Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine transportierbare Vorrichtung für die Aufnahme von gegenüber der Umwelt abzuschirmenden Substanzen mit einem mit einer dicht verschliessbaren Öffnung versehenen, im wesentlichen zylindrisch ausgebildeten Druckbehälter, der innerhalb eines Containers angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a transportable device for receiving substances to be shielded from the environment with an essentially cylindrical pressure container, which is provided with a tightly closable opening and is arranged within a container.

Es ist in vielen Fällen üblich, umweltgefährdende Substanzen zumindest während der Zeit einer Zwischenlagerung in Lagerbehältern unterzubringen, die gegenüber der Aussenatmosphäre dicht abgeschlossen sind. Als typisches Beispiel einer solchen Substanz sei Uranhexafluorid (UF6) genannt, das insbesondere in abgereichertem Zustand, also nach Verringerung des U 235-Gehaltes, bis zur endgültigen Beseitigung oder Deponierung in Behältern zwischengelagert wird. Da Beschädigungen solcher Transport- und/oder Zwischenlagerbehälter nicht immer auszuschliessen sind, hat sich die Notwendigkeit ergeben, Vorkehrungen zu treffen, die es erlauben, in Fällen, in denen die eingangs erwähnten Substanzen gegenüber der umgebenden Atmosphäre nicht ausreichend abgeschirmt sind, z. B. durch Beschädigung eines derartigen Behälters oder auch durch andere Umstände, in kürzerer Zeit Massnahmen zu treffen, die geeignet sind, den Soll-Zustand, also die Aufbewahrung oder Lagerung derartiger Substanzen im gegenüber der Umwelt abgeschirmten Zustand, wieder herzustellen. Dabei kann es zweckmässig sein, insbesondere auch unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Notwendigkeit, möglichstschnell zu handeln, zunächst eine vorläufige Abschirmung der Substanz herbeizuführen, worauf dann ohne Zeitdruck die Massnahmen getroffen werden können, die wieder zu einer dauerhaften Unterbringung und Abschirmung der Substanz, beispielsweise in einem Zwischenlager, führen.It is common in many cases to store environmentally hazardous substances, at least during the period of intermediate storage, in storage containers that are sealed off from the outside atmosphere. A typical example of such a substance is uranium hexafluoride (UF 6 ), which is stored in containers, particularly in the depleted state, i.e. after the U 235 content has been reduced, until it is finally disposed of or deposited. Since damage to such transport and / or intermediate storage containers can not always be ruled out, there has been a need to take precautions that allow, in cases where the substances mentioned above are not adequately shielded from the surrounding atmosphere, for. B. by damage to such a container or by other circumstances, to take measures in a shorter time that are suitable to restore the target state, that is, the storage or storage of such substances in a state shielded from the environment. It may be appropriate, first of all from the point of view of the need to act as quickly as possible, to first provide a preliminary shielding of the substance, whereupon the measures can then be taken without time pressure, which again result in permanent accommodation and shielding of the substance, for example in one Interim storage facility.

Eine durch die DE-A 2359114 bekannte Vorrichtung der einleitend beschriebenen Art ist für die Aufnahme von besonderen Behältern, in denen sich die gegenüber der Umwelt abzuschirmende Substanz befindet, nicht geeignet. So wäre es beispielsweise nicht möglich, den besonderen Behälter schnell und sicher überall dort, wo erforderlich, in die bekannte Transportvorrichtung einzubringen, da deren Innenbehälter parallel zur Längsachse hälftig unterteilt und somit ein Einbringen nur von oben möglich ist. Dazu wäre es erforderlich, zunächst die obere Wandung des Aussenbehälters oder Containers ganz zu entfernen und dann die obere Hälfte des Innenbehälters aus dem Container herauszuheben. All dies ist mit grossen Umständen verbunden. Hinzu kommt, dass die Notwendigkeit, die obere Hälfte des Innenbehälters und den darin unterzubringenden besonderen Behälter auf die grösste Höhe der Vorrichtung und eines ggf. darunter befindlichen Fahrzeuges zu bringen, entsprechend schwere Ladegeschirre erfordert, die nicht überall verfügbar sind.A device of the type described in the introduction, known from DE-A 2359114, is not suitable for holding special containers in which the substance to be shielded from the environment is located. For example, it would not be possible to quickly and safely insert the special container into the known transport device wherever necessary, since its inner container is divided in half parallel to the longitudinal axis and it is therefore only possible to insert it from above. To do this, it would be necessary to first completely remove the upper wall of the outer container or container and then to lift the upper half of the inner container out of the container. All of this is associated with great circumstances. In addition, the need to bring the upper half of the inner container and the special container to be accommodated therein to the greatest height of the device and, if applicable, a vehicle located underneath, requires correspondingly heavy loading gear which is not available everywhere.

Demzufolge liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine transportierbare Vorrichtung der einleitend beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, in die umweltschädigende Substanzen, die sich in einem Behälter befinden, schnell und sicher eingebracht und gegenüber der Umwelt abgeschlossen werden können. Diese Vorrichtung soll so dimensioniert sein, dass einerseits die grössten üblichen Lager- und/oder Transportbehälter in ihr untergebracht werden können, andererseits jedoch die Transportierbarkeit dieser Vorrichtung unter Anwendung üblicher, d.h. ohne weiteres zur Verfügung stehender Mittel, gewährleistet ist. Ferner soll die Möglichkeit bestehen, die Vorrichtung so auszubilden, dass die darin, z.B. innerhalb eines defekten Lagerbehälters, befindliche Substanz in einen zweiten, intakten Behälter umgefüllt werden kann, ohne dass die Notwendigkeit besteht, Bedienungspersonen in direkten Kontakt mit der Substanz zu bringen und/oder die Gefahr einer Kontaminierung der Umgebung der Vorrichtung besteht.Accordingly, the object of the invention is to create a transportable device of the type described in the introduction into which environmentally harmful substances which are in a container can be introduced quickly and safely and sealed off from the environment. This device should be dimensioned such that on the one hand the largest usual storage and / or transport containers can be accommodated in it, but on the other hand the portability of this device using conventional, i.e. readily available funds is guaranteed. Furthermore, there should be the possibility to design the device so that the e.g. substance within a defective storage container can be transferred to a second, intact container without the need to bring operators into direct contact with the substance and / or the risk of contamination of the surroundings of the device.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung vor, dass zur Aufnahme eines die Substanzen enthaltenden besonderen Behälters innerhalb des Druckbehälters ein von dessen einer seiner Stirnseiten angebrachten Öffnung in Richtung auf das dieser Öffnung abgekehrte Ende verlaufendes Führungsmittel angeordnet ist, auf welchem ein für die Aufnahme des Behälters geeigneter Schlitten bewegbar ist und der Container mit einer den Zugang zur Öffnung des Druckbehälters ermöglichenden stirnseitigen Öffnung versehen ist. Dabei ist die Anordnung zweckmässig so getroffen, dass der Druckbehälter fest am Container angebracht ist. Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, die den Zugang zur Öffnung des Druckbehälters ermöglichende stirnseitige Öffnung des Containers ebenfalls mittels einer Tür verschliessbar auszuführen.To achieve this object, the invention proposes that to hold a special container containing the substances within the pressure container, a guide means is arranged from the opening of one of its end faces, in the direction of the end facing away from this opening, on which a guide means for receiving the container Suitable slide is movable and the container is provided with an opening on the front side which enables access to the opening of the pressure container. The arrangement is expediently such that the pressure vessel is firmly attached to the container. Furthermore, it is advantageous to make the front opening of the container, which enables access to the opening of the pressure container, also lockable by means of a door.

