Tank container for transporting liquids, has U shaped spacer profiles fitted between tank and skirts for securing tank to end frames

摘要

A spacer (20) is fitted between at least one skirt (16) and the tank (2) so that the skirt is maintained at a radial distance beyond the tank peripheral wall (3). The spacer comprises a U-shaped profile extending in the tank circumferential direction and bordering a heating channel (31) on the outside of the tank. The spacer is welded to the skirt and tank. The container comprises a tank (2) with a peripheral wall extending between two end walls (5, 6), and skirts for securing the tank to two end frames (12). The skirts extend at least partly in the tank circumferential direction.
