Definitions
- the invention relates to a tank for flammable liquids and gases for use as a vehicle fuel reservoir, with a tank container which is equipped with a number of thermal pressure relief valves in the event of a fire.
- Vehicles for passenger transport in particular rail vehicles and buses, are known which are equipped with tanks for flammable liquids and/or gases to supply them with energy.
- rail vehicles that are powered by hydrogen are already in use in passenger transport. This hydrogen is typically located in a fuel tank container on a roof side of the vehicle.
- thermal pressure relief valves Thermal and Pressure Relief Device
- EC79 Thermal and Pressure Relief Device
- This protection concept is based on a so-called Crib fire according to EC79, in which it is proven that the tank container will not burst during this specific fire attack or that the pressure will be reduced by blowing off the fuel before the tank container bursts.
- the invention is based on the object of further developing a tank of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it has thermal protection that also takes larger fire incidents into account.
- the tank described at the outset is characterized in that the tank container is equipped on its outside with a fire protection lining, the contour of which is adapted to an envelope surface of the tank container.
- the aforementioned fire protection cladding ensures that the tank for flammable liquids and/or gases itself has the necessary protective devices, so that larger fire incidents, such as those defined in ISO834-1, for example, are taken into account. On the vehicle side, thermal protection measures are still in small scale required.
- the tank itself is preferably already equipped with all the protective devices that enable it to be used in the vehicle in question.
- the fire protection cladding can be made of steel and/or aluminum, which is equipped with a fire protection coating or temperature-resistant thermal insulation materials and has a predetermined fire resistance.
- the fire protection cladding it is also possible for the fire protection cladding to be formed from glass-fibre-reinforced plastic panels, which in turn have a predetermined fire resistance.
- the "specified fire resistance” is measured according to the fire scenario, which is to be counteracted with the help of the fire protection cladding.
- the fire resistance requirements are based on predefined necessary periods of time until the safe evacuation of people in the vehicle or the arrival
- the criteria to be taken into account here are, in addition to a space integrity criterion "E” (e.g. according to EN 13501-2), the thermal insulation criterion “I” and, if necessary, the thermal radiation criterion "W” (both according to EN 13501-2) .
- the application of the fire protection cladding limits the entry of temperature and/or entry of thermal radiation into the tank for a period of time to be defined, so that the tank does not reach a critical temperature range that could lead to its bursting.
- At least one of the thermal relief valves is preferably integrated into a tank outlet valve of the tank.
- the tank container can preferably have a right-angled base and two opposite end faces, with a central part of the tank container located between the end faces being free of thermal pressure relief valves and only the central part of the tank container ters is covered with fire protection cladding.
- the so-called required there are Saving central TPRDs, typically provided at regular intervals along the tank. This makes it possible to minimize the number of TPRDs required and their associated piping and to protect against mechanical influences.
- the associated piping for a thermal pressure relief valve typically includes a fusible pipe, which is pressurized with a gas whose pressure is measured slightly higher than the pressure inside the tank container.
- the fire protection lining can have an expansion at least at a certain position, and at this position one of the thermal pressure relief valves can be arranged. This position is preferably determined by fire simulation calculations.
- the tank container has a right-angled base and two opposite end faces, with one of the end faces of the tank container being free of pressure relief valves and covered with a fire protection cladding, a central part of the tank container located between the end faces covered with fire protection cladding is and in the middle part one of the thermal pressure relief valves is arranged in a recess of the fire protection lining.
- only one end face of the tank container is equipped with the thermal pressure relief valves, with this end face not having any fire protection lining.
- a remaining peripheral surface of the tank container is covered with fire protection cladding, with the exception of the area of the recess in which one of the thermal pressure relief valves is arranged.
- This embodiment is characterized in that only a comparatively small number of pressure relief valves is required.
- the base of the tank container is trapezoidal, while retaining the other features of the invention, in particular the arrangement of the fire protection paneling and the thermal pressure relief valves.
- the tank container can be designed in several parts and have a number of tank cylinders of the same length which are arranged parallel to one another and whose end faces are each arranged in a common plane.
- Each of these tank cylinders can then be equipped with thermal pressure relief valves in the manner described above in the description of the tank.
- Figure 1 is a schematic, perspective view of a tank container without paneling
- Figure 2 is a schematic plan view of a tank for flammable liquids or gases in a first embodiment form
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic plan view of a tank for flammable liquids or gases in a second embodiment.
- FIG. 1 shows a tank container 1, which is built in the illustrated embodiment of four parallel tank cylinders 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D.
- the two inner tank cylinders 2B, 2C have a larger diameter than the outer tank cylinders 2A, 2D.
- the tank cylinders 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D are mounted in a tank rack 3, so that the tank rack 3 serves as a support frame for the tank cylinders 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D.
- the tank container 1 has a right-angled. At the respective corners of this base area, the tank rack 3 is equipped with holding lugs 4 which, for example, allow the tank rack 3 to be screwed onto a roof of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle.
- the tank container 1 has two opposite end faces 5, each of which is defined by the end faces of the tank cylinders 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D lying in a common plane. On one end face 5 of the tank container 1 are the end faces of the tank cylinders 2A, 2B, 2C , 2D equipped with exhaust valves 6 . Thermal relief valves (TPRD) are integrated into the tank outlet valves 6
- FIG. 2 shows a top view of a tank for combustible liquids and/or gases equipped with the tank container 1 for use in a fuel reservoir of a vehicle. It can be seen that the part of the tank container 1 located between the end faces 5 is equipped with a fire protection paneling 7 from the outside.
- the fire protection paneling 7 can be fastened to the tank rack 3 by means of screw, rivet or welded connections, for example.
- the fire protection cladding 7 can be formed from steel or aluminum sheets, which is equipped with a fire protection coating or temperature-resistant thermal materials and has a predetermined fire resistance. As an alternative to this, it is possible for the fire protection cladding to be formed from glass-fibre-reinforced plastic panels which have a predetermined fire resistance.
- the thermal insulation materials used should be procured fen, depends on, for example, for what period of time they should prevent the tank 1 from bursting in which fire scenario.
- a bottom side of the tank 1 facing a vehicle roof is also equipped with the fire protection lining 7 . This measure should only be taken if necessary to ensure the fire protection properties that can be achieved.
- both end faces 5 are equipped with tank outlet valves 6 in which thermal pressure development valves are integrated.
- Any thermal pressure relief valves required in the prior art in the area of the tank 1 between the end faces 5 can be dispensed with in this exemplary embodiment.
- a total of 8 thermal pressure development valves are required in the example.
- FIG. 3 shows another exemplary embodiment of a tank for flammable liquids and gases for use as a fuel reservoir in a vehicle, which differs from that of FIG.
- the tank container 1 corresponds to demj enigen, which is based on FIG. 1 has been explained.
- only one of the two end faces 5 is equipped with thermal pressure relief valves, i. H . on this end face 5 there are four thermal pressure relief valves, one for each of the tank cylinders 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D.
