  • Publication number: 20100096392
    Abstract: There is provided a cylindrical fixing flange structure for a high-pressure gas container filled with high-pressure gas. The cylindrical fixing flange structure includes a high-pressure side primary seal zone provided with a metal touch seal and an atmosphere-side secondary seal zone provided with an elastomer seal. The high-pressure side primary seal zone and the atmosphere-side secondary seal zone are arranged adjacently to each other in the cylinder direction of the high-pressure gas container. The cylindrical fixing flange structure is a sealing structure which has a high degree of freedom of design and is suitable for a high-pressure hydrogen gas container for a fuel cell, in which the durability and reliability against pressurization/depressurization stress, which poses a problem with the sealing structure using elastomer seal only, are ensured, the gastightness is high, and the volume, especially the transverse width, of sealing structure is restrained.

  • Publication number: 20090194545
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a high-pressure hydrogen container that is filled with hydrogen at high pressures, in which at least one elastomer is used as a sealing material, such elastomer having a hydrogen gas permeability coefficient or helium gas permeability coefficient of 5.0×10?10 to 5.0×10?9 cm3 (STP)·cm/cm2·sec·cmHg, is provided. The following main technical objectives for realizing sealing with an elastomer material for a high-pressure hydrogen container (CHG tank) system for fuel-cell vehicles are achieved: (1) good durability in variable pressure environments of high-pressure hydrogen is imparted to such elastomer material; and (2) good anti-permanent deformation properties in low-temperature and high-temperature environments are imparted to such elastomer material.

  • Patent number: 7256746
    Abstract: A molded component for the beam path of a radar apparatus with a low radio transmission loss and improved hardness and abrasion resistance is provided. The molded component for the beam path of a radar apparatus comprises a base body 21 composed of a cyclic polyolefin resin layer, and a bright decoration layer 24 disposed on the surface of the base body. Preferably, by disposing a modified layer 22 treated by plasma ion etching and/or highly concentrated ozone water especially on the surface of the cyclic polyolefin resin, wettability on the surface is improved, thereby substantially improving the adhesion to the bright decoration layer.
