As a highlight of the JEC, the Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) of RWTH Aachen University will be presenting hydrogen pressure tanks manufactured using multifilament winding processes at the NRW joint booth in Hall 5, Stand G65.
TowPreg-based winding allows fibres to be laid down in a very targeted manner and reduces quality fluctuations. According to initial estimates, this saves at least around 10 per cent of carbon fibres compared to wet winding. This is an important consideration, as carbon fibres are among the most expensive components of a pressure vessel.
In addition, cleaning costs in production are reduced, less waste is produced and manufacturing takes place with virtually no solvent vapours.
The hydrogen tanks can be used in buses, lorries, ships and portable gas transport systems – anywhere where lightweight, safe high-pressure storage is crucial.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
