HIGH-PRESSURE STORAGE TANKS
High-pressure storage tanks are large pressure vessels that are used to store gases at high pressures. They can be made of a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, and fiber-reinforced plastics, and are designed to be strong yet lightweight. These tanks are typically used to store gases that are in a gaseous state, such as hydrogen.
High-pressure storage tanks are used in a variety of applications, including fuel storage for hydrogen vehicles. They are generally designed and constructed to meet safety regulations and standards to minimize the risk of accidents or releases of the stored gas.
It is important to follow proper safety procedures when handling and storing high-pressure storage tanks. This includes ensuring that the tanks are stored in a safe location away from sources of ignition, and that they are handled and transported carefully to prevent damage. In addition, it is important to regularly inspect and maintain high-pressure storage tanks to ensure that they are in good working condition and to prevent leaks or other problems.
High-pressure storage can store a large amount of hydrogen in a relatively small space. A great opportunity for high-pressure storage is the strategic area absolutely necessary for the further development of hydrogen and the savings resulting from the extent of possible hydrogen storage. During the construction of high-pressure storage facilities, it is necessary to expect high initial investment requirements. Construction is only worthwhile at the point of production or consumption and is conditioned by hydrogen compression and energy loss. Safety aspects cannot be neglected either (Vodíková strategie České republiky, 2021, s. 115).
