专利汇可以提供Reservoir for pressurized fluids专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A plurality of straight tubes in side by side relationship are surrounded by a single long tube of substantially lesser diameter helically wound about the straight tubes to define a reservoir for pressurized natural gas. The helically wound single long tube serves both as a protective covering and strengthening structure for the straight tubes. The straight tubes and helically wound tube may be interconnected by suitable manifolding and a fill opening provided for storing pressurized fluid. The tubular configuration is that of a fairly flat parallele-piped corresponding in size to a conventional standard automobile gasoline tank and thus well suited to replace the conventional gasoline tank to drive vehicles by natural gas.,下面是Reservoir for pressurized fluids专利的具体信息内容。

1. A reservoir for pressurized fluids comprising, in combination: at least two straight tubes each of outside diameter D in side by side relationship; a single long tube of outside diameter d, less than D, wound around the straight tubes transverse to the axes thereof in a helical manner to cover substantially the entire length of the straight tubes; and means for providing communication between the interiors of the straight tubes and the single long tube, with the exterior so that pressurized fluid may be passed into and removed from the tubes.
2. A reservoir according to claim 1, in which D is substantially 6d and the length L of the straight tubes is substantially 10D.
3. A reservoir according to claim 2, in which there are provided five straight tubes in side by side relationship with their axes lying in a single flat plane.
4. A reservoir for pressurized fluids comprising, in combination: a. a plurality of identical elongated straight tubes of given length L and outside diameter D arranged in side by side parallel relationship with their axes lying in a single flat plane; b. a single long tube having an outside diameter d substantially less than said given outside diameter D wound around the plurality of straight tubes transverse to the axes of the straight tubes in a helical manner to cover the entire length of the straight tubes and define a tubular configuration having an overall shape corresponding generally to that of a parallelepiped of predetermined length L, height H, and width W dimensions, the length dimension L corresponding substantially to that of the given length L of the straight tubes, the height dimension H corresponding to the sum of the given outside diameter D of a straight tube and twice the outside diameter d of the single long tube, and the width dimension W corresponding to the given outside diameter D of a straight tube times the number of straight tubes plus twice the outside diameter d of the single long tube; and c. means for providing communication between the interiors of the straight tubes and the single long tube, with the exterior so that a fluid under pressure may be passed into the tubes for storage and taken from the tubes for use, the single long tube serving as a protective covering and strengthening means for the straight tubes.
5. A reservoir according to claim 4, in which said tubular configuration is surrounded by a plastic casing, the length, height, and width dimensions corresponding substantially to that of a standard automobile gasoline tank.
6. A reservoir according to claim 4, in which said length L, height H, and width W dimensions fall within the following relative relationships: 20H> L> 3H 20H> W> 2H and in which the outside diameter D of a straight tube and the outside diameter d of the single long tube fall within the following relative relationship: 10d> D> 3d.
7. A reservoir according to claim 4, in which said means for providing communication includes header pipe means interconnecting the straight tubes together, one end of the single long being closed; and means interconnecting its other end for communication with the exterior.
8. A reservoir according to claim 7, in which said means interconnecting the other end of the long tube places it in communication with the straight tubes so that a single type of pressurized fluid may be stored in both the straight tubes and the single long tube.
9. A reservoir according to claim 7, in which said means interconnecting the other end of the long tube places it in direct communication with the exterior to define a separate filling and emptying means for the long tube so that a different type of pressurized fluid may be stored in the single long tube from that stored in the straight tubes.
10. A reservoir according to claim 7, in which said means for providing communication includes a first separate inlet and outlet valve means communicating with said straight tubes and in which said means interconnecting the other end of said single long tube includes a second separate inlet and outlet valve means to the exterior; and a third valve means interconnected with the first and second valve means for placing both the straight tubes and single long tube simultaneously in communication with the exterior whereby a user can elect to withdraw pressurized fluid from the straight tubes only, from the single long tube only, or from both the straight tubes and single long tube simultaneously.
11. A reservoir according to claim 4, including safety valve means opening in reponse to fluid pressure exceeding a given pressure connected to at least one of the straight tubes so that pressure in the straight tubes is relieved if the fluid pressure stored therein exceeds saiD given pressure.
12. A reservoir according to claim 4, including bracket mounting means connected to the ends of the straight tubes serving to hold the straight tubes in their side by side parallel relationship and also enabling mounting of the tubular configuration in a vehicle.
13. A reservoir according to claim 4, in which said length L, height H, and width W dimensions have the following relationship to the outside dimater D of the straight tubes and the outside diameter d of the single long tube: L 10D H D + 2d W 5D + 2d and in which D 6d.
14. A reservoir according to claim 4, in which if T is the thickness of the wall of the straight tube and t the thickness of the wall of the single long tube, then 100> D/T> 20 and 50> d/t > 10
15. A reservoir according to claim 11, in which the pressurized fluid is natural gas at a pressure of 2,500 p.s.i., said given pressure being greater than 5,000 p.s.i.
