Definitions

  • a temperature-controllable tank container of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1, is known from DE-C2-2 917 364.
  • the thermal insulation jacket is arranged on the flat wall surfaces of a rectangular container frame. There are large triangular flow cross sections between these flat wall surfaces and the cylindrical tank jacket, which means that a large part of the temperature control medium can flow without contact with the tank jacket, especially since passage openings for the temperature control medium are arranged relatively far away from the tank jacket in support walls arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis .
  • the space present between the tank jacket and the thermal jacket is further divided by separators in such a way that the tempering medium flows essentially in the axial direction of the tank, whereby laminar flow can occur over longer distances.
  • a flow path is formed that is only two to four times the tank length.
  • the arrangement of the heat insulation on the flat surfaces of the container frame requires a considerable amount of insulating and covering material and means a corresponding increase in the tare weight of the entire tank container.
  • the invention is based on the general object of at least partially eliminating disadvantages, such as occur in comparable tank containers according to the prior art.
  • a more specific object of the invention can be seen in specifying a temperature-controllable tank container that does not need a complete container frame and which, with a simple construction and as low a tare weight as possible, allows uniform flushing of the tank jacket with good use of the temperature control medium.
  • the tempering medium is in a uniformly thick layer, which in practice is only a few centimeters, along a helical path around the cylinder circumference in close contact with the tank jacket, at least once in both Directions.
  • the uniform and small distance of the thermal insulation jacket from the tank jacket and the helical shape of the flow path cause a constant circulation of the temperature control medium, so that the entire flow rate is used for an intensive heat exchange on the surface of the tank jacket.
  • the helical dividers are easy to attach and, at the same time, provide a more stable support for the thermal insulation jacket than the conventional rings running in the circumferential direction, since they offer support points at continuously different locations in the axial direction.
  • a closed box-shaped container frame is not required. Rather, the design according to the invention is preferably suitable for tank containers in which the frame consists of only two with the bottoms of a self-supporting one Tanks are connected to end groups.
  • the tank jacket is constructed from a cylindrical shell 10 and bottoms 11, 12 attached to its two ends, which are each connected to diagonal struts 14 of end frames 15 via end rings 13.
  • Such a purely end suspension of a cylindrical tank on two end frames is known from DE-C2-3 212 696.
  • the two end frames 15 are additionally shown connected to one another via lower longitudinal bars 16.
  • the right tank bottom 12 according to Figure 1 is provided with a manhole 17 and a drain 18.
  • a filler connection 19 is also shown near the left tank bottom 11 in FIG. 1 in the apex line of the cylindrical tank shell 10.
  • each separating web 20, 21 surrounds the tank jacket twice, all four end points of these dividing webs lying in a horizontal plane containing the tank axis in the illustration according to FIG.
  • the two dividers 20, 21 can consist of rectangular profiled tiles of, for example, 8 mm ⁇ 30 mm, which are welded to the tank shell with their narrow edge. In order to avoid voltage peaks at the end points of the separating webs 20, 21, these attach to pipe sockets 22, which are each welded to the tank jacket with a closed circular seam.
  • the separating webs 20, 21 keep a heat insulation jacket, generally designated 23, at a distance from the tank jacket, this heat insulation jacket being constructed according to the partial section indicated in FIG. 1 below from an inner skin 24, an outer skin 25 and insulating material 26 arranged therebetween.
  • this heat insulation jacket being constructed according to the partial section indicated in FIG. 1 below from an inner skin 24, an outer skin 25 and insulating material 26 arranged therebetween.
  • the inner skin 24 of the thermal insulation jacket 23 by additional dis dance pieces in the form of beads or grommet-like formations 27 to be supported on the tank jacket.
  • the insulating compound 26 preferably consists of the largest possible polyurethane foam plates which are pre-slit on their surface facing the inner skin 24 and can thus be brought to the required cylindrical shape.