Die Vorrichtung gemäss der Erfindung kann ohne weiteres die Funktion eines Bergungsbehälters erfüllen, der beispielsweise im Bedarfsfall an einen Ort gebracht werden kann, an dem sich ein Zwischenlager befindet, wenn dort ein Lagerbehälter, der eine umweltschädliche Substanz enthält, beschädigt oder aus anderen Gründen undicht geworden ist. Entsprechendes gilt auch für jeden anderen möglichen Einsatzort, beispielsweise im Falle der Beschädigung eines Lagerbehälters auf einem Transport zum Ort des Zwischenlagers. Der beschädigte Lagerbehälter - oder selbstverständlich auch jeder andere in Frage kommende Behälter - wird in das Druckgefäss der Vorrichtung eingebracht, worauf dieses druckdicht verschlossen und der Container beispielsweise von einem LKW aufgenommen wird, um ggf. an einen Ort gebracht zu werden, an welchem das Umfüllen aus dem beschädigten Behälter in einen anderen Behälter erfolgt. Der äussere Container ist vorteilhaft so ausgestaltet, dass er den üblichen Containergrössen und -formen angepasst, also unter Verwendung üblicher Einrichtungen handhabbar ist. Er kann zugleich eine Schutzfunktion für den Druckbehälter haben. Der Container dient im wesentlichen dazu, die Vorrichtung leicht handhabbar, insbesondere transportierbar zu machen. Der Druckbehälter dient der Abschirmung der schädlichen Substanzen gegenüber der Umwelt. Die Trennung dieser Funktionen erlaubt es, Container einerseits und Druckbehälter andererseits jeweils in optimaler Weise an die ihnen zugedachten Funktionen anzupassen.The device according to the invention can easily perform the function of a salvage container, which, for example, can, if necessary, be brought to a location where an interim storage facility is located if a storage container containing an environmentally harmful substance is damaged or has become leaky for other reasons is. The same applies to any other possible place of use, for example in the event of damage to a storage container during transport to the location of the interim storage facility. The damaged storage container - or of course any other container in question - is placed in the pressure vessel of the device, whereupon it is closed in a pressure-tight manner and the container is taken up by a truck, for example, in order to be brought to a place where the transfer is possibly from the damaged container to another container. The outer container is advantageously designed such that it is adapted to the usual container sizes and shapes, that is to say can be handled using conventional facilities. It can also have a protective function for the pressure vessel. The container essentially serves to make the device light manageable, especially to make it transportable. The pressure vessel serves to shield the harmful substances from the environment. The separation of these functions allows containers on the one hand and pressure vessels on the other to be optimally adapted to the functions intended for them.

Zur Erleichterung der Handhabung des in den Druckbehälter einzubringenden besonderen Behälters kann gemäss einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung die Anordnung so getroffen sein, dass der Container mit einem schwenkbar angebrachten Gestell versehen ist, welches Führungsmittel für den Schlitten aufweist, und die Führungsmittel in der Arbeitslage des Gestells sich in Verlängerung der im Druckbehälter befindliche Führungsmittel vor dem Druckbehälter und dem Container befinden. Das Gestell kann innerhalb des Containers nahe dessen Boden angelenkt und in seiner Ruhestellung in einer Lage zwischen Containertür und Tür des Druckbehälters schwenkbar sein. Zweckmässig weist das Gestell zwei in seiner Arbeitslage parallel zur Längsrichtung des Containers verlaufende Träger auf, die oberseitig Führungsmittel tragen. Am Gestell können Antriebsmittel angebracht sein, die zur Bewegung des Schlittens entlang den Führungsmitteln dienen.In order to facilitate the handling of the special container to be introduced into the pressure container, the arrangement can be made according to a further proposal of the invention in such a way that the container is provided with a pivotably mounted frame, which has guide means for the slide, and the guide means in the working position of the frame are in an extension of the guide means in the pressure vessel in front of the pressure vessel and the container. The frame can be articulated within the container near its bottom and in its rest position can be pivoted in a position between the container door and the door of the pressure container. The frame expediently has two carriers in its working position, which run parallel to the longitudinal direction of the container and carry guide means on the upper side. Drive means can be attached to the frame which serve to move the slide along the guide means.

Um ein möglichst reibungsloses Transportieren der Vorrichtung zu ermöglichen, ist es vorteilhaft, Schlitten mit ggf. darauf befindlichem Behälter in einer bestimmten Position innerhalb des Druckbehälters zu verriegeln. Dies kann in der Weise geschehen, dass innerhalb des Druckbehälters eine Feststelleinrichtung anbringbar ist, mit welcher der Schlitten und ein ggf. darauf befindlicher Behälter in einer bestimmten Position verriegelbar sind. Dazu kann die Tür des Druckbehälters innenseitig mit Fortsätzen versehen sein, die in der Schliessposition der Tür den im Druckbehälter befindlichen Schlitten und/oder den darauf befindlichen Behälter hintergreifen und in einer bestimmten Position festlegen.In order to enable the device to be transported as smoothly as possible, it is advantageous to lock the slide with a container, if any, on it in a certain position within the pressure container. This can be done in such a way that a locking device can be attached within the pressure container, with which the carriage and a container, if any, located thereon can be locked in a specific position. For this purpose, the inside of the pressure vessel door can be provided with extensions which, in the closed position of the door, engage behind the carriage located in the pressure vessel and / or the container located thereon and fix it in a certain position.

