New generation of filament-wound composite pressure vessels for commercial applications

Improving the energy storage capability of hot water tanks through wall material specification

“…Whilst Polyethylene can be joined easily at low temperatures, its relatively low tensile strength limits its application without reinforcement from other materials within a composite assembly. Composite pressure vessels have been developed where a pre-tensioned continuous filament winding is wrapped around an inner liner material to achieve high strength and low weight [47]. Given the relatively low pressures that domestic hot water systems operate at, composite wall structures will not be considered in this paper.…”

Thermo-mechanical investigation of composite high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinder during fast filling

“…Currently, the composite pressure vessels develop rapidly in the field of hydrogen storage due to their advantages such as high strength/stiffness-to-weight ratios [3]. For example, the hydrogen fuel cell cars used in both 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and 2010 Shanghai World Exposition used composite high pressure storage vessel.…”

Performance index optimization of pressure vessels manufactured by filament winding technology

“…Filament-wound pressure vessels represent the proper choice to obtain good mechanical properties and lightweight. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] The pressure vessel geometry is generally cylindrical and the wall is composed of a 'liner' and a 'shell.' The liner holds the gas and guards the shell from chemical attacks.…”
