Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device that stores a low molecular gas, such as hydrogen (H 2 ), under high pressure includes having an inner shell and at least one outer sleeve surrounding the inner shell. The region between the inner shell and the outer sleeve is connected via at least one valve with a backflow prevention capability to the region surrounded by the inner shell. The valve is thereby formed so that low molecular gas which has diffused through the inner shell can flow back into the inner shell when there are suitable pressure conditions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A device for storing low molecular gases under high pressure, the device comprising: an enclosed inner shell; at least one enclosed outer sleeve having an inner side surrounding the inner shell and an outer side exposed to an environment outside of the device; a connection element having a first side exposed to the environment outside of the device and a second side exposed to an inside of the enclosed inner shell, wherein the connection element is…
