Baffle for liquid cargo carrier

摘要

In a tank for transporting compressed liquified gasses, a rigid baffle is placed at the top of the liquid. This baffle prevents any portion or segment of the liquid from rising above a static level and therefore prevents lateral surging as well as forward and aft surging. One embodiment is a plate-like horizontal baffle and another is a baffle forward of a plurality of vapor traps depending from the top. A clear, open passageway under the baffles provides workmen rapid access to the manhole.
