Abstract
The invention relates to a pressure vessel (1) with an interior chamber (30), in particular for storing hydrogen, comprising a vessel wall (12) which has or consists of a composite material unit (14, 22, 26) with reinforcing fibers (16) and a thermoplastic plastic matrix (18), wherein the composite material unit (14, 22, 26) is arranged and configured such that the reinforcing fibers (16) can be removed as continuous fibers, in particular non-destructively, so that the composite material unit can be reused.
Claims20
Pressure vessel with an interior chamber for storing hydrogen, comprising
- a vessel wall comprising a composite material unit with reinforcing fibers and a thermoplastic polymer matrix,
- wherein the composite material unit is arranged and configured such that the reinforcing fibers can be removed as continuous fibers, and non-destructively, so that the composite material unit can be reused.
Method for producing a pressure vessel having an interior chamber for storing hydrogen, comprising the step of:
- Producing a vessel wall with a composite material unit with reinforcing fibers and a thermoplastic polymer matrix,
- wherein the composite material unit is arranged and configured such that the reinforcing fibers are removable as continuous fibers, non-destructively.
Computer-implemented method for a digital image of a pressure vessel, comprising the steps of:
- Receiving data characterizing a pressure vessel geometry, an arrangement end position, an arrangement direction, manufacturing parameters and/or machine parameters detected during production of the pressure vessel, and
- generating the digital image based on the data characterizing the pressure vessel geometry, the arrangement end position, the arrangement direction, the manufacturing parameters and/or machine parameters detected when producing the pressure vessel.
