Carbon fiber composite vessel

In order to match the safety issues, future pressure vessels include three layers an inner polymer liner, overwrapped with a high-strength and high-elasticity carbon fiber composite, and an outer layer of an aramid-material capable of withstanding mechanical and corrosion damage [107],...

Currently, two types of CGH2 vessels are under discussion the so-called type 111 and tyqre IV tanks. A type 111 vessel consists of an inner metallic liner and sheets of carbon-fiber composites. The tiner prevents hydrogen permeation and the composite is required for the necessary mechanical strength and stability. In the case of a type IV vessel, the metallic tiner is replaced by a plastic one, typically high-density polyethylene (HD-PET). Most automotive companies prefer type IV vessels since they provide major advantages versus type III cylinders ...

Figure 2 shows the system schematic for a direct hydrogen reformer/fuel cell system. Compressed hydrogen is stored in a carbon-fiber wrapped composite vessel at pressures up to 340 atm. It is fed through a control valve to the fuel cell at 2 atm, where it reacts with oxygen from air to generate electricity and heat. Unreacted hydrogen is...

For larger racing vessels, the materials are closer to aerospace sandwich materials, with carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite skins on honeycomb or foam cores widely used. In these boats, there...
