing arched walls, (12) whereby the edges of said walls curve inwards towards the inside of the reservoir according to a substantially arc shaped profile, in addition to a reinforcement (9) which is provided with a seat (15) at each end, whereby said seat is bellmouthed according to the same arc shaped profile as that of the shaft (12) so that it can be adjusted inside the corresponding shaft of each of the two walls (2) that are disposed opposite to the reservoir and maintain the distance between both walls. The seat (15) of the reinforcements (9) is applied to a portion of the shaft (12) in which it is inserted. The invention can be used with LPG vehicles.
