  • Publication number: 20190368659
    Abstract: A dual-wall, vacuum-insulated container (30, 40) has an external wall (1), an internal wall (3) and there in-between a vacuum chamber (5), in which there is arranged a heat insulation device (2, 20). At least three temperature sensors (13, 13a, 13b, 14, 15) that are spaced apart from another recurringly register instantaneous temperatures (T1, T2, T2A, T2B, T3) of the container (30, 40). At least in some points there is calculated a temperature course using a heat insulation model on the basis of the construction and material characteristics of the container and the heat radiation resulting therefrom, which temperature course contains at least two of the temperatures (T1, T2, T2A, T2B, T3) registered. From the temperature course there is calculated a desired temperature value for the position of at least one further of the temperature sensors and compared with the actual temperature value actually registered by this temperature sensor.

  • Publication number: 20190178444
    Abstract: Suspension system for an inner container mounted for thermal insulation in an outer container. Rod-shaped fixed bearing securing elements of a fixed bearing system engage the outer container and the inner container and can be stressed in tension and compression. Fixed bearing securing elements engage the inner container while being arranged so as to be distributed in an annular installation space between the inner container and outer container, and they engage the outer container while being distributed in the annular installation space. A floating bearing system with a floating bearing ring and annularly distributed floating bearing securing elements can be arranged in the outer container to support the inner container. The floating bearing securing elements can be stressed in tension by tension springs and/or in compression by compression springs and engage the floating bearing ring and the inner container or the outer container.

  • Publication number: 20180274729
    Abstract: An overfill protection means for storing liquefied gases in a tank container, comprising a housing into which the filling line runs for filling the tank container, a closure which is arranged so as to be movable between a closing position preventing filling and an open position releasing filling, and a float, which float is coupled to a trigger mechanism. The trigger mechanism is movable by the float between an engaged position and a release position depending on the liquid level in the tank container, wherein, in the engaged position, the trigger mechanism engages the closure and keeps the closure in the open position, while being supported on the housing, and wherein, in the release position, the trigger mechanism releases the closure, whereby the closure is movable into the closing position by the flowing liquefied gas.
