A pressure vessel is configured such that a plurality of liners 1 are juxtaposed with one another. Each liner 1 includes a tubular trunk 4, and end plates 5 for closing opposite end openings of the tubular trunk 4. Two adjacent liners 1 are integrally connected together via a connection member 2 provided therebetween. The interiors of the integrally connected two adjacent liners 1 communicate with one another via a communication path 3 formed in the liners 1 and in the connection member 2. The ends of connection-member-forming projections 16 provided respectively on the two adjacent liners 1 are butt-joined together, thereby forming the connection member 2. The two adjacent liners 1 have respective through-holes 17 extending from the inner surfaces of the two adjacent liners to the ends of the connection-member-forming projections 16, and the through-holes 17 of the two adjacent liners 1 establish communication therebetween, thereby forming the communication path 3. This pressure vessel can be installed without generation of dead space, can implement a large capacity, and can be reduced in material cost and weight. |