Gemäss einem weiteren Vorschlag der Erfindung kann die Wand des Druckbehälters mit wenigstens einer Durchbrechung versehen sein, an welcher eine druckdicht mit der Wand verbundene und mit wenigstens einem Absperrorgan versehene Rohrleitung für die Herausführung von fluiden Medien aus dem Druckbehälter oder einem darin befindlichen Behälter angeschlossen ist. Zweckmässig ist die Anordnung so getroffen, dass die Leitung sich in den Druckbehälter erstreckt und mit wenigstens einer Einrichtung zum Anbringen einer Verbindungsleitung versehen ist. Darüber hinaus kann die Wand des Druckbehälters mit einer zweiten Durchbrechung versehen sein, an welcher eine zweite absperrbare Leitung für die Einführung eines gasförmigen Mediums druckdicht angeschlossen ist.According to a further proposal of the invention, the wall of the pressure vessel can be provided with at least one opening, to which a pipeline connected pressure-tightly to the wall and provided with at least one shut-off device for the discharge of fluid media from the pressure vessel or a container located therein is connected. The arrangement is expediently such that the line extends into the pressure vessel and is provided with at least one device for attaching a connecting line. In addition, the wall of the pressure vessel can be provided with a second opening, to which a second shut-off line for the introduction of a gaseous medium is connected in a pressure-tight manner.

Darüber hinaus ist zweckmässig die Möglichkeit vorgesehen, dass der Druckbehälter beheizbar und/oder kühlbar ist. Die Heiz- und/oder Kühleinrichtung kann aussenseitig am Druckbehälter innerhalb des Containers angeordnet sein.In addition, the possibility is expediently provided that the pressure vessel can be heated and / or cooled. The heating and / or cooling device can be arranged on the outside of the pressure vessel within the container.

Die Bedienungseinrichtungen der Vorrichtung können an der der Tür des Containers abgekehrten Seite desselben angeordnet sein, wobei es vorteilhaft ist, den den Druckbehälter aufnehmenden Bereich des Containers gegenüber dem die Bedienungseinrichtungen aufnehmenden Bereich durch eine Zwischenwand abzutrennen.The operating devices of the device can be arranged on the side thereof facing away from the door of the container, it being advantageous to separate the area of the container receiving the pressure container from the area receiving the operating devices by an intermediate wall.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel weist einen äusseren, im Querschnitt im wesentlichen quadratischen Container 11 sowie einen darin fest angebrachten, im wesentlichen zylindrischen Druckbehälter 12 auf. Letzterer ist an einer seiner Stirnseiten mit einer Öffnung 14 versehen (Fig. 1), deren Querschnitt im wesentlichen dem freien Querschnitt innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 gleich ist. Diese Öffnung 14 ist mittels einer Tür 16 druckfest verschliessbar, die über zwei Scharniere 18 und zwei Arme 19 derart am Druckbehälter 12 angebracht ist, dass sie aus ihrer in den Figuren 2, 3, 4, 5 dargestellten Schliessstellung seitlich in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Offenstellung verschwenkbar ist, in welcher die Öffnung 14 über ihren gesamten Querschnitt von aussen zugänglich ist. Die Tür 16 ist über in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Mittel in ihrer Schliessstellung fixierbar. Dies kann z. B. in der Weise geschehen, dass die Tür einerseits und der mit ihr zusammenwirkende Rand des Druckbehälters 12 andererseits nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses miteinander verriegelbar sind, wobei die Tür dazu gegenüber den Armen 19 um eine kurze Wegstrecke im Bogenmass drehbar angeordnet sein muss.The exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing has an outer container 11, which is essentially square in cross section, and an essentially cylindrical pressure container 12 fixedly mounted therein. The latter is provided on one of its end faces with an opening 14 (FIG. 1), the cross section of which is essentially the same as the free cross section within the pressure vessel 12. This opening 14 can be closed in a pressure-tight manner by means of a door 16, which is attached to the pressure container 12 by means of two hinges 18 and two arms 19 in such a way that it moves laterally from its closed position shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5 into the one shown in FIG. 1 Open position shown is pivotable, in which the opening 14 is accessible from the outside over its entire cross section. The door 16 can be fixed in its closed position by means not shown in the drawing. This can e.g. B. happen in such a way that the door on the one hand and the cooperating edge of the pressure container 12 on the other hand can be locked together in the manner of a bayonet lock, the door having to be rotatable by a short distance in radian measure relative to the arms 19.

Der Container 11 besteht aus einem Rahmen 22, zwischen dessen einzelnen Teilen vorzugsweise aus Stahlblech bestehende Wandteile angebracht sind. An der der Öffnung 14 des Druckbehälters 12 zugeordneten Stirnseite des Containers 11 ist dieser mit einer Öffnung 28 versehen, die mittels einer Tür 24 verschliessbar ist, die aus zwei Flügeln 25 besteht. Letztere sind um vertikale Achsen schwenkbar an den Seitenwänden des Containers angebracht.The container 11 consists of a frame 22, between the individual parts of which are preferably made of sheet steel wall parts. On the front side of the container 11 associated with the opening 14 of the pressure container 12, the container 11 is provided with an opening 28 which can be closed by means of a door 24 which consists of two wings 25. The latter are attached to the side walls of the container so as to be pivotable about vertical axes.

Innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 ist ein in dessen Längsrichtung verlaufendes, aus zwei Schienen 32 bestehendes Gleis angeordnet, das als Führung für einen Schlitten 26 dient. Letzterer ist unterseitig mit in Längsrichtung des Gleises verlaufenden Führungsabschnitten 30 versehen, von denen jeder eine auf der Oberseite der jeweils zugeordneten Schiene aufsitzende Gleitfläche 33 aufweist. Ferner sind seitlich am Kopf der jeweiligen Schiene angeordnete Führungsleisten 35 vorgesehen, die der Seitenführung dienen. Die Gleitflächen 33 und die Innenflächen der Führungsleisten 35 können mit einem die Reibung vermindernden Belag, beispielsweise aus Teflon, versehen sein. Ausserdem ist jeder Führungsabschnitt 30 mit einem den jeweils zugehörigen Fuss der Schiene 32 untergreifenden Fortsatz 37 versehen, der dazu dient, ein Abheben des Schlittens 26 von den Schienen 32 zu verhindern.Arranged within the pressure vessel 12 is a track consisting of two rails 32 and running in the longitudinal direction thereof, which serves as a guide for a carriage 26. The latter is provided on the underside with guide sections 30 running in the longitudinal direction of the track, each of which has a sliding surface 33 seated on the top of the respectively assigned rail. Furthermore, guide strips 35 are provided on the side of the head of the respective rail, which serve for lateral guidance. The sliding surfaces 33 and the inner surfaces of the guide strips 35 can be provided with a friction-reducing coating, for example made of Teflon. In addition, each guide section 30 is provided with an extension 37 which engages under the respectively associated foot of the rail 32 and which serves to prevent the carriage 26 from being lifted off the rails 32.

