Temperature-controlled tank container

A temperature-controlled tank container comprising

• a tank mounted in a container framework, the casing of said tank consisting of a cylindrical shell with tank fittings provided at the vertex thereof and two bottom members,
• a heat-insulating jacket surrounding the tank casing on all sides with a spacing therebetween which is substantially constant throughout, and having two portholes formed at one end thereof on top of each other for the entry and exit of a temperature-control medium, and
• partitions disposed between the tank casing and the insulating jacket and comprising a plurality of partition rings surrounding the tank casing in radial planes and two partition webs extending in parallel on either side of a vertex line of the tank, said partition rings and webs, by way of through-holes formed in said partition rings, defining compartments which communicate with each other such that the temperature-control medium flows in one direction along the entire length of the tank through a vertex channel surrounding the tank fittings and in the other direction along a meandering path which passes over all remaining area of the tank casing.
