ASPHALT STORAGE TANK WITH INERT GAS SEAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to the storage of heated liquid asphalt and more particularly tanks incorporating heating means and means for introducing inert gas and maintaining the same to prevent vaporization of the volatile constituents of the heated asphalt.
2. Description of the Prior Art No prior art is known wherein liquid asphalt may be simultaneously stored and maintained in an emission free state by the presence of a low pressure inert gas barrier layer provided in the storage tank. Inert gas seals have been used with respect to asphalt containing paving mixes including various sized aggegates and fines" and the like such as disclosed in US. Pat. Nos. 3,348,739 and 3,532,252. These prior art devices rely on mechanical seals for maintaining the inert gas and are not used in connection with the heated storage of liquid asphalt as in the case of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A storage tank incorporating integral heating means for storing andmaintaining liquid asphalt in a heated condition'wherein the volatile constituents thereof tend to vaporize readily, is disclosed as provided with a seal and a charge of inert gas maintained by the seal at low pressure to effectively control vaporization of the asphalt components and prevent their emission from the heated storage tank.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. I is a perspective view of the heated storage tank for liquid asphalt with parts broken away and parts in cross section.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail taken on line 22 of FIG. I and illustrating the inert gas sealing means thereof.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In the form of the invention chosen for illustration, the asphalt storage tank with inert gas seal consists of a cylindrical tank having closed ends 11, one of which is shown in FIG. I of the drawings, the tank 10 incorporating an internally extending heater tube 12 positioned inwardly of one end thereof and communicating with a suitable burner for introducing the products of combustion thereinto, not shown. The heater tube 12 is preferably'of a construction which pennits so-called direct firing of the same without the attendant build-up of coking temperatures on the surfaces thereof which would be objectionable and such devices are known in the art.
As illustrated in FIG. 1 of the drawings, liquid asphalt is present in the tank to the level A as illustrated and the area thereabove is filled with an inert gas such as nitrogen N under low pressure such as, for example, 2 ounces. The tank 10 is sealed by suitable valves on the inlet and outlet openings thereof, one of which is indicated by the numeral 13 as illustrated. Both ends of the tank are provided with access platforms and operating equipment, one of the platforms being indicated by the numeral l4. The tank 10 is preferably mounted on skids l5 rendering the same portable and in the end il- Iustrated in FIG. 1 of the drawings, is provided with a gas sealing vent device 16 communicating with the tank 10 by way of a tubular fitting and coupling 17.
The source of inert gas, such as nitrogen, is provided by a cylinder 18 positioned adjacent one end of the tank 10. and supported on one of the skids l5 and secured by a strap 19. The nitrogen cylinder 18 is provided with a regulator 20 and a pressure gauge 2] and a gas delivery tube 22 extends from the pressure regulator 20 to an upper portion of the tank 10 where it communicates with the interior thereof.
The gas sealing vent device 16 provides the only means of venting the tank 10 when it is partially filled with liquid asphalt and the same is being heated.
By referring now to FIG. 2 of the drawings an enlarged detail with parts broken away and parts in cross section and illustrating the gas sealing vent device 16 may be seen. By referring thereto it will be seen that the tubular conduit 17 which establishes commnication with the interior of the tank 10, communicates with and supports the gas sealing device 16 and more particularly one cylindrical chamber 23 thereof with which the tubular conduit 17 directly connects. The upper end of the cylindrical chamber 23 is closed as at 24 and the lower end is closed as at 25. A sight gauge including a glass tube 26 is connected with one side thereof by appropriate fittings 27 so that the level of a suitable liquid such as hydraulic oil 0 therein may be readily determined. The cylindrical chamber 23 communicates with a second cylindrical chamber 28 by way of a tubular connection 29 adjacent their lowennost ends. The second cylindrical chamber 28 has a closed lowermost end 30 and it is also provided with a sight gauge 31 connected to the interior thereof by suitable fittings 32 so that the liquid level of a suitable fluid such as oil 0 therein may be visually determined. The uppermost end of the second cylindrical chamber 28 is provided with an apertured closure 33 with the aperture communicating with an inverted U-shaped vent pipe 34, the open end of which communicates with the atmosphere.
Thoseskilled in the art will observe that when liquid asphalt in a heated state in the cylindrical tank 10 is covered by a layer of inert gas such as nitrogen, under pressure such as hereinbefore described, the volatile constituents of the liquid asphalt will be confined and varporization largely controlled and emission of any such vaporization completely controlled. The inert gas present in the upper portion of the cylindrical tank 10 communicates through the tubular means 17 with the cylindrical chamber 23 and in order to reach the atmosphere must move downwardly through the hydraulic oil 0 which is present in the lower parts of both of the cylindrical chambers23 and 28, and it must displace that hydraulic oil in order to pass the same. The amount of the oil will obviously provide the desired pressure control with respect to the nitrogen pressure desired in the cylindrical tank 10.
As illustrated in FIG. 2 of the drawings, the nitrogen pressure of approximately two ounces in the cylindrical tank 10 will result in the difference in the liquid levels of the hydraulic oil 0 in the cylindrical chambers 23 and 28 as illustrated and visual indication and determination of these levels readily indicates the satisfactory status of the nitrogen and the emission control being afforded.
It will thus be seen that an asphalt storage tank with an inert gas seal has been diclosed which is particularly suitable for storing asphalt in a heated and being heated state as it will effectively control vaporization of the volatile components thereof and stop any emission of such volatile components therefrom.
The above described structure provides a relatively inexpensive and highly dependable control means for heated asphalt and is versatile in that it may be used with various inert gases under varying pressures as may be desirable in various field applications.
Although but one embodiment of the present invention has been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention.