Bei geschlossenem Container 11 ist zwischen dem darin befindlichen Druckbehälter 12 und der den Container verschliessenden Tür 24 eine dem Container gegenüber verschwenkbare Einrichtung angeordnet, die dazu dient, den Schlitten 26 in eine Position zu bringen, in welcher er sich gemäss der Darstellung der Fig. 1 vor dem Container 11 befindet. Diese Einrichtung besteht im wesentlichen aus einem zwei zueinander parallele Träger 36 aufweisenden Gestell, das bei 59 schwenkbar am Boden 38 des Containers angebracht ist. Diese Träger können aus der in den Figuren 2, 3 und 4 dargestellten Lage, in welcher sie nach oben verschwenkt sind und sich zwischen Druckbehälter 12 und Tür 24 befinden, in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Lage verschwenkt werden, in welcher sie im wesentlichen horizontal und in Längsrichtung des Containers verlaufen. Beide Träger 36 sind mit schwenkbar angebrachten höhenverstellbaren Stützen 39 versehen, die dazu dienen, die Träger 36 auf dem Boden abzustützen. Nahe ihrem freien, in Fig. 1 der Zeichnung linken Ende ist an beiden Trägern 36 eine Seilwinde 40 angebracht, die das Gestell zu einem U-Rahmen ergänzt. An ihrem der Seilwinde 40 benachbarten Endbereich 43 sind die Träger 36 so dimensioniert, dass in der Position gemäss Fig. 1 ein jeweils an ihnen angebrachter Schienenabschnitt 44 bei entsprechender Einstellung der Stützen 39 die Höhenlage innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 befindlichen Schienen 32 einnimmt und beide Schienenabschnitte 44 einen Gleisabschnitt bilden, der mit dem von den beiden Schienen 32 im Druckbehälter 12 gebildeten Gleis fluchtet. Ferner weist jeder Träger 36 einen jeweils bei 41 schwenkbar angelenkten Trägerabschnitt 42 auf. Der zwischen dem Bereich 43 und dem Anlenkpunkt 37 befindliche Bereich jedes Trägers 36 ist so dimensioniert, dass der jeweils zugehörige Trägerabschnitt 42 in seiner in den Figuren 1 und 8 dargestellten Position mit der Oberseite des Bereiches 43 fluchtet. Die beiden Trägerabschnitte 42 tragen oberseitig ebenfalls jeweils einen Schienenabschnitt 47, so dass in der Position gemäss den Figuren 1 und 8 der von den beiden Schienenabschnitten 47 gebildete Gleisabschnitt mit dem Gleis 32 im Druckbehälter 12 und dem von den Schienenabschnitten 44 gebildeten Gleisabschnitt fluchtet. Somit stellen die von den Schienenabschnitten 44 und 47 gebildeten Gleisabschnitte in ihrer nach unten verschwenkten Lage gemäss den Figuren 1 und 8 eine Verlängerung des von den Schienen 32 gebildeten Gleises innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 dar.When the container 11 is closed, a device which can be pivoted relative to the container is arranged between the pressure container 12 located therein and the door 24 closing the container, which device serves to bring the carriage 26 into a position in which, according to the illustration in FIG is located in front of the container 11. This device essentially consists of a frame having two mutually parallel supports 36, which is pivotally mounted at 59 on the bottom 38 of the container. These supports can be pivoted from the position shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, in which they are pivoted upwards and are located between pressure vessel 12 and door 24, into the position shown in FIG. 1, in which they are essentially horizontal and run in the longitudinal direction of the container. Both brackets 36 are provided with pivotable height-adjustable supports 39 which serve to support the brackets 36 on the floor. Near its free end, the left end in FIG. 1 of the drawing, a cable winch 40 is attached to both supports 36, which complements the frame to form a U-frame. At their end region 43 adjacent to the cable winch 40, the supports 36 are dimensioned such that, in the position according to FIG. 1, a rail section 44 attached to them assumes the height of the rails 32 located within the pressure vessel 12 when the supports 39 are set accordingly, and both rail sections 44 form a track section that is aligned with the track formed by the two rails 32 in the pressure vessel 12. Furthermore, each carrier 36 has a carrier section 42 which is pivotably articulated at 41 in each case. The area of each support 36 located between the area 43 and the articulation point 37 is dimensioned such that the associated support section 42 in its position shown in FIGS. 1 and 8 is aligned with the top of the area 43. The two support sections 42 also each carry a rail section 47 on the top side, so that in the position according to FIGS. 1 and 8, the track section formed by the two rail sections 47 is aligned with the track 32 in the pressure vessel 12 and the track section formed by the rail sections 44. Thus, the track sections formed by the rail sections 44 and 47, in their downwardly pivoted position according to FIGS. 1 and 8, represent an extension of the track formed by the rails 32 within the pressure vessel 12.

Innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 ist eine Rohrleitung 50 angeordnet, die an der der Öffnung 14 abgekehrten Stirnseite durch die Wandung des Druckbehälters 12 hindurchgeführt ist, wobei im Bereich ausserhalb desselben diese Rohrleitung 50 mit wenigstens einem von aussen betätigbaren Absperrorgan 51 versehen ist. Innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 zweigt von der Leitung 50 ein Anschlussstutzen 52 ab, der wie das innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 befindliche freie Ende der Leitung 50 durch einen Blindflansch 53 verschliessbar ist.Arranged within the pressure vessel 12 is a pipeline 50 which is guided through the wall of the pressure vessel 12 on the end face remote from the opening 14, this pipeline 50 being provided with at least one shut-off element 51 which can be actuated from the outside in the region thereof. A connection piece 52 branches off from the line 50 within the pressure vessel 12 and, like the free end of the line 50 located within the pressure vessel 12, can be closed by a blind flange 53.

