The SP Pressure Vessel examines the fabrication of lightweight compressed gas (CGH2) vessels at 700 bar, which shall meet specifications given by car manufacturers in terms of operating conditions (-40 to +85°C) and energy density or fractional mass of H2 in the tank (6%).
These vessels of type III or IV consist of a metal or polymer liner with appropiate bosses and valve connections, in a fiber reinforced composite structure. The vessel should also be compatible with fast filling processes in an H2 fueling station (7kg of H2 in 4 min), and should integrate sensors for safety and on-board monitoring.
Eventually the composite material should be recyclable to meet the End-of Life Vehicle Directive 2000/53EC. The vessels should also comply with ISO TC197 norms and safety requirements of EIHPII.
