Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pressure vessel includes a vessel main body, a first protective member, and a second protective member. The vessel main body is configured to contain gas inside. The second protective member is configured to exhibit performance that is different from that of the first protective member. One of the first protective member and the second protective member has recesses that the other one of the first protective member and the second protective member does not have at an end on a peak of a domical panel side provided with the one of the first protective member and the second protective member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A pressure vessel comprising: a vessel main body including a cylindrical shell plate, a first domical panel, and a second domical panel, the first domical panel being disposed at first end of the cylindrical shell plate, the second domical panel being disposed at second end of the cylindrical shell plate, the vessel main body being configured to contain gas inside the vessel main body; a first protective member disposed so as to surround a peak of the first domical panel, the first protective member including an end portion having an inner surface defining an opening; and a second protective member disposed so as to surround a peak of the second domical panel, the second protective member including a material different from a material of the first protective member and being configured to exhibit performance that is different from that of the first protective member, wherein the first protective member has one or more first recesses at an end on the peak side of the first domical panel, the one or more first recesses being defined in the inner surface of the end portion of the first protective member, the second protective member has one or more second recesses at an end on the peak side of the second domical panel or no recesses, the one or more second recesses extending from an inner periphery edge of the second protective member, and at least one of a shape, a number, and a disposition of the one or more first recesses is different from at least one of a shape, a number, and a disposition of the one or more second recesses. 2. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein: the vessel main body includes a fusible plug valve in the first domical panel; the first protective member is disposed so as to surround the peak of the first domical panel and the fusible plug valve; and the second protective member has better heat-shielding performance than the first protective member. 3. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein: the one or more first recesses of the first protective member and the one or more second recesses of the second protective member have different shapes from each other. 4. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein the material of the second protective member has a higher porosity than the material of the first protective member. 5. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the one or more first recesses is different from the number of the one or more second recesses. 6. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more first recesses or the one or more second recesses has a shape not opening toward the vessel main body. 7. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more first recesses or the one or more second recesses has a shape opening toward the vessel main body.
