Abstract

A hydrogen tank body includes a base layer formed of a synthetic resin selected from the group consisting of silicon resin, polyphenylene sulfide, polybutylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene, and polycarbonate, and a liner layer formed of hydrogen impermeable resin, on an inside wall surface of the base layer.

Claims (11)

1. A method of producing a hydrogen tank body, the method comprising:

forming a base layer of the hydrogen tank body, using a synthetic resin selected from the group consisting of silicon resin, polyphenylene sulfide, and polyvinyl chloride; and

forming a liner layer along an inside wall surface of the base layer, by subjecting a hydrogen impermeable resin to blow molding, using the base layer as a mold form for the blow molding.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base layer is formed by subjecting the synthetic resin to injection molding.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrogen impermeable resin is polyamide 6.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the synthetic resin is the silicon resin.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the silicon resin is dimethylpolysiloxane.

6. A method of producing a hydrogen tank, the method comprising:

forming a hydrogen tank body by the method according to claim 4 ; and

forming a pressure resistant layer by directly winding carbon fiber reinforced resin around the hydrogen tank body.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the silicon resin is dimethylpolysiloxane.
