METHOD OF MANUFACTURING GAS CYLINDER, GAS CYLINDER, AND METHOD OF OCCLUDING AND DISCHARGING GAS

摘要

A method of easily manufacturing a gas cylinder having a formed body of a carbon-based gas occluding material capable of achieving practicable gas occlusion by sufficiently developing the gas occluding characteristics of the carbon-based gas occluding material, having excellent pressure resistance, and allowing safety to be expected, a gas cylinder manufactured by the method of manufacturing the gas cylinder, and a method of occluding and discharging gas capable of stably occluding and discharging gas with high occlusion rate by utilizing the gas cylinder. The method of manufacturing the gas cylinder comprises a preparation step for a cylinder type formed body in which the carbon-based gas occluding material is molded into a cylindrical shape allowing the fitting of a cylinder ferrule thereto, a ferrule mounting step for fitting the cylinder ferrule to the cylinder type formed body, a first coating step for coating the outer surface of the cylinder type formed body with a substantially gas-barrier material, and a second coating step for coating the outer surface coated with the gas-barrier material with a fiber-reinforced plastic.
