Abstract
The improved double-walled transport container for transporting liquids and gases which have to be protected against heating or cooling and against mechanical shock, has a fully insulated inner vessel and an outer vessel comprising an upper shell, a lower shell and two dished endwalls. A shock-absorbing and thermally insulating layer is provided between the outer and the inner vessel, and support flanges extend over the entire length of the outer vessel. The sum of the distances between the endwalls of the inner and the outer vessel is at least equal to the distance of the crest of the arch from the edge of an endwall of the outer vessel.
Claims21
A double-wallet transport container for flowable media, comprising a prismatic framework having corner fittings for stacking and hoisting the container and saddle members arranged in at least the lower corner regions of the latter;
- a substantially cylindrical pressure-proof receptacle;
- support flanges applied to the outer sides of the latter, said support flanges extending longitudinally and being secured to the saddle members, the receptacle comprising an inner vessel, an outer vessel, said outer vessel comprising an upper shell, a lower shell and two dome-shaped endwalls which are formed as one piece with the lower shell, and a shock-absorbing and thermally insulating layer between the outer and the inner vessel, the support flanges being so constructed that they extend over the entire length of the outer vessel and the sum of the distances between the endwalls of the inner and the outer vessel being at least equal to the distance, measured in the axial direction of the receptacle, from the crest of the dome-shape to the edge of an endwall of the outer vessel.
A double-walled transport container for flowable media, comprising a pressure-proof receptacle;
- the receptacle comprising an inner vessel, an outer vessel, said outer vessel comprising an upper shell, a lower shell and two dome-shaped endwalls formed as one piece with the lower shell, and a shock-absorbing and thermally insulating layer between the outer and the inner vessel.
A double-walled transport container for flowable media, comprising a prismatic lattice frame having corner fittings for stacking and hoisting the container and saddle members arranged in at least the lower corner regions of the latter;
- a substantially cylindrical pressure-proof receptacle;
- support flanges applied to the outer sides of the latter, said support flanges extending longitudinally and being secured to the saddle members, the receptacle comprising an inner vessel, an outer vessel, said outer vessel comprising an upper shell, a lower shell and two dome-shaped endwalls, and a shock-absorbing and thermally insulating layer between the outer and the inner vessel, the support flanges being so constructed that they extend over the entire length of the outer vessel and the sum of the distances between the endwalls of the inner and the outer vessel being at least equal to the distance, measured in the axial direction of the receptacle, from the crest of the dome-shape to the edge of an endwall of the outer vessel wherein an endwall of the outer vessel has a cut-out portion at its upper end and a cap secured to the upper shell of the outer vessel is provided to cover said portion.
A double-walled transport container for flowable media, comprising a prismatic lattice frame having corner fittings for stacking and hoisting the container and saddle members arranged in at least the lower corner regions of the latter;
- a substantially cylindrical pressure-proof receptacle;
- support flanges applied to the outer sides of the latter, said support flanges extending longitudinally and being secured to the saddle members, the receptacle comprising an inner vessel, an outer vessel, said outer vessel comprising an upper shell, a lower shell and two dome-shaped endwalls, and a shock-absorbing and thermally insulating layer between the outer and the inner vessel, the support flanges being so constructed that they extend over the entire length of the outer vessel and the sum of the distances between the endwalls of the inner and the outer vessel being at least equal to the distance, measured in the axial direction of the receptacle, from the crest of the dome-shape to the edge of an endwall of the outer vessel and having oblique transition elements between the lower shell and the endwall of said outer vessel.
