20080223859 | Storage tank with inventory reduction - The disclosed floating-roof storage tank has an articulated floor with an annular outer portion, an intermediate transition portion, and a raised inner portion. Pipe elements or equipment that may hang from an outer, annular section on the roof or extend from the tank wall fit around the outside of the transition portion. Liquid-tight seams connect the transition portion of the floor to the outer portion and to the raised inner portion of the floor, sealing off an inventory-reduction compartment beneath the raised portion of the floor. The inventory-reduction compartment is supported by a solid or liquid fill or by a metal support structure. The raised inner portion of the floor may support the floating roof in a low position, and may support columns or the like that are used to support a fixed roof above the floating roof. | 09-18-2008 |
20080290095 | FUEL TANK - A fuel tank includes a tank body and a fuel inlet projecting upwardly from the tank body. A fuel cap can be removably coupled onto the fuel inlet, the fuel cap including a hollow neck portion that projects into the fuel inlet when the fuel cap is installed on the fuel inlet. A chamber in the neck portion has an opening in a lower portion of the chamber and a communicating passage in an upper portion of the chamber. The upper portion of the chamber of the neck is placed in communication with an interior of the tank body via the communicating passage when the fuel cap is installed on the fuel inlet so that the fuel level within the chamber of the neck portion and a fuel level in the tank body outside the neck portion are equalized when the fuel cap is coupled onto the fuel inlet. | 11-27-2008 |
20090308876 | Aboveground Rectangular Secondary Containment Generator Base Tank with Internal Flexible Bladder - The present invention is a containment tank or a generator set including an outer tank and an inner flexible tank that offers a storage area for diesel fuel for a diesel engine powered generator set. So that the generator set diesel engine have ready source of clean diesel fuel the inner flexible tank provides a corrosion-free storage area that will not corrode or contaminate the diesel fuel. The outer tank is designed to provide a structure that not only protects the inner tank from damage, but acts as a support structure for the diesel engine generator set and other components (enclosure, switchgear, etc.) that are needed for the generator sets protection from wind, rain or snow or to act as control devices for diesel engine generator set. Also, since the design of the inner tank is flexible, it can be replaced easily through a manway formed on the outer tank without having to disconnect or disassemble the generator set. | 12-17-2009 |
20090308877 | Emergency Relief Vent for Fuel Storage Tanks - A relief vent assembly for a fuel storage tank includes a vent body defining a chamber to provide a substantially axially smooth and unencumbered path of flow for pressurized fluid to vent out from the tank. Such a path of flow allows the pressurized fluid to remain laminar throughout approximately the entire path through the chamber, maintaining a high flow rate. The vent assembly includes a crossbar that supports the rod of a lid that covers a distal margin of the vent body. The crossbar is disposed substantially at the distal margin of the vent body to prevent any premature turbulent flow of the pressurized fluid, which would slow the flow rate. A widening tapered bore of the chamber increases the flow area and serves to offset the area occupied by the crossbar. | 12-17-2009 |
20100025409 | MODULAR PANELS FOR ENCLOSURES - Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to energy generating modules. More particularly, embodiments relate generally to energy generating modules that comprise energy generating devices and pluralities of modular panels comprising fuel chambers. The modular panels respectively comprise one or more multi-functional inter-panel coupling ports positioned to facilitate multi-purpose modular interconnection of complementary modular panels and exhibit a degree of structural rigidity sufficient to contribute to immobilization of interconnected complementary modular panels relative to each other. The complementary modular panels are interconnected via the multi-functional inter-panel coupling ports to form an enclosure such that the fuel chambers of the interconnected complementary modular panels are disposed between an exterior of the enclosure and an interior of the enclosure. The energy generating device is in fluid communication with one or more of the fuel chambers and is configured to generate an energy output with fuel received from the fuel chambers. | 02-04-2010 |
20100200595 | FUEL DELIVERY MODULE - Fuel delivery modules are already known having a tank flange and having an accumulator pot which is connected to the tank flange by means of at least one guide rod and which is mounted so as to be axially movable along the guide rod, where the guide rod is pressed with one end into a receptacle of the tank flange. It is disadvantageous that the receptacle is expanded over the entire longitudinal extent as the guide rod is pressed in. As a result of tolerance fluctuations in production, excessively high pressures can occur in the receptacle here, which pressures can cause cracks in the receptacle. This leads to rejects and therefore to high production costs. In the fuel delivery module according to the invention, damage to the receptacle during assembly is prevented. According to the invention, it is provided that that end of the guide rod which faces toward the tank flange has a bead, which interacts in a retentive manner with the receptacle, and a constriction situated behind the bead in a direction facing away from the tank flange. | 08-12-2010 |
20100230418 | RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY - A reservoir assembly for containing a non-corrosive liquid and a gas containing an evaporated liquid. The reservoir assembly includes a main reservoir having a main reservoir bottom wall, a main reservoir top wall and a main reservoir peripheral wall extending therebetween. An auxiliary reservoir, is provided having an auxiliary reservoir bottom wall and an auxiliary reservoir peripheral wall extending therefrom defining a peripheral wall top edge. The auxiliary reservoir located inside the main reservoir with the auxiliary reservoir peripheral wall adjacent the main reservoir peripheral wall to allow an infiltration of the non-corrosive liquid therebetween when the auxiliary reservoir is filled and the non-corrosive liquid overflows over the peripheral wall top edge. A deflector, is mounted inside the main reservoir to the main reservoir peripheral wall, having a deflector free end located above the auxiliary reservoir. | 09-16-2010 |
20100282759 | METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HOLLOW BODIES FROM THERMOPLASTIC PLASTIC - The invention relates to a method for the production of hollow bodies from thermoplastic plastic. The method comprises the extrusion of at least two sheet-like preforms consisting of thermoplastic plastic, the introduction of the preforms into a preferably multipart molding die with a molding cavity which at least partially defines the contour of the hollow body to be manufactured, and the shaping of the preforms inside the die, using a vacuum and/or gas pressure in the first heat of the material. The method is distinguished in that at least two preforms to be shaped into a hollow body and to be connected are extruded successively, that is to say sequentially, in time and are shaped simultaneously. | 11-11-2010 |
