The invention relates to a device for operating tank storage systems connected, by fixed pipes, to pipe systems for fluids, mainly liquid products, but generally also being suitable for gaseous products, especially for use in installations subjected to high microbiological quality requirements, for product processing and product transfer in the food and drinks industry, pharmacy and biotechnology, with the other preamble features of claim 1 or sub-claim 4. The invention improves the respective generic device (a first or a second basic design) in that it can be produced in a simple and cost-effective manner and meets the highest requirements in terms of the quality of the fluid product treated in the tank storage system, with a high level of operating safety. This is achieved for both basic designs in that: each pipeline (2.1, 2.2,..., 2.i,..., 2.n; 3.1, 3.2,..., 3.i,..., 3.n; 4), in the region of the valve distributor tree (B1, B2, Bi,..., Bn), is in the form of a compensation elbow (AB) which, in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (L) of the valve distributor tree (B1, B2, Bi,..., Bn), either partially surrounds same with its flanks (AB', AB") or is adjacent to same with one of its flanks (AB', AB"); the compensation elbow (AB) comprises a connection opening (V) in a section adjacent to the valve distributor tree (B1, B2,..., Bi,..., Bn); the joining opening (A) and the connection opening (V) are interconnected by the pipe connection (RV) receiving the disk valve (S; S*, S**); and the connection point of the pipe connection (RV) and the compensation elbow (AB) is located at least at a distance (x) in relation to a first alignment direction (F1) of the pipeline sections (a', a") of the pipeline (2.1, 2.2,..., 2.i,..., 2.n; 3.1, 3.2,..., 3.i,..., 3.n; 4), connected to the compensation elbow (AB), allowing displacement of the pipeline sections (a', a") in the first alignment direction (F1). |
