Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cryogenic hydrogen storage vessel includes an outer vacuum vessel, a reinforcement ring on the outer vacuum vessel, an inner pressure vessel inside of the outer vacuum vessel, and a vacuum space between the outer vacuum vessel and the inner pressure vessel. One embodiment of the cryogenic hydrogen storage vessel includes an outer vacuum vessel; a hump-shaped reinforcement ring on the outer vacuum vessel, the hump-shaped reinforcement ring including an external hump portion that protrudes from the hump-shaped reinforcement ring and an internal recess in the hump-shaped reinforcement ring; an inner pressure vessel inside of the outer vacuum vessel, a vacuum space between the outer vacuum vessel and the inner pressure vessel, and a composite support ring in the vacuum space extending from the hump-shaped reinforcement ring on the outer vacuum vessel to the inner pressure vessel, the composite support ring nested in the recess in the hump-shaped reinforcement ring.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A cryogenic hydrogen storage vessel apparatus, comprising: an outer vacuum vessel; a reinforcement ring on said outer vacuum vessel, wherein said reinforcement ring includes a hump portion that protrudes outward from said outer vacuum vessel and a recess within said outer vacuum vessel; an inner pressure vessel inside of said outer vacuum vessel; a vacuum space between said outer vacuum vessel and said inner pressure vessel; and a composite support ring in said vacuum space wherein said composite support ring is located in said recess within said outer vacuum vessel and extends from said reinforcement ring on said outer vacuum vessel to said inner pressure vessel.
