  • FLUID STORAGE CONTAINER This invention is directed to an improved fluid storage container having a counterweighted piston therein, and more specifically to a fluid storage container wherein the counterweight mechanism is connected to the piston through a focal point located vertically above and in vertical alignment with the center of the piston.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a fluid storage container of the type set forth wherein the connection between the piston and the counterweight mechanism is three cables of equal length each being connected at one end thereof to the periphery of the piston at equidistant intervals from the other of the cables.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a fluid storage container of the type set forth wherein the counterweight mechanism is housed within and guided by a guide positioned on the outside of the storage container to provide an indication of the amount of fluid stored therewithin.
  • FIG. 1 is a side-sectional view of the fluid storage container embodying the present invention with portions thereof shown in elevation; 7
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the fluid storage container shown in FIG. 1 taken along lines 22 thereof;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged elevational view of the sheaves employed with the present invention.
  • a fluid storage tank 100 including a cylindrical side wall 101 being closed at the bottom end thereof by a bottom wall 102 and closed at the top thereof by a conically or dome shaped top wall 103.
  • the top wall 103 is provided with a housing 105 including an upstanding side wall 106 integral with the conical top wall 103.
  • the side wall 106 of the housing 105 has an aperture 107 therein and is closed at the top thereof by a roof structure 108.
  • the side wall 101 of the fluid storage tank 100 is provided with spaced-apart side vents l 12 and l 13, as seen in the left-hand portion of FIG. 1, which vents 112 and 113 provide communication between the atmosphere and the inside of the storage tank 100.
  • the fluid storage tank is further provided with an aperture 115 near the bottom wall 102, which aperture 115 receives therein a condensate drain pipe 120, the condensate drain pipe being provided with a valve (not shown) so as to maintain the fluid-tight integrity of the fluid storage tank 100.
  • the fluid storage tank 100 and particularly the side wall 101 thereof, is further provided with an aperture near the bottom wall 102, which aperture is connected by means of a collar 126 to an inlet-outlet pipe 130.
  • the collar 126 provides a fluid-tight connection between the fluid storage tank 100 and the inlet-outlet pipe 130, which pipe 130 is provided with an upstanding stack 131 having a vent structure 132 at the top thereof connected to the stack 131 at a flange 133 provided with the usual rivets.
  • the vent structure 132 is normally closed but will open if a predetermined pressure in the tank 100 is exceeded.
  • the fluid storage tank 100 is further provided with a piston 135 housed within the side wall 101 of the tank 100.
  • the piston 135 is formed of a conical or dome shaped sheet 136 having an apex 137.
  • the periphery of the piston 135 is provided with an upstanding flange 140 which is provided at the distal end thereof with an inturned flange 141.
  • the piston 135, the upstanding flange 140 and the inturned flange 141' may be formed of an integral piece of material.
  • a seal 145 is provided in the form of a cylindrical section, which seal 145 is flexible and impervious to the fluid to be stored.
  • the seal 145 is provided with an end 146 which is securely fastened between the inturned flange 141 and a circular flange 150 coterminous with the flange 141 and securely fastened thereto by means of fasteners 151 extending 7 through the flanges at spaced apart intervals circumferentially around the flanges.
  • the seal 145 has the other end 147 thereof securely fastened between flanges 155 and 156, which flanges 155 and 156 are securely connected to the side wall 101 of the fluid storage tank 100 and extend circumferentially therearound. It is seen, therefore, that the seal 145 is sealingly connected at one end-thereof to the piston 135 and at the other end thereof to the side wall 101 of the fluid storage tank 100.
  • a counterweight mechanism 160 includes a counterweight slidably positioned'within a guide 1 70.
  • the guide includes a front wall 171, a back wall 172 and side walls 173 interconnecting the front wall-and the back wall.
  • the back wall 172 is fixedly connected to the side wall 101 of the fluid storage tank 100, such as by welding.
  • the front wall 171 of the guide 170 is provided with an elongated slot 175 which receives therein a level indicator 176 fixedly connected to the counterweight 165.
  • each of the cables 180 being connected at one end thereof to the counterweight 165.
  • a triple sheave is rotatably mounted'on an axle 186 supported between two mounting plates 187, the mounting plates 187 being positioned on the top wall 103 of the fluid storage tank 100 near the side wall 101 so'as to provide a substantially vertical path for the cables 180 passing over the sheave 185 to the counterweight 165.
  • Another triple sheave 190 is positioned within the housing 105 and mounted for rotation about an axle 191 fixedly mounted to the side wall 106 of the housing 105.
  • the sheave 190 is positioned so that the initial point of contact between the cables 180 and the sheave 190 is located vertically above and in vertical alignment with the center of the piston 135 as denoted by the apex 137. Slightly below the sheave 190 are positioned three individual single sheaves 195, each being mounted for rotation about an axle 196, which axle 196 is fixedly mounted to the housing 105. Each of the sheaves 195 is angularly placed so as to guide the associated one of the cables 180 in its path from the sheave 190 to a gusset plate 200 fixedly connected to the pe riphery of the piston 135 and provided with an aperture 201 to receive therein the associated cable 180. The gusset plates 200 are angularly separated by 120 so as to provide three points of support for the piston 135, each of the points of support being equidistant from the other two points of support.
  • Each of the cables 180 extends from the respective gusset plate 200 upwardly to the associated single sheave 195 and thereafter to the triple sheave 190 out of the housing 105 through the aperture 107-to the sheave 185 and finally to the counterweight 165.
