High pressure gaseous hydrogen energy is the most mature technology of hydrogen utilizing. High pressure gaseous hydrogen storage involves with high pressure vessel. In this paper, the research of high pressure gaseous hydrogen storage vessel is reviewed, and the research progress of multi-layer vessel used as high pressure hydrogen storage vessel is especially introduced. An integrated multi-layer-wrapped cylinder which may be used as high pressure gaseous hydrogen storage equipment is analyzed. The cylinder consists of lining, internal cylinder and multi-layer laminates. Lining and internal cylinder are made of anti-hydrogen steel, while the laminates are wrapped outside the internal cylinder to the required thickness with integrated wrapping method. The circumferential and longitudinal welding seams can be staggered in each laminate. The hydrogen leaking detection device is located in each cylinder section. This cylinder is provided with bearing pressure, resistance to hydrogen, anti-burst, online safety monitoring and other characteristics, which offers a possible structure for the construction of high pressure hydrogen storage vessel.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the sealing characteristic of the rubber X-ring combined seal used in high-pressure hydrogen service and clarify the effect of swelling due to dissolved hydrogen on the sealing behavior. Design/methodology/approach A finite element analysis method with a user subroutine is proposed to investigate the sealing characteristic of rubber X-ring seals in conjunction with the swelling effect. Findings The swelling has a noticeable impact on the sealing behavior. The higher peak contact stress suggests that the X-ring seal may be superior to the O-ring seal, while the calculated increase in Mises stress suggests the X-ring exhibits a higher propensity to mechanical damage under low pressure conditions. Originality/value This paper describes a method with a user subroutine developed within ABAQUS to simulate the sealing performance coupled hydrogen swelling. The suitability of X-ring seals is evaluated. This work provides insight into the swelling effect on sealing behavior of an X-ring, which is of great value for the design and application of rubber seals used in hydrogen service.

Sealing Materials

Based on the performance of Vane hydraulic damp O-ring seal ,simulation about the O-ring seal was applied by nonlinear finite element analysis method. The factors influencing sealing performance are considered, such as initial compressibility, sealing materials. Applying the method, the seal structure was designed and optimized. At the same time, the sealing performance was improved, and the contract pressure was increased. The finite element analysis method can be effectively used to solve nonlinear material and sealing failure problem for the seal design, optimization and performance analysis, which provide a new approach and theoretical guidance to the rubber seal research. The seal material and compression ratio are both great influence on the sealing performance , which should be based on working conditions to select the appropriate sealing materials.
