Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013083152A1] A pressure vessel is produced for storing and transporting CNG. The vessel comprises a body defining an internal volume in which the CNG can be stored, and an inlet for loading the CNG into the vessel. The body of the vessel comprises a structural shell made entirely of a fibre-reinforced filament-wound composite material, which is provided with fibres to carry mechanical loads and a matrix to keep the fibres together and to make the composite impermeable to the CNG. Because the vessel is not provided with any liner, the CNG is in direct contact with an inner side of the structural shell.
