The present invention is a composite munitions vault adapted for use underground. The munitions vault includes a watertight, non-corrosive, composite hull. The hull includes an upper section with a top, two short sides, and two long sides, where each of the two short sides and two long sides have a hexoid shape, and the upper section has no flat surfaces. The hull also includes a lower section with a convex bottom and a gravity ring spanning the circumference of the vault between the upper and lower sections.

An underwater energy storage system includes a tank for storing a compressed gas that is adapted to be stored underwater. The tank includes at least one water opening through which water from surrounding environment can flow into and out of the tank, and at least one gas opening through which the compressed gas is received. The underwater energy storage system further includes at least one duct communicating between the at least one opening for gas flow and a source of compressed gas and a compartment constructed over a roof of the tank, wherein said compartment is adapted for receiving weights at a sinking site of the tank.
摘要:
A flexible walled bag, tank (1), or flexitank, for shipping fluids, in particular liquids, disposed within an outer container (12) confines. and supportable by a container floor, side walls and end structures, an upper tank surface being constrained. loaded or biassed, by external restraints, such as depending local spaced intrusions or baffles (22) extending from one side towards the other.
摘要:
A flexible bladder is enclosed within a plurality of overlapping plastic sheets, with the ends of the sheets being secured in place by the weight of the flexible bladder, when filled. The preferred plastic is an extruded, twin-walled, fluted plastic based upon a polypropylene copolymer. In a alternative embodiment, a pair of hexagonal, coaxial sleeves of the preferred plastic have an internal bladder for shipping materials. With both embodiments, hot chocolate is pumped into the bladder and cooled, in situ, to stop the chocolate from cooking further. The container is shipped, and then the chocolate is heated to facilitate pumping the chocolate out of the container. The cooling and heating processes involve the use of a heat exchange pad located between the bladder and the inner sleeve.
摘要:
The invention relates to a tank-type container for the processing of wine grape must, particularly a fermentation tank for red wine must. The tank is equipped with a slowly rotating agitator having a plurality of longitudinally spaced blades disposed the full length of its shaft extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tank. The invention resides in at least one section, preferably an outward section, of the cross-sectional area of the agitator blades parallel to the agitator shaft being larger than the cross-sectional area which is normal to the agitator shaft. The pomace cap floating on the surface of the juice is disintegrated and punched down into the body of the juice by means of the flat wide blade sections.
摘要:
A tank having an outer wall comprising a plurality of intersecting vertical cylindrical segments joined together at the intersection and arranged with their concave surfaces facing inwardly. Webs joined to junctures of the cylindrical segments and extending across the tank to other junctures carry a part of the outward force applied to the outer wall by liquids stored in the tank.
摘要:
A large tank for holding a fluid substance. Sidewalls of the tank are outwardly convex, or arcuate. The upper edges of the sidewalls are unrestrained so that a relatively high degree of distortion or freedom of the walls is permitted under a fluid head in the tank. The shear flow which is developed in the tank walls acts in summation as a horizontal beam which, anchored at its opposite ends to vertical beam-columns, supports the walls and contained fluid.
