  • Publication number: 20240084970
    Abstract: A double-wall tank comprising at least one piping connecting system and to a method for assembling a double-wall tank provided with at least one piping connecting system. An inner connecting part is coupled to an comprises an inner part hole. The inner part hole and an inner wall hole of the inner wall are coincident. An outer connecting part is coupled to an outer wall and comprises an outer part hole. The outer part hole and an outer wall hole of the outer wall are coincident. One or more pipes pass through the outer part hole, the outer wall hole, the inner part hole, the inner wall hole. The pipe is coupled, in a fluid-tight fit, to the inner part hole and the outer part hole.

  • Publication number: 20230347607
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a vessel configured for housing a fluid within, the method including: providing at least two at least partially cured fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) structures with complementary shapes configured for matching with each other such that an interior volume is defined when the at least partially cured FRP structures are coupled to each other; coupling the at least partially cured FRP structures to each other such that the interior volume is defined; winding at least one layer of FRP material onto at least a portion of the at least partially cured FRP structures once coupled to each other; and applying a curing cycle to cure the resulting assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230035247
    Abstract: A hydrogen tank for aircraft, including an inner vessel configured to contain hydrogen, first and second outer jacket domes having a semi-spherical shape and first L-shaped ends, a first cylindrical outer jacket established on top of the first and second outer jacket domes, a second cylindrical outer jacket established in the bottom of the first and second outer jacket domes. The first and second cylindrical outer jackets include second L-shaped ends. The first and second L-shaped ends form L-shaped junctions to attach the first and second outer jacket domes to the first and second cylindrical outer jackets.
