Double-Wall Fuel Tank Pressure Management
The interstitial space between walls acts as a buffer zone, distributing pressure evenly when fuel expands due to temperature changes.
• Outer wall contains forces from inner wall
• Reduces stress concentration points
• Maintains structural integrity during expansion/contraction
Calibrated safety valves automatically release excess pressure when thresholds are exceeded, preventing tank rupture.
• Triggers at precise pressure limits
• Protects against fuel expansion pressures
• Prevents over-pressurization from external forces
Constructed from reinforced steel or high-grade polymers that combine strength with flexibility.
• Withstands significant pressure without deformation
• Incorporates expansion joints for stress reduction
• Resists cracking under pressure cycles
Continuous pressure sensors detect abnormalities and trigger protective responses.
• Monitors both internal and interstitial pressures
• Activates alarms for abnormal conditions
• Initiates cooling mechanisms when needed