Der zwischen Containerwandung und der Mantelfläche des Druckbehälters 12 und gegebenenfalls auch der der Öffnung 14 abgekehrten Stirnfläche des Druckbehälters befindliche Raum 54, der an der der Containeröffnung 28 abgekehrten Seite durch eine Wand 55 begrenzt ist, ist mit einer Heizeinrichtung versehen und/oder an eine solche anschliessbar. Bei dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist zu diesem Zweck eine Rohrleitung 56 vorgesehen, die im Raum 54 endet und aussen unter Zwischenschaltung eines Absperrorgans 58 an eine Zuleitung für Dampf anschliessbar ist. Eine weitere Leitung 60 dient der Abführung des Kondensats nach aussen. Anstelle dieser mittels Dampf betriebenen Heizeinrichtung oder ggf. auch zusätzlich zu dieser kann eine elektrische Heizeinrichtung vorgesehen sein, z.B. in Form von Heizmatten 61, die aussenseitig am Druckbehälter 12 angeordnet sind. Weiterhin ist die Wandung des Containers 11 mit einer geeigneten Wärmeisolierung 62 versehen. Diese kann auch an oder in der Tür 24 angebracht sein.The space 54 located between the container wall and the outer surface of the pressure vessel 12 and possibly also the end face of the pressure vessel facing away from the opening 14, which is delimited by a wall 55 on the side facing away from the container opening 28, is provided with and / or on a heating device connectable. In the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing, a pipeline 56 is provided for this purpose, which ends in the space 54 and can be connected externally to a supply line for steam with the interposition of a shut-off element 58. Another line 60 is used to discharge the condensate to the outside. Instead of this heating device operated by means of steam or possibly also in addition to this, an electrical heating device can be provided, e.g. in the form of heating mats 61 which are arranged on the outside of the pressure vessel 12. Furthermore, the wall of the container 11 is provided with a suitable thermal insulation 62. This can also be attached to or in the door 24.

Bei der im folgenden beschriebenen Benutzung der Vorrichtung wird unterstellt, dass ein mit umweltschädlichem Material gefüllter, beispielsweise UFa, gefüllter Lagerbehälter beschädigt oder sonstwie undicht geworden ist, so dass sich die Notwendigkeit ergibt, das Füllgut in einen anderen Lagerbehälter umzufüllen, wobei es erforderlich sein kann, den defekten Lagerbehälter mit dem darin befindlichen Füllgut zunächst von einem Ort zu einem anderen Ort zu transportieren, wo das Umfüllen geschieht.In the use of the device described below, it is assumed that a storage container filled with environmentally harmful material, for example UF a , has been damaged or has otherwise become leaky, so that there is a need to transfer the contents into another storage container, which may be necessary can first of all transport the defective storage container with the contents therein from one place to another place where the transfer takes place.

Bei Benutzung der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Vorrichtung wird zunächst die Tür 24 geöffnet. Alsdann werden die Träger 36 aus der in den Figuren 2, 3 und 4 dargestellten Ausgangslage, in welcher sie sich innerhalb des Containers 11 befinden, nach aussen in die in den Figuren 1 und 8 dargestellten Lagen um die Achse 59 verschwenkt. Dazu können an sich bekannte, in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Antriebsmittel verwendet werden. Die Stützen 39 werden in die ebenfalls in den Figuren 1 und 8 dargestellte Lage geschwenkt. Weiterhin ist es erforderlich, die Trägerabschnitte 42 in Richtung des Pfeiles 63 (Fig. 1) soweit nach links zu verschwenken, dass sie sich ausserhalb des Bewegungsbereiches der Tür 16 des Druckbehälters 12 befinden. Dann kann diese Tür geöffnet und um etwa 90° in die in Fig. 1 der Zeichnung dargestellte Lage verschwenkt werden. Danach werden die Trägerabschnitte 42 entgegen der Richtung des Pfeiles 63 in die in den Figuren 1 und 8 dargestellte Arbeitslage zurückgeschwenkt. Nun kann der Schlitten 26, der sich normalerweise innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 befindet, aus diesem in die Lage gemäss Fig. 1, also auf die von den Schienenabschnitten 44 und 47 gebildeten Gleisabschnitte verschoben werden. In dieser Position befindet sich der Schlitten ausserhalb des Containers 11, so dass er von oben und auch von den Seiten zugänglich ist. - Die Bewegung des Schlittens 26 aus der Position gemäss den Figuren 2 und 3 in die der Fig. 1 wird durch die Seilwinde 40 bewirkt, die mit zwei Seilen 64 und 65 versehen ist. Das Seil 65 wird direkt von der Seilwinde am Schlitten 26 befestigt, so dass eine entsprechende Betätigung der Seilwinde die vorerwähnte Verschiebung des Schlittens 26 bewirkt. Das Seil 64 ist um eine Umlenkrolle 66 geführt, die innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 an dessen der Öffnung 14 abgekehrten Ende angeordnet ist. Mithin bewirkt eine entsprechende Betätigung der Seilwinde 40 eine Verschiebung des Schlittens 26 aus der Position gemäss Fig. 1 in den Druckbehälter 12 hinein.When using the device shown in the drawing, the door 24 is first opened. The carriers 36 are then pivoted outward from the starting position shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, in which they are located within the container 11, into the positions shown in FIGS. 1 and 8 about the axis 59. For this purpose known drive means, not shown in the drawing, can be used. The supports 39 are pivoted into the position also shown in FIGS. 1 and 8. Furthermore, it is necessary to to pivot left sections 42 in the direction of arrow 63 (FIG. 1) to the left such that they are outside the range of movement of the door 16 of the pressure vessel 12. Then this door can be opened and pivoted about 90 ° into the position shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing. The carrier sections 42 are then pivoted back against the direction of the arrow 63 into the working position shown in FIGS. 1 and 8. Now the carriage 26, which is normally located within the pressure container 12, can be shifted from the latter into the position according to FIG. 1, that is to say onto the track sections formed by the rail sections 44 and 47. In this position, the slide is located outside the container 11, so that it is accessible from above and also from the sides. The movement of the carriage 26 from the position according to FIGS. 2 and 3 into that of FIG. 1 is brought about by the cable winch 40, which is provided with two cables 64 and 65. The rope 65 is attached directly to the sled 26 by the winch, so that a corresponding actuation of the winch brings about the aforementioned displacement of the sled 26. The rope 64 is guided around a deflection roller 66, which is arranged inside the pressure vessel 12 at the end remote from the opening 14. Accordingly, a corresponding actuation of the cable winch 40 causes the carriage 26 to be shifted from the position according to FIG. 1 into the pressure container 12.

