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 method of making a cryogenic hydrogen storage vessel, comprising the steps of: providing a cylindrical outer vacuum vessel having a cylindrical outer surface, providing a reinforcement ring, positioning said reinforcement ring on said cylindrical outer surface of said cylindrical outer vacuum vessel, welding said reinforcement ring onto said cylindrical outer surface of said cylindrical outer vacuum vessel, providing a hump portion on said reinforcement ring that wherein said hump portion protrudes outward from said outer vacuum vessel and providing a recess in said reinforcement ring that extends inward from said outer vacuum vessel and providing a recess in said reinforcement ring that extends inward from said outer vacuum vessel, positioning an inner pressure vessel inside of said outer vacuum vessel, providing a vacuum space between said inner pressure vessel and said outer vacuum vessel, and positioning a composite support ring in said vacuum space extending from said reinforcement ring on said outer vacuum vessel to said inner pressure vessel wherein said composite support ring extends from said recess in said reinforcement ring on said outer vacuum vessel to said inner pressure vessel. 2. The method of making a cryogenic hydrogen storage vessel of claim 1 wherein said reinforcement ring has feet and wherein said step of welding said reinforcement ring onto said cylindrical outer surface of said cylindrical outer vacuum vessel includes welding said feet of said reinforcement ring onto said cylindrical outer surface of said outer vacuum vessel. 3. The method of making a cryogenic hydrogen storage vessel of claim 1 wherein said step of providing a hump portion on said reinforcement ring includes providing a rounded protuberance extending from said cylindrical outer surface of said outer vacuum vessel.
