Abstract: The present invention relates to a pump assembly (5) for a supply unit, in particular a tank container (1), comprising: a pump line (51; 51r, l) for conveying a liquid medium between a container (3) and a removal connection, a pump (55) arranged in the pump line (51), and a feed connection (58), which is connected to the pump line (51) via two connecting lines (57). Here the pump (55) acts between the two connecting points (57a) of the connecting lines (57) in the pump line (51). The medium can therefore be delivered as desired directly by the pump (55) between the feed connection (58) and the container (3), between the container (3) and the removal connection (52), or between the feed connection (58) and the removal connection (52). The invention further relates to a fuel supply unit having a pump assembly (5) according to the invention and a container (3).
Abstract: The present invention relates to a container arrangement having a frame (4) supporting a tank (2) and an equipment compartment (3), whereby the equipment compartment (3) is accessible by means of a closeable aperture (9) arranged in an exterior wall (5) of the equipment compartment and whereby the exterior wall (5) is connected with the container frame (12?, 12?, 13) in a demountable fashion. The frame (4) may be composed of frame modules (4?, 4?, 4??), which are solidly interconnected by means of detachable coupling elements (41).
Abstract: A pressure-proof tank for a transport container has an envelope formed by two or more parallel part-cylindrical envelope shells 1, the ends of which are closed by bottoms 2 formed of bottom shells 3. The transition region between the bottom and envelope shells 2, 3, is closed by curved gusset elements 5. The pressure resistance in this transition region is improved by planar rib elements 10 extending through the interior of the tank. The rib elements 10 cooperate with a tension wall 4, which divides the tank in the longitudinal direction, to reduce the effect of surges acting in the transport direction, especially when the tank is partially filled.
