| Abstract;In Japan, the first NGV(Natural Gas Vehicle) conversion was carried out from 1991. After the technical standardization of 'The High Pressure Gas Safety Law/The Container Safety Regulations" in 1997 and 1998 by MITI, the effort for wide spread use of NGV has been tried in gas, automobile and associated industries. However, the total numbers of NGVs are only just over 5,500 as of July 2000. Despite widespread environmental support, an important factor limiting the movement to NGV is the fact that economical cylinders are not available in Japan. To apply lighter-weight and lower cost cylinders for NGV service in Japan, the characteristics of the following 2 types of cylinder designs are being researched and tested at Faber in Italy and at Powertech in Canada: Advanced Type 1 steel cylinder: Maximum tensile strength not greater than 1095N/mm2 according to ANSl/IAS NGV2-1998 Advanced Type 2 steel FRP wrapped: Maximum tensile strength is same as Type 1 steel cylinder. The KIH value of the Faber cylinder steel(tensile strength of 1095N/mm2) in a 200bar hydrogen environment tested at Powertech exceeds 145kgf/mm3/2. (author abst.) |
