Abstract:
A pressure vessel made of plastic consists of an intermediate tubular part closed at each end by an integral end wall. The vessel includes an internally centered tubular part interconnected to said intermediate part by radially extending partition walls. The walls form a plurality of interconnected fluid compartments. The internal walls receive and transmit axial forces operating on the end walls into all walls of the vessel.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pressure vessel (1) comprising at least one intermediate part (4) with an end wall (2, 3) connected to each of its ends (1A, 1B), and longitudinal internally reinforcing walls dividing said intermediate part (4) into fluid-accommodating compartments. The intermediate part (4) with enclosed reinforcing walls consists of an extruded profile with reinforcement and an intermediate part casing integrated with one another, and the respective end walls (2, 3) are capable of attachment by fastening means to the end of the respective intermediate part so that forces arising inside the vessel as a result of the internal overpressure against the respective end wall (2, 3) are distributed so that they act axially in the intermediate part (4), both in its outer casing and internal reinforcement.The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of the pressure vessel in accordance with the invention.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an arrangement for a fuel tank for heavy vehicles. A middle section, which consists of plastic or aluminum material with an at least essentially identical transcurrent cross section in a horizontal direction viewed in the longitudinal direction, exhibits internal partitions extending horizontally in the longitudinal direction and bulkheads extending across the aforementioned partitions in the longitudinal direction. Pairs of end pieces forming end walls exhibit essentially the same profile as the circumference of the middle section and at least parts of the cross section of the partitions as end pieces which meet one another and middle sections for welding together at the respective ends of the assembled fuel tank. The partitions of the end pieces exhibit recesses forming connecting paths between the various formed sections in the middle section. Longitudinally extending recesses in the middle section are provided preferably for the purpose of receiving reinforcement and/or for suspending the fuel tank. The invention also relates to a process for the manufacture of the tank.
