The invention relates to the storage of volatile liquid in tanks.

The aim of the invention is to reduce evaporation losses during storage of highly evaporated liquid.

The design of the elements of the proposed device makes it possible to create conditions that make it possible to control the temperature conditions inside the tank, depending on the intensity of solar energy.

FIG. 1 shows the coating, a general view, in the first position; in fig. 2 - the same, in the second position; in fig. 3 - the same, in isometry.

The coating of the storage tank for highly evaporating liquids contains elastic sheath 1 made in the form of corrugations, layer 2 reflecting solar energy, layer 3 absorbing solar energy, bar elements 4 placed in an elastic shell and made of a material with a shape memory effect.

The elastic sheath 1 can be made, for example, from a non-combustible elastic polymer,

As layers, reflecting and absorbing solar energy, white and black inks can be used. These layers are alternately placed on the protrusions and depressions of the corrugations in such a way that they form, when inverting, solid surfaces of black and white color.

The bar elements 4 are a mechanism that turns and holds the casing 1 in two positions in an automatic mode. As a material for bar elements, an alloy with a shape memory effect can be used.

The coating of the reservoir for storing volatile liquid works as follows.

The coating is secured to the body of the storage tank for highly evaporating liquid. If the ambient temperature is below +30 ° C, during the phase transition of the rod material

elements A, for example equal to +35 C, the rod elements 4 take the first position ,. corrugated elastic sheath 1 in such a way that the black, not glossy paint forms a continuous surface and thus ensures minimal heat transfer from the reservoir.i

If the temperature of the material of the bar elements 4 exceeds +35 C, the bar elements 4 occupy the second position, rotating the elastic sheath 1 so that the solid surface forms a shiny white paint that reflects the incoming solar energy, thereby reducing the solar energy flow to the reservoir .

Due to such provisions of the elastic sheath, a sharp difference in temperature of the gas mixture in the tank is excluded, which leads to a decrease in

loss of stored fluid through evaporation when breathing.

In addition, the corrugated form of the elastic shell 1 has cavities formed by corrugations, the presence of which increases the protective characteristics of the proposed coating.
