Closure modules are coupled to and enclose ends of a multi-cell pressure vessel, especially a multi-cell pressure vessel having arcuate outer wall segments connected by internal web segments that define a plurality of cells in the pressure vessel. The closure modules each have an arcuate surface portion and at least one interfacing surface portion integrally connected at a marginal extent thereof with a marginal extent of the arcuate surface portion. The arcuate surface and interfacing surface portions define a closure module chamber and have peripheral edges. The arcuate surface portion of one of the closure modules abuts contiguously against an interfacing surface portion of an adjacent one of the closure modules. The closure modules are particularly useful for use with multi-cell tanks and vessel bodies, especially tanks and vessels suitable for storing liquid propane.
A set of closure modules for constructing therewith an end closure structure for a multi-cell pressure vessel which comprises a body portion comprising a plurality of arcuate outer wall segments connected by internal web segments so that the arcuate outer wall and internal web segments collectively define cells having opposite ends, said set of closure modules comprising:
A multi-cell pressure vessel comprising:
A multi-cell pressure vessel comprising:
