減少超過20%,材料利用率
昆騰燃料系統技術的全球公司,天然氣,替代燃料系統和清潔推進車輛技術提供商,已收到通知,準備從一個新的專利在美國專利和商標局的輕質復合殼天然氣和氫氣存儲坦克。
昆騰最新的專利涵蓋了突破性的應用程序的離散的局部加固,使加壓圓柱形儲罐的復合殼體的重量和成本的顯著降低。昆騰近日宣布示范這項技術的飛躍,為輕量級的碳纖維復合材料壓縮天然氣,氫燃料罐,利用選擇性纖維鋪放,實現顯著降低重量和成本 - 證明材料利用率減少20%以上。
“這是一個重大的專利,它提供了一個優雅的解決方案,以減少油箱的重量和成本,從而使更多的天然氣和氫氣燃料電池汽車大規模商業化,”布賴恩·奧爾森說,總裁兼首席執行官量子。“我們是在完善這一技術的過程中逐步引入商業產品。”
目前,量子生產之一最輕和最高的容量天然氣和氫氣板上存儲系統在世界上。昆騰公司昆騰公司的技術在加州森林湖,校園,開發先進的天然氣存儲系統的提供戲劇性的減輕重量,增加燃料的存儲容量,以及迅速整合這些系統的能力。
More than 20% reduction in material utilization
Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., a natural gas, alternative fuel systems and clean propulsion vehicle technologies provider, has received the notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a new patent on lightweight composite shells of natural gas and hydrogen storage tanks.
Quantum’s new patent covers the breakthrough application of discrete localized reinforcement that enables significant reduction in weight and cost of composite shells of pressurized cylindrical storage tanks. Quantum recently announced the demonstration of this technology leap for lightweight carbon composite compressed natural gas and hydrogen fuel tanks, utilizing selective fiber placement, to achieve significant reduction in weight and cost – demonstrating more than 20% reduction in material utilization.
“This is a significant patent in that it provides an elegant solution to reduce both weight and cost of fuel tanks, thus enabling more widespread commercialization of natural gas and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles,” said Brian Olson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quantum. “We are in the process of refining this technology for phased introduction into commercial products.”
Quantum currently produces one of the lightest and highest capacity natural gas and hydrogen on-board storage systems in the world. Developed at Quantum’s technology campus in Lake Forest, California, Quantum’s advanced natural gas storage systems provide dramatic weight reduction, increased fuel storage capacity, and the capability to quickly integrate these systems.