Sobald der Schlitten 26 die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Position einnimmt, kann ein in den Druckbehälter 12 einzubringender Gegenstand, beispielsweise der vorerwähnte beschädigte Lagerbehälter 68, auf den Schlitten 26 aufgesetzt werden. Letzterer ist, wie insbesondere Fig. 6 der Zeichnung erkennen lässt, mit Stützschalen 67 versehen, die der Form des Behälters 68 angepasst sind. Letzterer kann im Bedarfsfall in geeigneter Weise, z. B. unter Verwendung von Seilen, Ketten oder dgl. auf dem Schlitten 26 befestigt werden. Danach wird dieser mit dem nunmehr darauf befindlichen Behälter 68 durch entsprechende Betätigung der Seilwinde 40 in den Druckbehälter 12 hineingezogen, also in die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Position gebracht. Insbesondere Fig. 1 lässt erkennen, dass die Anzahl der Führungsabschnitte 30 sowie deren Abstände voneinander so gewählt sind, dass die zwischen den jeweils zusammengehörenden Schienenabschnitten 44 und 47 sowie 32 vorhandenen Abstände ohne weiteres im Zuge der Bewegung des Schlittens 26 in den Druckbehälter 12 hinein überbrückt werden.As soon as the carriage 26 assumes the position shown in FIG. 1, an object to be introduced into the pressure container 12, for example the aforementioned damaged storage container 68, can be placed on the carriage 26. As can be seen in particular in FIG. 6 of the drawing, the latter is provided with support shells 67 which are adapted to the shape of the container 68. The latter can, if necessary, in a suitable manner, for. B. are attached to the sled 26 using ropes, chains or the like. Then this, with the container 68 now located thereon, is pulled into the pressure container 12 by corresponding actuation of the cable winch 40, that is to say brought into the position shown in FIG. 2. In particular, FIG. 1 shows that the number of guide sections 30 and their spacing from one another are selected such that the spacing between the rail sections 44 and 47 and 32 that belong together in each case bridges into pressure vessel 12 as the slide 26 moves will.

Sobald der Schlitten mit dem darauf befindlichen Behälter 68 die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Endposition erreicht hat, wird der Druckbehälter 12 dicht verschlossen, nachdem ggf. - in Abhängigkeit vom Füllgut und vom Ausmass der Beschädigung des Behälters 68 - mittels eines Schlauchabschnittes 70 (Fig. 2) eine Verbindung zwischen dem Inneren des Lagerbehälters 68 und der durch das Ventil 51 verschlossenen Rohrleitung 50 hergestellt worden war. Die Seile 64 und 65 können vor dem Verschliessen des Druckbehälters 12 von der Seilwinde gelöst und in den Druckbehälter gelegt werden. Schlitten 26 und Lagerbehälter 68 sind innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 verriegelt. Dazu dienen einmal Klemmstücke 72, die innenseitig am Druckbehälter 12 angebracht sind und eine am Ende des Lagerbehälters 68 angebrachte Schutzschürze 78 in dessen Endlage übergreifen. Ausserdem greifen an der Innenseite der Tür 16 angebrachte Fortsätze 79 in der Schliessstellung der Tür 16 in eine am anderen Ende des Lagerbehälters 68 angebrachte Schutzschürze 80 ein.As soon as the slide with the container 68 located thereon has reached the end position shown in FIG. 2, the pressure container 12 is sealed tightly, after - depending on the filling material and the extent of the damage to the container 68 - possibly by means of a hose section 70 (FIG. 2) a connection between the interior of the storage container 68 and the pipeline 50 closed by the valve 51 had been established. The ropes 64 and 65 can be released from the winch and placed in the pressure vessel before the pressure vessel 12 is closed. Carriage 26 and storage container 68 are locked within the pressure container 12. For this purpose, clamping pieces 72 are used, which are attached to the inside of the pressure container 12 and overlap a protective apron 78 attached to the end of the storage container 68 in its end position. In addition, in the closed position of the door 16, extensions 79 attached to the inside of the door 16 engage in a protective apron 80 attached to the other end of the storage container 68.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 4 unterscheidet sich von dem gemäss den Figuren 1 und 2 dadurch, dass der in den Druckbehälter 12 eingebrachte Lagerbehälter 168 wesentlich kleiner ist. Deshalb ist ein besonderes Klemmstück 172 vorgesehen, das ebenfalls eine am Lagerbehälter 168 angebrachte Schutzschürze 178 übergreift und damit die aus Lagerbehälter 168 und Schlitten 26 bestehende Einheit verkeilt. Da der Lagerbehälter 168 zu kurz ist als dass er durch die an der Tür 16 angebrachten Klemmstücke 59 in seiner Lage gesichert werden könnte, ist eine besondere Feststelleinrichtung 82 vorgesehen, die im wesentlichen aus einem Längsträger 83 und zwei Querträgern 84 besteht. Die Länge des Längsträgers 83 ist dabei so bemessen, dass er zwischen Tür 16 und einer Schutzschürze 180 des Lagerbehälters 168 einklemmbar ist. Fig. 4 der Zeichnung lässt erkennen, dass der Längsträger 83 an seinem dem Lagerbehälter 168 zugekehrten Ende mit einem Ausschnitt 86 versehen ist, dessen stirnseitige Begrenzung 87 an der Schürze 180 anliegt. Die beiden Querträger 84 sind mit Fortsätzen 88 versehen, die an den Schienen 32 mittels Schrauben oder sonstwie in geeigneter Weise festklemmbar sind. - Aufgrund der geringeren Länge des Lagerbehälters 168 erfolgt die Verbindung mit der Leitung 50 über den Schlauchabschnitt 170 vom Anschlussstutzen 52 her, wohingegen das freie Ende der Leitung 50 verschlossen ist.The embodiment according to FIG. 4 differs from that according to FIGS. 1 and 2 in that the storage container 168 introduced into the pressure container 12 is significantly smaller. Therefore, a special clamping piece 172 is provided, which also overlaps a protective apron 178 attached to the storage container 168 and thus wedges the unit consisting of the storage container 168 and the slide 26. Since the storage container 168 is too short to be secured in its position by the clamping pieces 59 attached to the door 16, a special locking device 82 is provided, which essentially consists of a longitudinal beam 83 and two cross beams 84. The length of the longitudinal beam 83 is dimensioned such that it can be clamped between the door 16 and a protective apron 180 of the storage container 168. FIG. 4 of the drawing shows that the longitudinal beam 83 is provided with a cutout 86 at its end facing the storage container 168, the front edge 87 of which bears against the apron 180. The two cross members 84 are provided with extensions 88 which can be clamped to the rails 32 by means of screws or in some other suitable manner. - Because of the shorter length of the storage container 168, the connection to the line 50 takes place via the hose section 170 from the connecting piece 52, whereas the free end of the line 50 is closed.

