Abstract
A temperable container with a heat-insulating jacket completely enclosing a tank supported in the container with predetermined passages between the tank and the jacket for conducting a heat transfer medium in forced circulation around the entire outer surface of the tank. An inlet and outlet pass through the jacket to connect to external equipment for supplying the heat transfer medium, and to avoid a short circuit flow from inlet to outlet a partition is provided in the container and has at least one throttleable bypass opening the throttle position of which can be adjusted by a programmable control.
Claims19
Temperable tank container comprising:
- a support frame including a heat-insulating jacket at its outer side and having standardised external dimensions of a container for supporting an inner tank so that the outer wall of the tank is spaced from said heat-insulating jacket to provide passages between the tank wall and heat-insulating jacket for conducting a heat transfer medium in forced circulation along the tank wall serving as heat-exchange surface,
- said heat-insulating jacket being disposed to encompass said tank and being spaced at end walls of the support frame from the tank wall to form further passages connected in such a manner with the first mentioned passages that said medium sweeps round the entire free outer surface of the tank wall,
- characterised in that the intermediate space between the heat-insulating jacket and the tank wall is divided at least in a horizontal plane over the entire tank length, and that beneath said plane at least one passage with the flow of said medium in one direction is provided and above said plane at least one other passage with flow of said medium in the opposite direction is provided.
Temperable tank container comprising:
- a support frame including a heat-insulating jacket at its outer side and having standardised external dimensions of a container for supporting an inner tank so that the outer wall of the tank is spaced from said heat-insulating jacket to provide passages between the tank wall and heat-insulating jacket for conducting a heat transfer medium in forced circulation along the tank wall serving as heat-exchange surface,
- said heat-insulating jacket being disposed to encompass said tank and being spaced at end walls of the support frame from the tank wall to form further passages connected in such a manner with the first mentioned passages that said medium sweeps round the entire free outer surface of the tank wall,
- characterised in that at preferably one end wall of the tank container an inlet and outlet passing through the heat-insulating jacket are provided for connection to an external supply means for said medium, and
- being further characterised in that to avoid a short-circuit flow connection between the inlet and the outlet a partition is provided which has at least one throttlable bypass opening.
A container for containing a tank of the type having a plurality of fittings providing for access to the tank interior, comprising:
- a support frame including a heat-insulating jacket at its outer side and having standardised external dimensins of a container for internally supporting said tank so that the outer wall of the tank is spaced from said heat-insulating jacket to provide passages between the tank wall and heat-insulating jacket for conducting a heat transfer medium in forced circulation along the tank wall serving as heat-exchange surface,
- said heat-insulating jacket being disposed to encompass said tank and its said fittings and being spaced at end walls of the support frame from the tank wall to form further passages connected in such a manner with the first mentioned passages that said medium sweeps round the entire free outer surface of the tank wall.
