Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pressure container comprising an inner liner made of polymer material, such as polyolefines or a similar material, and an outer, fibre-reinforced pressure supporting layer .
- Pressure containers for fluids have several uses, such as gas containers in hospitals and fuel containers for motor vehicles, but also in a smaller scale such as propane containers for gas stoves in cottages, camping caravans and small crafts or boats for recreational use. As a rule, such containers have been manufactured from metal for security reasons . These has the disadvantage of being heavy and difficult to handle.
- One solution to this problem can be to manufacture the pressure container of composite material, making the container of lighter weight and more easy to handle. At the same time, taking care of the safety in a good manner is important. In particular, it is important that the container is impact resisting, so that leakages and explosions with possible following injuries to persons can be avoided.
- Collapse of the inner liner layer may also occur due to service conditions, for example when evacuating the container, giving rise to underpressure inside the container, or when cooling, so that the temperature of the fluid becomes to low.
- the industry considers the generally low wetting and adhesive properties of plastic materials as a problem. Som of the reasons for thks is that several plastic materials have chemical inert and non-porous surfaces, having low surface tensions.
- the wetting and adhesive properties of plastic materials may be increased for example by flame treatment or by corona discharge treatment . Flame treatment and corona discharge treatment are characterized in that plasma is generated, i.e., a very reactive gas comprising free electrons, positive ions and other chemical conmponents .
- the physical mechanisms are different, but their impact on the wetting and adhesive properties is similar.
- the free electrons, the positive ions, the meta-stabile components and the radicals together with ultravilet radiation (UV radiation) being generated in the plasma areas, may impact the surface with energies that are sufficient to break the molecule bonds on the surface of the polymer material .
- very reactive free radicals are formed, which themselves may form chemical functional groups, cross-link to chemical functional groups, or rapidly react in the presence of oxygen so that functional groups are formed.
- International patent application No. PCT/SE89/00187 describes a similar method for increasing the surface energy and the hydrophilicity on surfaces of polymer materials .
- Japanese patent No. JP 63215736 og Japanese patent Nr. JP-59093632 (abstract) relates to treatment methods for polymer materials for improvement of the surface properties of the material, but intended for completely different tasks than the present invention.
- WO A 98/30646 describes a process for obtaining improved adhesion between the surfaces of two polymer compositions, and a product having several polymer layers. This object is manufactured according to the described process. Especially, the term product is directed to films and sheets having several polymer layers, and not hollow objects as in the present invention. In claim 1 of the publication, three features of the process are indicated:
- corona discharge treatment is a part of the pretreatment before joining of the inner liner layer and the outer, pressure supporting layer.
- the inner liner layer is not in contact with the outer fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer during the treatment step.
- US 4,096,013 describes briefly explained a method for laminating two or more chemically different sheets using a method for laminating two or more chemically different sheets by alternating current electrical corona discharge in air, and an apparatus for laminating at least two chemically different sheets to form a laminate. Appearing from the specification, an object of the invention is that the joined sheets are free of adhesives or adhesive film layers.
- US 4,415,394 describes an apparatus for adhering two or more layers by corona discharge treatment .
- the material is exposed to corona discharge treatment before products are manufactured, as opposed to the present invention, wherein the inner liner layer is a finished part before being treated so as to increase the wetting and adhesive properties.
- the object of the present invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned above.
- a method for manufacturing a pressure container according to the present invention a light-weight, strong pressure container is possible to manufacture, appearing in one piece, and in addition being easy to handle, and being resistent to underpressure inside the container.
- the present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a pressure container comprising an inner liner layer of polymer material, such as polyolefines or a similar material, and an outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer.
- the method is characterized in that, during rotation of the inner liner layer relative to treat- ment, employment, and/or winding equipment, treatment of the outer side of the inner liner layer so as to increase the wetting and adhesive properties of the polymer material, employment of adhesive onto the outer side of the inner liner layer and/or direct contact between the outer side of the inner liner layer and the inner side of the outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer, for adhesion of the inner liner layer and the outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer, and winding of the outer, fibre- reinforced, pressure supporting layer onto the inner liner layer.
- the treatment of outer side of the inner liner layer comprise flame treatment, but also corona discharge treatment, if desired, in combination with ozone treatment or a corresponding method for improvement of the wetting and adhesive properties of the polymer material may be used.
- Fig. 1 is an isometric view of an untreated, inner liner layer .
- Fig. 2 shows an example of how the liner layer may be treated.
- Fig. 3 shows winding of an outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer.
- the inner liner layer is made of a polymermaterial, such as poly- ethylene (polyethene) and may be manufactured in a per se known manner, for example by blow moulding, extruding, or a similar method.
- Fig. 2 shows an example of such a treatment, by flame treatment of the outer side 3 of the inner layer l.
- (m a /m f ) is the ratio between amount of the air and the amount of fuel as is present and (m a /m f ) st is the ratio between the amount of air and the amount of fuel at stoeichometric combustion.
- the amount of air in relation to the amount of fuel may also be expressed as the equivalence ratio ⁇ :
- (m f /m a ) is the ratio between the amount of fuel and the amount of air as present and (m f /m a ) st is the ratio between the amount of fuel and the amount of air at stoechiometric combustion.
- the main components in a flame treatment apparatus may comprise:
- unit for supplying air/fuel and control of the air/fuel ratio including a cutoff valve for fuel
- corona discharge treatment may be a solution of preference.
- Other alternatives may also be of interest, for example use of cold-gas-plasma treatment or other methods for increasing the wetting and adhesive properties of the polymer material.
- adhesives which harden when exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVradiation) can be used because such a use also involves an alteration of the properties of the polymer material.
- Fig. 3 shows winding of an outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supportin layer 2 onto the inner liner layer 1.
- adhesion between the inner liner layer 1 and the outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer 2 is possible to obtain.
- An epoxy-polymer (not shown) or a similar means may be used as adhesive.
- the adhesive can be employed onto the outer side 3 of the inner liner layer 1 before winding of the outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer 2 onto the outer side 3 of the inner liner layer 1.
- the adhesive can at first be employed onto the inner side 4 of the outer, fibre- reinforced layer 2 before adhesion of the outer side 3 of the inner liner layer l .
- the adhesive may also be employed at the same time as the outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer 2 is wound onto the outer side 3 of the inner liner layer 1. In addition, direct contact between the inner liner layer 1 and the outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer 2 is possible.
- outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer 2 can also be employed in other appropriate ways. Alternatives of interest may, e.g., be hand lay-up, employment of preimpregnated mats or tapes (tape laying) , injection lamination, RTM-method (resin transfer molding) , filament winding or braiding.
- the outer, fibre-reinforced, pressure supporting layer 2 may possibly be made of a translucent material, so as to make it easier to see the level in the pressure container.
