Gas tank - Gastank

The invention relates to a transportable gas tank and, more specifically, to a transportable gas tank, which is intended in particular for gasol and is intended to be placed on a workplace, such as a construction site, for longer or shorter periods of time, and comprises a cylindrical tank with filling pipe, outlet pipe and The tank is fixed to the transport silo, which is equipped with doors at the other end.

Dredging takes place in large quantities, mainly in the construction industry, especially during the winter. In this case, a large number of different types of gasol-fired heating devices are used.

Relatively small gasoline tanks are often used and must be changed frequently. Alternatively, large gas oil tanks can be used, from which the lines are routed to the heating equipment. One very big problem with the use of gas oil tanks on construction sites is that the installation of a gas oil tank is regulated by regulations which e.g. stipulate that the gas tank must be equipped with an overrun protection and 25 guards against falling objects. Still keep the gas storage tank locked. Due to this, it is quite expensive to place a gas tank on the construction site. The option of using small gas canisters is also expensive because it requires a relatively large number of staff.

30

Also in sectors other than the construction industry, which use large quantities of gasol, obtaining gasol is a problem. One such area is road paving. The coating machines are gasoline heated. Due to the fact that the gas oil 35 must not be stored other than as stated above, the coating machines are equipped with tanks so large that one refueling of the gas oil is sufficient for one shift. As a result, the machines must be refueled with gas oil before the start of each shift 2 92757. As a result, refueling is often done from Yoai-kaan tankers, who often have to drive long distances from the depot to where the machines are.

The object of the invention eliminates the difficulties involved in obtaining gasol when using large quantities of gasol. The gas tank according to the invention is mainly known from the features set forth in the characterizing part of claim 1.

The invention thus relates to a portable gas tank, in particular for gasol, intended to be placed on a work site, such as a construction site, for longer or shorter periods, comprising a known cylindrical tank with a filling hose, a drain hose and an overpressure valve. characterized in that said gas tank is fixedly mounted in a cargo tank having doors at one end, such that the piping including the sprinkler nozzle is in a tank whose piping connection pipes pass through the walls of the tank and one of which is connected said overpressure valve through the wall of the silo so that it descends outside the silo.

The invention is described in more detail below in connection with an embodiment of the invention according to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a side view of a device according to the invention.

Figure 1 shows a side view of a transportable gas tank 30 according to the invention, which is intended especially for gasol. The transportable gas tank comprises a known cylindrical tank 1 provided with a filling pipe 2, an outlet pipe 3 and an overpressure valve 4. This cylindrical tank is in fact of a known type.

35

According to the invention, the gas tank 1 is arranged in a fixed manner in a steel cargo tank 66. The tank 6 is conventionally provided at one end with lockable

3 92757 with doors 6. Figure 1 shows a side view from which the viewer on the side wall of the tank at a low price has been removed. A 20-foot tank is best suited as a tank, but of course a larger tank can also be used.

5

The tank 1 is preferably fixed relative to the silo by a wire 12, 13 or a belt extending from the floor 14 of the silo over the tank and down to the floor to the other side of the tank. As a result, the tank can be easily switched off and taken out of the tank for repair or maintenance.

The container has a piping 7 which includes sprinkler nozzles 8. The connecting pipe 9 of the piping 7 passes through the wall 10 of the container, so that the connecting socket 11 of the connecting pipe 9 is located outside the container 15. This piping is intended to be connected to a water source, such as a water source for fire hoses. In the event of a fire or due to the risk of fire, the piping 7 is supplied with water flowing from the nozzles 8, which extinguishes the fire and cools the tank. The piping is best suited for 20 containers installed permanently.

Further, one pipe 15 of said overpressure valve 4 passes through the wall of the container so that it descends outside the container. This prevents gasoline from leaking into the 25 silos due to the overpressure in the tank. Preferably, the pipe · '15 passes through the roof 16 of the container in which the pipe is attached. The tube includes a flexible portion 17 consisting of, for example, a hose, allowing a certain relative movement between the tank and the container.

30

According to the mile shown, a hose 18 or the like passes through the outlet pipe of the tank to the opposite end 10 of the doors 6 inside the container. The hose 18 passes to the heating mechanism 19 for heating the gasoline 35. With this function, as a result of which the steel wall separates the tank space from the heating equipment 19, it is permitted to place the electric heating equipment close to the tanks. A hose is connected to the heating system 19 at the user's 4 92757 le. In the event that it is not necessary to heat the gasol, the hose can be connected directly to another hose, which is within the reach of the user, via an unassigned connection.

In addition to the present invention, there is a control device which is mounted in such a way that one of said shut-off valves 20 in the discharge pipes 3, located inside the container, can be closed from outside the container. According to the model not shown-10, the control device consists of a cable which passes out of the handle 21 of the shut-off valve through the second wall of the container, where the cable is attached to the handle. When the handle is pulled and thus also from the cable, the handle does not protrude half a turn forward, which corresponds to the transition of the 15 handles from the closed state of the valve to the open state. Thus, the gasoline supply of the heater or the user can be cut off without anyone having to go inside the silo. However, it is not possible to open the said valve with the control device.

20

By placing the gas tank in the cargo tank, a simple transportable device is obtained, in which the tank forms both an overrun protection and protection against falling objects. In addition, the tank can be kept locked. In addition, the heating system can be connected to the tank.

The present invention thus eliminates the disadvantages mentioned at the outset.

30 One embodiment is described above. However, the invention may be modified. For example, both the piping 7 and the pipe 17 as well as the connection between the tank and the heating system or alternatively between the user can be made in another way without abandoning the described operation.

35

Thus, the present invention cannot be considered limited to the indicated embodiment, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims.