  • the thermal insulation jacket 23 runs with the cylindrical shape predetermined by the separating webs 20, 21 over the entire length of the tank container up to the front frame 15 and ends at flat or curved thermal insulation panels 28 inserted into this front frame 15, which can have a similar structure to the thermal insulation jacket 23.
  • the tank is therefore insulated on all sides.
  • the left bottom 11 of the tank according to FIG. 1 is provided with two openings 31, 32 which are used for connection to a temperature medium supply system.
  • a temperature medium supply system is particularly common on container ships, where the temperature control medium is, in particular, cooling air, which is available in large flow quantities with a small pressure difference. Similar supply systems are also available in port container warehouses.
  • the openings 31, 32 of the tank container are also referred to as “port holes”, the lower opening 31 forming an inlet opening and the upper opening 32 forming an outlet opening.
  • the flow of the cooling medium is brought about by an overpressure prevailing at the inlet opening 31 and a corresponding negative pressure which is effective at the outlet opening 32.
  • the space present between the left tank bottom 11, the thermal insulation jacket 23 and the end frame 15 closed off with a heat insulation plate 28 is divided both inside and outside of the end ring 13 by a separating plate 33 running in the horizontal central plane.
  • the separating plate 33 attaches to the two pipe sockets 22, which the separating webs 20, 21 end on the two opposite sides of the tank jacket.
  • the end ring 13 is provided with openings 34 both above and below the partition plate 33.
  • Corresponding through Breaks can alternatively or additionally be provided in the flanges of the diagonal struts 14 extending in the longitudinal direction of the tank.
  • a flow channel is formed for the temperature control medium, which from the lower inlet opening 31 through the lower openings 34 in the end ring 13, the one of the two helical flow channels formed between the two separating webs 20, 21 to the area of the tank bottom 12 on the right in FIG. from there back through the other of the two helical flow channels and through the upper openings 34 in the end ring 13 to the outlet opening 32. Since the flow channels between the two dividers 20, 21 have a relatively low, uniform height, the entire tank jacket is flowed around by the temperature control medium in close contact. The helical shape of the flow channels simultaneously causes the temperature control medium to circulate continuously, which prevents the formation of a laminar flow that is unfavorable for heat exchange.
  • the end ring 13 connecting the right tank bottom 12 to the end frame 15 is continuous and interrupted in the region of the emptying nozzle 18.
  • the diagonal struts 14 connecting this end ring 13 to the end frame 15 also have no openings.
  • the two separating webs 20, 21 end at a distance from the end ring 13 and thus leave space for the temperature medium to pass through.
  • the part of the tank bottom 12 located within the end ring 13 is not swept by the temperature control medium in this embodiment. Because of the good rinsing, which takes place in particular over the entire cylindrical shell 10, there is generally no need to temper the inner parts of the tank bottoms 11, 12. If this part is also to be tempered, the separating webs 20, 21 are carried out as far as the right end ring 13 and this or the corresponding diagonal struts 14 are provided with openings 34 similar to those in the left part of FIG gur 1 are indicated.
  • FIG. 3A shows a schematic view of the end face of a tank container provided with the inlet and outlet openings 31, 32, which is provided with four screw-shaped separating webs 35, 36, 37, 38.
  • FIG. 3B shows the opposite end face of the same tank container.
  • the separating webs 35 to 38 extend as far as the end ring 13.
  • each of the two openings 31, 32 opens into a connecting channel 40 formed by two limiting webs 39 which run at an acute angle and which, through openings in the end ring 13, connects to the between in each case a pair of separating webs 35, 36 and 37, 38 formed flow channel is connected.
  • the end ring 13 is provided with further openings which connect the flow channel formed between the separating webs 36, 37 across the calotte area of the floor to the opposite flow channel formed between the separating webs 35, 38.
  • the separating webs 35, 37 are guided up to the end ring 13 provided there, while the two other dividing webs 36, 38 end at a distance from this.
  • the temperature control medium takes from the inlet opening 31 to that indicated by the arrows A, B, C, D and E to the outlet opening 32, which wraps around the tank four times in a helical manner.
