Pressure vessel
A pressure vessel comprises a pressure vessel body having a rectangular cross-sectional shape and formed to extend in the direction of flow of fluids, and the pressure vessel body includes a first flow channel which is formed in the longitudinal direction of the pressure vessel body and through which a first fluid is caused to flow, a second flow channel which is formed in the longitudinal direction of the pressure vessel body and through which a second fluid is caused to flow, a first-fluid inlet-outlet port which is provided in one longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body and connects with the first flow channel and through which the first fluid is caused to flow in or out, a second-fluid inlet-outlet port which is provided in the other longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body and connects with the second flow channel and through which the second fluid is caused to flow in or out, an opening portion which is provided in the one longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body and connects with the second flow channel, and a closing member which closes the opening portion in a demountable manner.
1. A pressure vessel comprising
a pressure vessel body having a rectangular cross-sectional shape and formed to extend in a longitudinal direction,
wherein the pressure vessel body includes
a first flow channel which is formed in the longitudinal direction of the pressure vessel body and through which a first fluid is capable of flowing,
a second flow channel which is formed in the longitudinal direction of the pressure vessel body and through which a second fluid is capable of flowing,
a first-fluid inlet-outlet port which is provided in one longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body and connects with the first flow channel and through which the first fluid is capable of flowing in or out,
a second-fluid inlet-outlet port which is provided in another longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body and connects with the second flow channel and through which the second fluid is capable of flowing in or out,
an opening portion which is formed by opening a portion of one end surface which is the same as the one longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body provided with the first-fluid inlet-outlet port and connects with the second flow channel,
a closing member which is inserted and fitted into the opening portion and made of stainless steel, a Ni alloy, or a ceramic to close the opening portion in a demountable manner,
a first lid member which is provided at the one longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body provided with the first-fluid inlet-outlet port and the opening portion, and has an opening and closing structure, and
a second lid member which is provided at the another longitudinal end surface of the pressure vessel body provided with the second-fluid inlet-outlet port, and has no opening and closing structure.
2. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein
the opening portion includes a positioning member which positions the closing member and is made of stainless steel, a Ni alloy, or a ceramic, and
the positioning member is formed as a protrusion on the opening portion and formed integrally with the pressure vessel body.
3. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein the closing member is fixedly mounted in a demountable manner.
4. The pressure vessel according to claim 2 , wherein the closing member is fixedly mounted in a demountable manner.
5. The pressure vessel according to claim 3 , wherein
the closing member is fixedly mounted in a demountable manner with an inorganic adhesive, and
a gap between the closing member and the opening portion is sealed with the inorganic adhesive.
6. The pressure vessel according to claim 4 , wherein
the closing member is fixedly mounted in a demountable manner with an inorganic adhesive, and
a gap between the closing member and the opening portion is sealed with the inorganic adhesive.
7. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein the closing member is made of a same material as the pressure vessel body.
8. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein the closing member is made of a material that exhibits greater thermal expansion than a material of the pressure vessel body.
9. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein an in-channel component is provided in the second flow channel.
10. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein
an in-channel component is provided in the second flow channel, and
the second flow channel is formed such that the in-channel component is insertable from the second-fluid inlet-outlet port to the opening portion.
11. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressure vessel body is made of stainless steel or a Ni alloy, and
the closing member is made of stainless steel or a Ni alloy.
12. The pressure vessel according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressure vessel body is made of stainless steel or a Ni alloy, and
the closing member is made of a ceramic.
