Abstract: This manufacturing method is a manufacturing method of a high-pressure tank that is formed by joining dome-shaped side end members to both ends of a cylindrical tube member and that has a first reinforcing layer made of fiber-reinforced resin. The manufacturing method has a joining step of joining the side end members to both ends of the tube member such that an outer wall surface of the tube member and an inner wall surface of each side end member face each other. In the joining step, a margin for overlap between each side end member and the tube member in an axial direction of the tube member is within a range of 5% or more to 35% or less relative to the inside diameter of the tube member.

Abstract: A high pressure tank includes two ferrules, a resin liner that covers outer parts of the ferrules at both end parts of the resin liner to fixedly install the ferrules, and a CFRP reinforcing layer formed on an outer surface side of the resin liner and attached to the resin liner at a center of a body part of the resin liner. Two leading end parts of the resin liner covering the outer parts of the ferrules protrude from end openings provided at both end parts of the CFRP reinforcing layer.

Abstract: A liner includes dome sections having outer surfaces along an uniform stress surface at both ends in an axial direction, and nozzles are mounted on the dome section by introducing nozzle flanges into pedestal sections of apexes of the dome sections. Then, ring-shaped caps having the same linear expansion coefficient as the liner and inner surfaces in a curved surface shape of outer surfaces of the dome sections and the nozzle flanges are mounted on boundary portions between the nozzle flanges and the pedestal sections. In forming a fiber layer after that, a helical winding layer is formed first by winding a fiber bundle disposed at the dome sections to cover the dome sections while including the nozzle flanges.

Abstract: A fuel cell system includes: a high-pressure tank including a resin liner and a reinforcing layer; an acquisition portion configured to acquire a value of an internal pressure and a value of an internal temperature of the high-pressure tank; a notification portion; and a controlling portion. The controlling portion sets, in a map of the internal temperature and the internal pressure, a boundary line sectioning the map into a first region and a second region, the first region indicating a possibility that a stress caused in the resin liner damages the resin liner, the second region being a region having a higher temperature and a higher pressure than the first region. When the value of the internal temperature and the value of the internal pressure reach the boundary line, the controlling portion causes the notification portion to notify that the high-pressure tank needs to be filled with a fuel gas.

Abstract: In a high-pressure tank including a reinforcement layer and a protective layer, using the same resin for the reinforcement layer and the protective layer is likely to cause bubbles produced in the course of curing the resin to remain on the surface of the tank. There is also a possibility that cloudiness occurs on the surface of the tank during the use of the high-pressure tank. There is accordingly provided a high-pressure tank, comprising a liner; a reinforcement layer formed on the liner and including a thermosetting first resin and a fiber; and a protective layer formed on the reinforcement layer and including a thermosetting second resin. A second gelation temperature that is a gelation temperature of the second resin is higher than a first gelation temperature that is a gelation temperature of the first resin. A viscosity of the second resin is lower than a viscosity of the first resin at the first gelation temperature.
