Definitions

  • the invention describes a tank with a filling and emptying device arranged at the top.
  • the invention is suitable for tanks, in particular for tank wagons, in which liquids are transported.
  • Tank wagons in which the liquids are introduced into or removed from the tank via the dome can be retrofitted with the essential parts of the device according to the invention.
  • tanks of tank wagons are generally filled from above.
  • the cathedral serves as the filling opening.
  • the filling systems are either equipped with swiveling filling hoses, filling arms or with motor-driven single-tube filling systems.
  • An advantage of the solution according to the invention is that conventional tank wagons in which the dome served as the filling opening can be retrofitted with the device according to the invention, so that the disadvantages of the prior art are avoided.
  • a filling pipe with a gas-tight filling and emptying nozzle arranged at the top projects into the tank.
  • a diffuser with outlet openings, which prevents the liquid to be filled from impinging the tank bottom at an unfavorable flow rate and with an excessively high inlet speed. It is advantageous to arrange the outlet openings of the diffuser laterally.
  • the free cross section of all outlet openings should be at least equal to the cross section of the filling pipe.
  • the shapes of the outlet openings are freely selectable. Elongated holes are advantageous for manufacturing reasons.
  • the diffuser has an angle of between 90 and 120 degrees.
  • the diffuser can also have a shape that deviates from the cone shape, for example an ellipsoidal shape.
  • the filling and emptying device can be located anywhere on the top of the tank, but it is a good idea for tank wagons with a dome to place this device on the dome of the tank. If the filling and emptying device is located at another point in the tank, the dome can be used as an access opening. This can also be done by removing the device according to the invention from the dome.
  • the device according to the invention is to be placed on the dome so that there is a gas-tight seal. It has proven to be advantageous to arrange the straight filler pipe in the middle of the tank. If the device is to be emptied as completely as possible by means of the device, it is advantageous if there is a depression under the filling pipe in the tank bottom. Furthermore, it is advantageous to arrange at least one device for ventilation of the tank.
  • devices for measuring and / or regulating the fill level are located in or on the tank.
  • FIG. 1 shows a tank car with a tank 1 with a filling and emptying device according to the invention, the filling pipe 4 of which is arranged in the dome 2.
  • the details of the dome 2 from Figure 1 are shown in Figure 3.
  • the dome 2 was closed with a special dome cover 3, in which there is a filling pipe 4, at the upper end of which there is a filling and emptying nozzle 8.
  • Four folding screws 4 are used to close the dome cover 2 with the special dome cover 3.
  • Openings 14 are provided in the filling pipe 4 for the liquid to flow out of the filling pipe 4. In the case shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 4 shows the coupling part of the system-side filling device in different views, wherein a lift loop 15 is arranged for convenient handling of the coupling part with hose.
  • FIG. 2 shows a tank 1 with a dome, which serves as a manhole and a filling pipe 4, which is arranged directly next to it.
  • a probe for residual quantity measurement 10 was arranged at this point in the tank.
  • a probe for regulating shutdown 11, an overfill protection 12 and gas pendulum connection 9 are located on the tank.
  • the closure of the dry clutch with flame arrester is removed first and then the gas pendulum connector 9 with hose or swivel arm of the filling system.
  • the internal cones of both coupling parts are automatically opened, which means that pressure compensation between boiler 1 and this system takes place. It is important to establish this gas pendulum connection first when loading and unloading.
  • the coupling part 16 of the filling or emptying device with hose, swivel arm or filling arm is connected to the dry coupling of the filling and emptying nozzle 8.
  • the internal locking cones of both coupling parts are opened automatically, after which the vehicle can be filled or emptied.
  • This system works completely closed, there is no need to release the tank 1 into the atmosphere by opening the dome cover. Conventional forced ventilation and gas exchange are also eliminated.
  • the dome cover does not need to be opened except for inspection purposes.
  • Monitoring elements 11, 12, 10 were advantageously installed so that controls by personnel can be restricted. With the aid of these monitoring elements, the unit for filling or emptying can be automatically released or switched off when the tank is full or emptied.
