Technological complex for the manufacture of combined metal-plastic tanks for accumulation, hydrogen storage and use

---

The main stages of manufacturing combined metal-plastic containers for the accumulation, storage and use of hydrogen: a) the design of the metal-plastic capacity: 1 - thin-walled sealed enclosure 2 - composite power shell; b) the technological scheme of manufacturing metal-plastic containers for the accumulation, storage and use of hydrogen; c) the stages of forming the composite power shell: 1 - winding and leveling the cylindrical part of the body; 2 - formation of the power shell.

Area of application

Brief description

The project aims to create a modern automated complex for the manufacture of light metal composite high-pressure cylinders for the accumulation, storage and use of hydrogen in the energy, automotive, petrochemical industries. It provides for the development of technical solutions for automating the process of manufacturing these cylinders and forming various types of power shells from high-strength fibrous materials on a thin-walled light body. Automation of these processes will improve the quality and performance of high-pressure cylinders.

Expected results

In the process of project implementation, the following will be developed: principles for constructing automated technological complexes with programmed control for manufacturing high-pressure cylinders, methods for improving their quality and reliability. A light thin-walled cylinder body ensures proper tightness during hydrogen storage, and the outer shell provides resistance against destruction by internal pressure. The high-strength fibrous material of the power shell with a low specific gravity will help reduce the overall weight of the combined tank and increase its reliability and efficiency.

Advantages

Foreign equipment for the manufacture of high-pressure cylinders with power composite shells is worth at least 500 thousand US dollars. According to preliminary estimates, the domestic complex will be 2-3 times cheaper and will provide a low mass and dimensional indicator (m / V) of combined cylinders.

Competitor

Production of equipment for the manufacture of high-pressure combined cylinders:

The capacity of tanks for accumulation, storage and use of hydrogen:

Project development

The design of lightweight metal-plastic cylinders for the accumulation, storage, transportation and use of hydrogen, with a welded metal body reinforced composite material. However, Ukraine does not produce equipment for the production of lightweight combined cylinders, and foreign equipment is too expensive, which in itself hampers the development of hydrogen energy and especially this manifest оn transport.
