METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION FOR HIGH CYCLE FATIGUE RESISTANT PRESSURE VESSELS IN HYDROGEN SERVICE

摘要

A method and system are described for a gas booster, preferably for use with hydrogen. A linear actuator can provide compression in first and second compression vessels. The liner of the compression vessels can be placed in compressive stress so that any cracks that form do not spread. Compressive stress can be applied using, at least, a shrink fit process or a wire wrapping process. The compressive stress will help the inner liner to resist fatigue and cracking due to pressure cycling and corrosion by materials being compressed in the compression vessels. This also protects the chamber jacket from wear and tear.