  • the counterweight 165 is of sufficient mass substantially to offset the weight of the piston 135 so that fluid entering the inlet-outlet pipe 130 will move the piston 135 vertically upwardly in the tank 100 with a corresponding downward movement of the counterweight 165, the level indicator 176 moving therewith in the slot 175 to provide an indication of the amount of fluid within the tank 100.
  • the piston 135 is shown in full line at the bottom of the fluid storage tank 100 wherein the piston 135 and particularly the edges of the piston 135 are in contact with the bottom wall 102 of the tank 100. In this position there is substantially no fluid in the area between the seal 145 and the adjacent wall 101, which area is a fluid-tight area due to the presence of the seals 155 and 156 sealing the end 147 of the seal 145 to the side wall 101 and the presence of the flanges 150 and 141 sealing the other end 146 of the seal 145 therebetween. As fluid enters the inlet-outlet pipe 130, the piston is forced upwardly to the phantom line position thereof shown in FIG.
  • the level of the piston 135 within the tank 100 is easily determined by the position of the level indicator 176 which is attached to the counterweight 165 and moves therewith.
  • lndicia (not shown) provided on the front wall 171 of the guide 170 serves to indicate the position of the piston 135 within the tank 100.
  • each of the cables 180 is gathered at an area substantially in vertical alignment with the center of the piston 135, as by the single sheaves 195, the piston 13S moves from its full line position in FIG. 1 to its phantom line position therein without undue tilting thereof or movement from the center of the tank 100. Since the present arrangement of the cables 180 provides both the raising and centering function for the piston 135, internal structure for centering the piston is not needed thereby increasing the useful storage area of the tank to about 85% of the total volume of the tank 100. As may be seen, the sum of the vector forces on each of the cables 180 is equal to one-third of the counterweight 165 when the piston is in equilibrium.
  • any one of the cables 180 may range from one-third the weight of the counterweight to the entire weight of the counterweight 165, there is provided sufficient force within the system for maintaining the piston 135 in the proper attitude as it moves vertically of the tank 100.
  • the fluid storage tank of the present invention is particularly adaptable to handle petrochemical or petroleum vapors generated as a result of evaporation in liquid storage tanks or through liquid transfer operations.
  • the fluid storage container 100 is particularly suitable for storing the vapor prior to the recondensation thereof, which storage also prevents environmental pollution. While the fluid storage container of the present invention is primarily intended to store vapors, condensation of some of the vapors may occur due to change in temperature or pressure within the tank 100. To that end, there is provided the condensate outlet 120 which may be used to remove any of the condensed vapors in the tank.
  • One or more limit switches may be activated by the counterweight 165 automatically to effect withdrawal of vapors stored in the tank 100 when the piston 13S reaches a predetermined position.
  • the seal 145 may be made of any art recognized material, such as Buna-N rubber or various cloth materials coated with a suitable synthetic organic resin, such as a nylon or polyester cloth coated at least on one side with a natural or synthetic rubber or a polyvinyl chloride synthetic organic resin.
  • a suitable synthetic organic resin such as a nylon or polyester cloth coated at least on one side with a natural or synthetic rubber or a polyvinyl chloride synthetic organic resin.
  • the important properties of the seal 145 are that it be impervious to the fluid being stored and that it be flexible so as to move between the full line position and the phantom line position thereof shown in FIG. 1 without cracking and that it be chemically inert to the fluid being stored.
  • the tank 100 and piston 135 may be made of any suitable metal,
  • a fluid storage container including a cylindrical shell, a piston positioned within said cylindrical shell and vertically movable with respect thereto, a seal positioned between the periphery of said piston and said cylindrical shell in sealing engagement with said piston and said cylindrical shell to provide a fluid-tight storage area within a portion of said cylindrical shell, a fluid inlet in communication with said storage area for admitting fluid thereinto, and a counterweight mechanism connected to said piston for substantially counterbalancing the weight of said piston and for maintaining said piston centrally positioned within said cylindrical shell during vertical movement of said piston therewithin, said counterweight mechanism being connected to said piston by at least three flexible cables of equal length each connected at one end thereof to the periphery of said piston at equidistant intervals from the others of said flexible cables and extending through a vertically fixed member located vertically above and in vertical alignment with the center of said piston, whereby entrance of fluid into said storage area through said fliud inlet moves said piston vertically of said cylindrical shell.
  • a fluid storage tank including a cylindrical shell having guide structure on the outside of said shell extending a predetermined vertical distance therealong, a piston positioned within said cylindrical shell and vertically movable with respect thereto, a seal positioned between the periphery of said piston and said cylindrical shell in sealing engagement with said piston and said cylindrical shell to provide a fluid-tight storage area within a portion of said cylindrical shell, a fluid inlet in communication with said storage area for admitting fluid thereinto, and a counterweight connected to said piston for substantially counterbalancing the weight of said piston and for maintaining said piston centrally positioned within said cylindrical shell during vertical movement of said piston therewithin, said counterweight being connected to said piston by three flexible cables of equal length each connected at one end thereof to the periphery of said piston at equidistant intervals from the others of said cables and extending through a vertically fixed member located vertically above and in vertical alignment with the center of said piston, said counterweight slidably fitting within said guide mechanism and sliding therealong corresponding to different positions of said piston within
  • said guide structure is an elongated rectangular housing having internal dimensions slightly greater than the external dimensions of said counterweight, thereby to restrict lateral movement of said counterweight during vertical movement with respect to said fluid storage container.
