Abstract
Systems and methods for storing fluid are described. In some embodiments, a system may include a container having an internal volume that is configured to change as fluid enters or exits, a first shell component, and a second shell component. The first shell component may limit an expansion of the container in a first direction, and the second shell component may limit the expansion of the container in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.
Claims20
A system for storing fluid, the system comprising:
- a container, the container having an internal volume that is configured to change as fluid enters or exits the container;
- a first shell component;
- a second shell component, the internal volume of the container being disposed between the first shell component and the second shell component such that the first shell component limits an expansion of the container in a first direction, and the second shell component limits the expansion of the container in a second direction that is opposite the first direction;
- wherein a space is defined between the second shell component and a first surface portion of the container, the space having a volume that decreases as fluid enters the container and the internal volume of the container increases.

A method for storing fluid, the method comprising:
- filling with fluid a container having an internal volume that changes as fluid enters the container;
- wherein the container is disposed between a first shell component and a second shell component, the internal volume of the container being disposed between the first shell component such that the first shell component limits an expansion of the container in a first direction, and the second shell component limits the expansion of the container in a direction that is opposite the first direction;
- and
- wherein a space is defined between the second shell component and a first surface portion of the container, the space having a volume that decreases as the fluid enters the container and the internal volume of the container increases.
