TANK TRAILER WITH FLUID COLLECTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051502 titled 'TANK TRAILER WITH FLUID COLLECTION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a tank trailer that includes a tank with an interior volume for holding fluid. The trailer also has a manhole positioned near the rear portion of the tank and at ground level. A ventilation system is included, which consists of a ventilation interface connecting to the interior volume of the tank, a ventilation access port with an outlet near the rear portion and at ground level, and a ventilation pipe that establishes fluid communication between the outlet and the ventilation interface. Additionally, a collection system is present, which includes a collection pipe connected between the ventilation interface and the ventilation pipe. The collection pipe is designed to collect fluid spilled from the tank's interior volume through the ventilation interface and partially prevent fluid flow into the ventilation pipe.
- The tank trailer has a tank with an interior volume for holding fluid.
- A manhole is positioned near the rear portion of the tank and at ground level.
- The ventilation system includes a ventilation interface, a ventilation access port, and a ventilation pipe.
- The ventilation interface connects to the interior volume of the tank.
- The ventilation access port has an outlet near the rear portion and at ground level.
- The ventilation pipe establishes fluid communication between the outlet and the ventilation interface.
- The collection system consists of a collection pipe connected between the ventilation interface and the ventilation pipe.
- The collection pipe is designed to collect spilled fluid from the tank's interior volume and prevent some fluid from entering the ventilation pipe.
Potential Applications:
- Transportation of various fluids in a tank trailer.
- Preventing fluid spills during transportation.
- Ensuring proper ventilation and collection of spilled fluid.
Problems Solved:
- Minimizing fluid spills during transportation.
- Preventing contamination of the ventilation system.
- Efficiently collecting spilled fluid.
Benefits:
- Reduces environmental impact by preventing fluid spills.
- Improves safety by minimizing the risk of accidents caused by fluid spills.
- Ensures compliance with regulations regarding fluid transportation and containment.
Original Abstract Submitted
a tank trailer is provided. the tank trailer includes a tank having an interior volume adapted to contain fluid, and a manhole extending through the tank and positioned proximate a rear portion thereof and proximate to ground level. the tank trailer also includes a ventilation system having a ventilation interface communicating with the interior volume of the tank, a ventilation access port having a ventilation outlet positioned proximate the rear portion and proximate to ground level and a ventilation pipe adapted to establish fluid communication between the ventilation outlet and ventilation interface. the tank trailer further has a collection system which includes a collection pipe coupled between the ventilation interface and the ventilation pipe. the collection pipe defines an internal volume shaped and adapted to collect fluid spilling from the interior volume of the tank through the ventilation interface and at least partially prevent fluid flow into the ventilation pipe.
