摘要:
A fluid transport container 1 has a foot valve (2) and an outlet valve (3) connected through a conduit (4). In order to prevent a shock being generated in the conduit (4) when the outlet valve (3) is closed during discharge of fluid, control means are provided to ensure that the foot valve (2) is closed with the outlet valve (3). The control means allows the foot valve (2) to re-open shortly thereafter to permit an accurate dipstick reading to be taken.
摘要:
An outlet valve (1) for a fluid transport container is adapted for connection to a fluid delivery conduit (3) via a releasable coupling means (7), the valve being openable to permit discharge of fluid from the container into the delivery conduit (3). Means (11) cooperating with the coupling means (7) are provided to prevent the valve (1) from opening when it is not connected to a conduit via the coupling means (7), such means (11) advantageously being in the form of a pneumatic switch arranged in a pneumatic supply line (12) for the valve.
摘要:
An electronic apparatus for monitoring the discharge of fluid from the compartment of a transport container to a static tank comprising a means (25, 28, 31) for identifying the fluid stored in the compartment, a means (25, 28, 31) for communicating with a remote device at the static tank to determine the identity of fluid in the static tank and a means (25) for comparing the identity of fluid in the compartment with that of the static tank. The apparatus may further comprise means (25, 26) for preventing discharge of fluid from the compartment.
摘要:
A fluid transport container (1) comprises a foot valve (2) arranged in a lower part of the container and connected or connectable to an outlet valve (3) via a conduit (4), a dipstick insertable into the container via an aperture (7) therein for measuring the volume of fluid in the container, locking means (9) associated with the dipstick aperture and selectively operable to prevent the dipstick from being inserted into the container, and control means (8) for the foot valve (2) and locking means (9), such control means being adapted to release the locking means only when said foot valve is in an open condition (3).
摘要:
A fluid transport tanker comprises a barrier member arranged for movement respectively between a first position and a second position so as to either prevent or allow connection of a delivery conduit to one or more outlet valves of the tanker, there being pneumatically operable locking means (1) for the barrier member comprising a locking element (2) to retain the member in its first position. The tanker further comprises pneumatic control means including first and second pneumatic switches (7,8) operable in response to movement of the locking element so as to enable the tanker to be filled and to prevent movement of the tanker, the first switch (7) being connected to a pneumatic pressure source via at least one manually operable master shut-down switch, and the second switch (8) being connected to the same or a different pneumatic source independently of the shut-down switch.