Fig. 3 lässt erkennen, dass bei leerem Druckbehälter 12 die Feststelleinrichtung 82 dazu dient, den Schlitten 26 in seiner Lage zu sichern. Die Stirnseite 87 des Ausschnittes 86 stützt sich dabei an einer geeigneten Fläche des Schlittens 26 oder eines daran befestigten Teiles ab.3 shows that when the pressure vessel 12 is empty, the locking device 82 serves to secure the carriage 26 in its position. The end face 87 of the cutout 86 is supported on a suitable surface of the slide 26 or a part fastened thereon.

Aufgrund des geringeren Durchmessers des Lagerbehälters 168 ist es notwendig oder doch zumindest vorteilhaft, die den Lagerbehälter aufnehmenden Schützschalen des Schlittens 26 an den Durchmesser des Lagerbehälters anzupassen. Fig. 3 und 4 lassen erkennen, dass zu diesem Zweck besondere Stützschalen 167 vorgesehen sind, die lösbar am Schlitten 26 befestigt werden können.Because of the smaller diameter of the storage container 168, it is necessary, or at least advantageous, to adapt the protective shells of the carriage 26 that receive the storage container to the diameter of the storage container. 3 and 4 show that special support shells 167 are provided for this purpose, which can be detachably attached to the slide 26.

Die aus Druckbehälter 12 mit darin befindlichem Lagerbehälter 68 bzw. 168 und Container 11 bestehende Einheit kann unter Verwendung üblicher Mittel und Fahrzeuge an einen Ort gebracht werden, wo optimale Voraussetzungen für das Umfüllen des im Lagerbehälter 68 bzw. 168 befindlichen Materials in einen anderen Behälter gegeben sind. Im Falle beispielsweise von UFa kann dies in der Weise geschehen, dass an dem ausserhalb des Druckbehälters 12 befindlichen Ende der Rohrleitung 50 ein Aufnahmebehälter, bei dem es sich um einen anderen Lagerbehälter entsprechender Grösse handeln kann, dicht angeschlossen wird. Wenn der den Druckbehälter 12 umgebende Raum 54 beheizt wird, steigen Temperatur und Druck auch im Druckbehälter 12 und in dem darin befindlichen Lagerbehälter 68 bzw. 168 an. Bei dem als Beispiel genannten UFa findet eine Sublimation innerhalb des Lagerbehälters statt mit dem Ergebnis, dass die Gase bei geöffnetem Ventil 51 durch die Rohrleitung 50 in den aussen befindlichen, in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Aufnahmebehälter gelangen und dort wieder niedergeschlagen werden. Dazu ist es lediglich erforderlich, dass im Aufnahmebehälter eine ausreichend niedrige Temperatur herrscht. Durch entsprechende Steuerung der Heizeinrichtung ist es jederzeit ohne Schwierigkeiten möglich, den Vorgang so ablaufen zu lassen, dass Temperatur und Druck innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 einen bestimmten, verhältnismässig niedrigen Wert nicht überschreiten, so dass an die Ausgestaltung des Druckbehälters 12 keine das übliche Mass übersteigenden Anforderungen zu stellen sind. So reicht es aus, den Druckbehälter auf einen Druck von 10 bar und eine Temperatur in der Grössenordnung von 100°C auszulegen. Beim vorbeschriebenen Umfüllen von UFa mittels Sublimation wird im allgemeinen ein Überdruck in der Grössenordnung von 1-2 bar nicht überschritten werden.The unit consisting of pressure container 12 with storage container 68 or 168 and container 11 therein can be brought to a location using conventional means and vehicles, where there are optimal conditions for transferring the material located in storage container 68 or 168 into another container are. In the case of UF a , for example, this can be done in in such a way that a receptacle, which can be another storage container of corresponding size, is tightly connected to the end of the pipeline 50 located outside the pressure container 12. When the space 54 surrounding the pressure vessel 12 is heated, the temperature and pressure also rise in the pressure vessel 12 and in the storage vessel 68 and 168 therein. In the case of the UF a cited as an example, sublimation takes place within the storage container, with the result that, when the valve 51 is open, the gases pass through the pipeline 50 into the receptacle not shown in the drawing and are deposited there again. All that is required is that the temperature in the receptacle is sufficiently low. By appropriately controlling the heating device, it is possible at any time without difficulty to let the process run in such a way that the temperature and pressure within the pressure vessel 12 do not exceed a certain, relatively low value, so that no requirements exceeding the usual dimensions are imposed on the design of the pressure vessel 12 are to be asked. It is therefore sufficient to design the pressure vessel at a pressure of 10 bar and a temperature in the order of 100 ° C. When transferring UF a by sublimation as described above, an overpressure of the order of 1-2 bar will generally not be exceeded.

Es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich, in entsprechender Weise das Umfüllen durch Übergang von einer flüssigen in die gasförmige Phase oder ggf. von einer festen über eine flüssige in eine gasförmige Phase durchzuführen. Nach dem Entleeren des auf dem Schlitten 26 befindlichen Lagerbehälters 68 bzw. 168 können Container und Druckbehälter 12 - ggf. nach Transport an einen besonderen, dafür geeigneten Ort - wieder geöffnet werden, um den Schlitten 26 mit dem darauf befindlichen, nunmehr leeren Behälter wieder in die Position gemäss Fig. 1 zu verschieben und abzutransportieren. Wenn notwendig, können Druckbehälter 12 und Schlitten 26 und die anderen benutzten Teile, beispielsweise die Seile, dekontaminiert werden.It is of course also possible to carry out the transfer in a corresponding manner by transition from a liquid to a gaseous phase or, if appropriate, from a solid to a liquid to a gaseous phase. After the storage container 68 or 168 located on the slide 26 has been emptied, the container and pressure container 12 can be opened again, if necessary after transport to a special, suitable location, in order to put the slide 26 with the now empty container on it again to move the position according to FIG. 1 and to remove it. If necessary, pressure vessel 12 and sled 26 and the other parts used, such as the ropes, can be decontaminated.

