Combustible liquid container - with floating ceiling and fixed ceiling acting as deflector for fire extinguishing agent (OE 15.4.79)

摘要

A large-capacity container for combustible liquids has a floating ceiling on the liquid in the tank inside an outer shell. Support bars distributed over the rim of the outer shell carry a fixed ceiling. The gaps thus left between outer shell and fixed ceiling and between the top of the inner tank and the fixed ceiling are so arranged that jets of fire protecting agents can be injected from the outside to be deflected down on the floating ceiling. This design. combines accessibility for a fire extinguishing agent with a good ventilation of the space above the floating ceiling.
