Abstract
Pressurized gas tank comprises a casing provided with an opening communicating with an orifice and connecting the inside of the tank with the outside. Gas flow through the orifice is controlled by a flow control valve. The casing is elastically deformable in response to the gas pressure contained in said tank (1). Deformation of the tank is transmitted to the flow control valve to control the flow of gas therethrough.
Claims26
A tank for storage of gas under pressure comprising:
- an elastically deformable casing having an opening;
- flow control means communicating with said opening for controlling the flow of gas between the interior of said casing and an orifice communicating with the outside of said casing;
- actuating means for controlling said flow control means, said actuating means including an actuating member linked between said casing and said flow control means;
- whereby movement of said actuating member resulting from expansion or contraction of said casing under increasing or decreasing gas pressure is communicated to said flow control means to control in a predetermined manner the flow of gas through said orifice.
