STRESS ABSORBING STRUCTURE OF TANK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stress absorbing structure of a tank which can absorb a stress due to thermal expansion of the tank. SOLUTION: A tank body 12 having a heating jacket 14 along an outer periphery is suspended from a tank support member 18 by a hanger 17. A hollow support member 21 is suspended from the tank support member 18. A discharge conveyer 20 connected with a tank nozzle 19 provided at a lower end of the tank body 12 is supported by the hollow support member 21. A heating medium supply system 15 is connected with the heating jacket 14 and the hollow support member 21, so that the heating medium approximately at a constant temperature is supplied through the system 15 to the heating jacket 14 and the hollow support member 21.
