Hydrogen Gas Storage Tank Design

In the 1970s we pioneered one of the first hydrogen fuel tanks a composite tank installed on a dodge pickup truck.

Hydrogen gas storage tank design.

The hydrogen tanks of doosan mobility innovation are type iv composite material tanks with a high storage efficiency. The baseline composite tank will have a 3 600 psi service pressure an outer diameter of 42 8 inches and a length of 38 3 feet. Applications include automotive transit buses bulk hauling and stationary storage. In this project lincoln composites will design and qualify a large composite tank and iso frame that can be used for storage and transport of compressed hydrogen gas over road rail or water.

The hydrogen is stored under high pressure in hydrogen storage tanks designed and adapted to facilitate transport. The project plans to optimize the distribution mode by centralizing the compression which would reduce the costs of setting up a station with the possibility of changing it according to each request thus facilitating its deployment. The hydrogen tank is a proven technology that is used to make fuel cell vehicles and is becoming more common in markets because of its numerous strengths. Compressed and liquefied hydrogen.

This fueling activity will likely require vehicle owners and operators to operate fueling equipment although in some states all fueling is conducted by fueling station personnel. Fueling a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle requires approximately five. 10 000 psi were demonstrated in 2001 the first fuel cell vehicles on the road with type iv tanks are the toyota fchv mercedes benz f cell and the gm hydrogen4. Today we work with oems around the world to produce hydrogen tanks for fuel cell and internal combustion engine storage.

We offer full service design manufacturing and in house testing capabilities to meet your exact design and certification requirements. In the tanks there is a working pressure of up to 700 bar which means about 10 kg of carbon fiber for 1 kg of hydrogen storage that s a lot. One of the problems is the efficient and safe storage of hydrogen in the vehicle says thorsten groene ceo of the munich based fiber patch placement specialist cevotec. Steelhead offers a range of standard sizes to best meet your design criteria.

Steelhead hydrogen pressure vessels are a cost efficient solution for gaseous storage for hydrogen fuel cell systems. The first type iv hydrogen tanks for compressed hydrogen at 700 bars 70 mpa. Compressed hydrogen in hydrogen tanks at 350 bar 5 000 psi and 700 bar 10 000 psi is used for hydrogen tank systems in vehicles based on type iv carbon composite technology. Compressed hydrogen is a storage form whereby hydrogen gas is kept under pressures to increase the storage density.