Bei dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Behälter 12 auf Stützen 76 befestigt, die fest am Containerboden angebracht sind. Es sind auch andere Ausgestaltungen denkbar, z. B. solche, bei denen der Druckbehälter 12 zwar in seiner Lage gesichert, jedoch lösbar mit dem Container 11 verbunden ist.In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the container 12 is attached to supports 76 which are fixedly attached to the container floor. Other configurations are also conceivable, e.g. B. those in which the pressure vessel 12 is secured in its position, but is detachably connected to the container 11.

Der den Druckbehälter 12 aufnehmende Bereich endet an der Wand 55, hinter der der Container mit einem Fortsatz versehen ist, innerhalb dessen Armaturen, Bedingungselemente und Antriebseinrichtungen angeordnet werden können.The area receiving the pressure vessel 12 ends on the wall 55, behind which the container is provided with an extension, within which fittings, condition elements and drive devices can be arranged.

Unter Berücksichtigung der an die Vorrichtung zu stellenden Anforderungen wird es zweckmässig sein, dem Druckbehälter eine Grössenordnung von etwa 10 m3 zu geben. Dies erlaubt eine Dimensionierung der Gesamtvorrichtung, die den Transport als Container mit den üblichen Containergeschirren ermöglicht. Andererseits ist der Druckbehälter 12 gross genug, um beispielsweise bei UFa einen Lagerbehälter 68 aufzunehmen, der etwa 10-15 t fasst.Taking into account the requirements to be placed on the device, it will be expedient to give the pressure vessel an order of magnitude of approximately 10 m 3 . This allows the overall device to be dimensioned, which enables it to be transported as a container with the usual container dishes. On the other hand, the pressure vessel 12 is large enough to accommodate, for example , a storage vessel 68 at UF a , which can hold about 10-15 t.

Falls, wie beispielsweise bei der Handhabung von UFa, die Notwendigkeit besteht, vor dem Einführen eines Lagerbehälters 68 bzw. 168 den Druckbehälter 12 hinein letzteren zu evakuieren, kann dies über die Leitung 50 geschehen.If, as in the handling of UF a , for example, there is a need to evacuate the pressure vessel 12 before inserting a storage vessel 68 or 168, this can be done via the line 50.

Die Verbindungsschläuche 70 und 170 sind dann nicht erforderlich, wenn der innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 zu entleerende Lagerbehälter so beschädigt ist, dass die in ihm befindliche Substanz ohne weiteres nach aussen entweichen kann. Es ist dann nur erforderlich, den Anschlussstutzen 52 und/oder das freie Ende der Leitung 50 innerhalb des Druckbehälters 12 zu öffnen.The connecting hoses 70 and 170 are not required if the storage container to be emptied within the pressure container 12 is so damaged that the substance in it can easily escape to the outside. It is then only necessary to open the connecting piece 52 and / or the free end of the line 50 within the pressure vessel 12.

Es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich, die Vorrichtung zu verwenden, ohne dass die gegenüber der Aussenatmosphäre abzuschirmende Substanz sich in einem Lagerbehälter befindet, wenngleich im Normalfall diese Voraussetzung aufgrund der Tatsache erfüllt sein wird, dass derartige Substanzen anders nicht aufbewahrt oder transportiert werden können.It is of course also possible to use the device without the substance to be shielded from the outside atmosphere being in a storage container, although this requirement will normally be met due to the fact that such substances cannot otherwise be stored or transported.

Der Innenraum des Druckbehälters 12 ist durch eine weitere mit ihm druckdicht verbundene, mit wenigstens einem Absperrorgan 91 versehene Leitung 90 an eine Quelle für ein gasförmiges Medium anschliessbar, das beispielsweise dazu dienen kann, ein inertes Gas in den Innenraum des Druckbehälters einzuführen. Im Falle des Umfüllens von UF, bedeutet «inert», dass es sich um ein Gas handelt, welches im wesentlichen frei von Wasserdampf ist. Bei einem solchen Gas kann es sich um Stickstoff handeln. Die Zuführung von inertem Gas kann aber auch dann zweckmässig sein, wenn es sich bei den im Druckbehälter befindlichen Substanzen um solche brennbarer Art handelt, da die Vorrichtung nicht auf die Handhabung von UFa beschränkt ist.The interior of the pressure vessel 12 can be connected to a source of a gaseous medium by means of a further line 90 connected to it in a pressure-tight manner and provided with at least one shut-off element 91, which source can be used, for example, to introduce an inert gas into the interior of the pressure vessel. In the case of transferring UF, “inert” means that it is a gas that is essentially free of water vapor. Such a gas can be nitrogen. However, the supply of inert gas can also be expedient if the substances in the pressure vessel are of such a combustible type, since the device is not restricted to the handling of UF a .

Die vorbeschriebene Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung berücksichtigt alle praktischen Erfordernisse. Die elektrische Beheizung des Druckbehälters 12 weist den Vorteil auf, dass sie überall, und sei es mit Hilfe eines durch einen Verbrennungsmotor angetriebenen Generators, betrieben werden kann, wohingegen die dampfbeheizte Einrichtung normalerweise nur an bestimmten Stellen verwendbar ist, an welcher Dampf verfügbar ist.The above-described design of the device takes into account all practical requirements. The electrical heating of the pressure vessel 12 has the advantage that it can be operated anywhere, be it with the aid of a generator driven by an internal combustion engine, whereas the steam-heated device can normally only be used at certain points at which steam is available.

Es ist auch möglich, die Gesamtvorrichtung fahrbar auszubilden, also beispielsweise auf ein LKW-Fahrgestell oder auf das Fahrgestell eines Eisenbahnwagens aufzusetzen. Die Ausgestaltung als Container jedoch wird praktisch allen denkbaren Einsatzerfordernissen Rechnung tragen können.It is also possible to design the entire device to be mobile, for example to place it on a truck chassis or on the chassis of a railroad car. The design as a container, however, will be able to meet practically all conceivable application requirements.

Der Container steht bei dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel an beiden Seiten über den Druckbehälter über, so dass auch die Endbereiche des Druckbehälters während des Transportes selbst dann geschützt sind, wenn die Stirnseiten des Containers nicht verschlossen sind.In the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing, the container projects beyond the pressure vessel on both sides, so that the end regions of the pressure vessel are also protected during transport even if the End faces of the container are not closed.
