TANK CONSTRUCTION WITH INDIVIDUAL TANK MODULES, ESPECIALLY FOR A FIRE PROTECTION VEHICLE

摘要

2.1 A known liquid vessel has separate tanks of modular construction with plane peripheral walls, the separate tanks being connected to one another by connecting pipes. The overall construction is comparatively bulky and makes assembly difficult due to the leak-prone connecting pipes. 2.2 According to the invention a tank construction (1) is proposed with tank modules of essentially identical design, each tank module having at least one convex bulge (5 and 6) and at least one concave indentation (7 and 8). The convex bulge of one tank module can be brought into a positively interlocking, tightly fitting engagement with the concave indentation of an adjacent tank module resulting in a compact overall construction of a rigid vessel, in which the connecting pipes can be omitted. A tank construction (1) of this type can be designed and if necessary expanded as required for a mobile tank on a vehicle or as a fixed tank system. IMAGE
