Definitions

  • a temperature-controllable tank container with the features specified in the first part of claim 1 is known from DE-A-2 917 364.
  • This document is primarily concerned with a construction in which a thermal insulation jacket enclosing the tank is arranged on the flat wall surfaces of a cuboid container frame in which the tank is supported by horizontal and vertical support walls. Passage openings for a temperature control medium are formed in these supporting walls.
  • a spiral formation of dividers is also mentioned, without this construction being illustrated in more detail.
  • a tank car is also known, the tank of which is surrounded by a thermal insulation jacket, with helical separating webs between the tank jacket and the thermal jacket forming a channel for flow around the tank jacket with a temperature control medium.
  • the tank jacket itself is apparently self-supporting enough to be braced on its two end faces with the help of straps that are guided around it against the front platforms of the tank wagon.
  • GB-A-1 150 365 shows a conventional tank container with a non-insulated tank, the jacket of which is surrounded by circular reinforcement rings.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a temperature-controllable tank container which does not need a complete container frame and which, with a simple construction and as low a tare weight as possible, enables uniform flushing around the tank jacket with good use of the temperature control medium.
  • the temperature control medium is guided in a uniformly thick layer, which in practice is only a few centimeters, along a helical path running around the cylinder circumference in close contact with the tank jacket, with an intensive heat exchange taking place.
  • the frame of the tank container can be reduced to two end groups connected to the bottoms of the self-supporting tank, the helical dividers at the same time forming profile strips reinforcing the tank jacket, which favors the self-supporting property of the tank.
  • the end rings connecting the tank to the end frames are used in a similar way to the reinforcing profile strips for the formation of a coherent flow path for the temperature control medium.
  • a relatively narrow channel is provided on the end face provided with the inlet and outlet openings for the temperature control medium, which leads to the relevant opening in the end ring and is connected to the helical channel via a correspondingly limited opening in the end ring.
  • Claims 3 to 5 relate to advantageous designs of the thermal insulation jacket and additional stiffening measures.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a temperature-controllable tank container
  • Figure 2 is an end view of the tank container
  • the left half of Figure 2 is an end view of the 1, seen from the left
  • the right half shows an end view from the right
  • 3A and 3B are schematic views of the two end faces of a tank container in another embodiment.
  • 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, designated overall by 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 mass 26 arranged therebetween.
  • the inner skin 24 of the thermal insulation jacket 23 can be replaced by additional ones Spacers in the form of bead or spout-like formations 27 are 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. Appropriate Openings 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 flows 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. thence 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, 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 up to 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 Figure 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, via openings in the end ring 13, connects to the between a pair of dividers 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 dome region 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 the path indicated by the arrows A, B, C, D and E to the outlet opening 32 from the inlet opening 31, which loops around the tank four times in a helical manner.
