  • Patent number: 10787747
    Abstract: An electrolytic cell for generating hydrogen through the electrolysis of water, including an anodic compartment and a cathodic compartment separated by a solid polymeric electrolyte alkaline membrane. The anodic compartment includes a positive electrode or anode at least partially submerged in a layer of water, and the cathodic compartment includes a negative electrode or cathode. The cell is arranged between a first closing plate and a second closing plate. A tie-rod, provided in the central portion of the first closing plate, passes through the first closing plate, the cell and the second closing plate. A central collector for conveying the hydrogen generated in the cathodic compartment is arranged coaxially to the tie-rod and is in communication with the cathodic compartment through an opening formed in the tie-rod.

  • Patent number: 10072797
    Abstract: Method for the production of a high-resistance tank has an initial stage in which a closed metal vessel is formed, followed by a second stage in which the walls of the vessel are subjected to a mechanical pre-tensioning treatment in both the axial and radial directions, up to a predetermined value. This mechanical treatment has a stage in which the tank is enclosed inside a mould of suitably larger dimensions. A liquid is then introduced in the tank and pressurized until the tank walls are dilated and stretched to a point where they encounter the mould inner surface. Subsequently, the outside of the tank is coated with one or more layers of composite material, so as to complete the construction of the tank, upon which a final auto-frettage treatment is carried out. The type of steel to be used is AISI 304, preferably in its more weldable AISI 304L version.

  • Publication number: 20120085727
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a collar (4) for high-pressure bottles (and the process for its implementation), characterized in that it is composed of two elements attachable to each other, which can be integrated in the mass (3) of the container itself, formed of composite material, metal alloy, synthetic material, resins and reinforcement fibers. The internal—extractable—element (4.2) of the nozzle (4) presents in its internal part a hexagonal through hole (9), whereas the upper part presents a thread for fixation of a valve or tap; on the upper external part there is located a thread for coupling with the external element (4.9), whereas on the lower part there is an annular seat for receiving a seal (5) in direct contact with the core (2). A similar seal (5) is provided on the external element (4.9). Between the two elements (4.2) and (4.

  • Publication number: 20090068303
    Abstract: A mandrel for providing a tubular article, comprising a supporting structure for the sliding guiding of a side wall constituted by a plurality of plate-shaped elements which can move according to a rule of motion which provides for a forward stroke and a return stroke. The elements are guided in a translational motion by members for the coupling and guiding of the elements with respect to the supporting structure. The mandrel comprises a plurality of actuators which are functionally associated with the plate-shaped elements for the controlled translational motion, along the guided path, of the plate-shaped elements according to presettable rules of motion.
