Abstract

Ein druckfester Tank für Transportcontainer besteht aus zwei oder mehreren parallelen teilzylindrischen Mantelschalen 1, dessen Enden mit aus Bodenschalen bestehenden Böden 2 verschlossen sind. Der Übergangsbereich zwischen den Bodenschalen 3 und den Mantelschalen 1 ist mit gewölbten Zwickelelementen 5 verschlossen. Die Druckfestigkeit wird in diesem Bereich über das Tankinnere durchsetzende ebene Rippenelemente 10 erreicht. Die Rippenelemente 10 reduzieren gleichzeitig, gegebenenfalls in Verbindung einer mit den Behälter in Längsrichtung teilenden Zugwand 4, die Schwallwirkungen längs und quer zur Fahrtrichtung auch bei teilgefülltem Behälter erheblich.

Figure 00000001
A pressure-resistant tank for transport containers consists of two or more parallel partially cylindrical jacket shells 1 , the ends of which are closed with bottoms 2 consisting of bottom shells. The transition area between the bottom shells 3 and the shells 1 is closed with curved gusset elements 5 . The compressive strength is achieved in this area via flat rib elements 10 penetrating the interior of the tank. At the same time, the rib elements 10 , if necessary in conjunction with a pulling wall 4 dividing the container in the longitudinal direction, considerably reduce the gushing effects longitudinally and transversely to the direction of travel even when the container is partially filled.
