The invention relates to pressure gas container apparatus broadly of the type described in our Patent Application No.82 18303 (Serial No. 2103348) in which radially directed partition sheets are provided at intervals around a central gas pipe. The block (1) of storage material disclosed herein when installed, defines a cavity (3) adjacent the gas pipe (5), into which the blocks swells as the container apparatus is filled. This results in the block having a density differential between its radially inner and outer extremities which results in various benefits. In addition to reducing the risk of distortion or other damage to the apparatus as it is filled, gas flow to and from the gas pipe (5) is enhanced as is the heat transfer between the container wall and the block (1). The size of the cavity (3) preferably corresponds to at least to 5% of the net volume of the compartment of the storage container in which it is located. <IMAGE> |
