Abstract:
A pressure vessel and a system of a vehicle with such a pressure vessel, wherein the pressure vessel is suitable for storage of pressurized fluids, comprising a housing which extends along a longitudinal axis. The housing defines an inner volume. The shape of the housing, in longitudinal cross-section, is defined by the circumference of a set of circles. The set of circles comprises a central circle, with a center point which is defined by the longitudinal axis, and four primary peripheral circles each of which intersects with the central circle at two points. The primary peripheral circles are axially distributed on the central circle in opposing pairs.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for forming a fibre reinforced pressure vessel having at least one fastener for fastening an element to an outside of the pressure vessel. The method comprises a step of providing a semi-finished fibre reinforced pressure vessel having a cover layer comprising a rubber or rubberlike material, preferably a material comprising and/or being formed at least partly by a polyurethane material and/or an elastomer material. The method further comprises a step of forming a fastener for fastening an element to the outside of the pressure vessel, by moulding said fastener onto the cover layer, wherein said fastener is moulded from a substantially liquid rubber or rubberlike material.
