Description

Arrangement for transport and storage of liquid fuels Background of the invention The invention relates to an arrangement for transporting and storingliquid fuels.

Liquid fuels are typically transported by tank trucks designed for thepurpose, with the typical transport capacity ranging from 10,000 to 35,000 litres.To operate such a vehicle, an ADR tanker lorry permit is required, which allows thetransport of hazardous materials in containers exceeding 3,000 litres. Using suchtank trucks and fuel tanks matching their capacity is not, however, meaningful forstoring fuel in such usage situations where the amount of fuel needed at any one time is smaller or the need for fuel is temporary.

Brief description of the invention lt is an object of the invention to develop a new type of arrangement fortransporting and storing liquid fuels.

The solution according to the invention is characterized by what is dis-closed in the independent claim.

The arrangement for transporting and storing liquid fuels comprises avehicle-transportable container which comprises ﬂoor, roof, and wall structures toform at least one closable transport and storage space, at least one IBC (Intermedi-ate Bulk Container) container arranged in at least one transport and storage spaceof the container for transporting and storing diesel fuel, and at least one IBC (Inter-mediate Bulk Container) container arranged in at least one transport and storagespace of the container for transporting and storing gasoline, and at least one deliv-ery device for delivering diesel fuel or gasoline from a corresponding at least onecontainer.

The arrangement according to invention allows, for example, a tempo-rary supply of fuel at sites where both diesel and gasoline are needed.

Some embodiments of the invention are presented in the dependent claims.

Brief description of the drawings The invention is now described in closer detail in connection with pre-ferred embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure 1 shows an inventive container, in its closed form, schematically as seen obliquely from above, Figure 2 is a schematic partly sectional view of the container of Figure1, as seen obliquely from above, Figure 3 is a schematic partly sectional view of the container of Figure1, as seen obliquely from the rear, Figure 4a is a schematic sectional side view, as seen from a side of thecontainer, and Figure 4b is a schematic sectional view as seen from above the con-tainer, of the division of the transport and storage space of the container and theenvironment external to the container into zone classes in accordance with classi-fication requirements of eXplosive spaces in a typical usage situation of the con-tainer.

For reasons of clarity, some embodiments of the invention are illus-trated in the figures in a simplified form. Similar parts are indicated in the figures by the same reference numbers.

Detailed description of the invention Figure 1 shows a container 1, in its closed form, schematically as seenobliquely from above and usable in the arrangement of the disclosed solution. Thebasic structure of the container 1 is substantially rectangular and comprises a bot-tom structure 2, roof structure 3, side walls 4,5 opposite each other and running inthe longitudinal direction of the container 1, that is, a first side wall 4 and an oppo-site second side wall 5, and end walls 6,7, opposite each other and forming the endsof the container 1, that is, a front wall 6 of the container 1 and an opposite rear wall7 of the container 1. The bottom structure 2, wall structure 3, side walls 4,5, as wellas front and rear walls 6, 7 define a substantially uniform transport and storagespace 8 forming inside the container 1. The bottom structure 2 forms the floor ofthe transport and storage space 8. A front end or front part 8a ofthe transport andstorage space 8 is located adjacent to the front wall 6 and a rear end or rear part8b ofthe transport and storage space 8 is located adjacent to the rear wall 7.

Figure 2 is a schematic view of the container 1 of Figure 1, as seenobliquely from above, partly sectional for the portion of the first side wall 4, andFigure 3 is a schematic view of the container of Figure 1, as seen obliquely from therear, sectional for the portion of the second side wall 5. The size ofthe container 1may be freely chosen, but the container is advantageously a container at least 20feet long and meeting the size standards of containers used for sea transport,whereby the container 1 may be easily transported by sea and road with suitable equipment. The top and bottom corners of the container 1 have locking points 9 by means ofwhich the container 1 may be locked to the means transporting the con-tainer 1, or to other containers in case containers are piled one upon the other.

The bottom structure 2 of the container 1 in the Figures have openings10 for the forks of a forklift in the portion at the side walls 4, 5, whereby the con-tainer 1 may be handled with loading means equipped with forks. Further, the bot-tom structure 2 of the container 1 of the figures have rails 11 in the longitudinaldirection of the container 1, supported by which the container 1 may rest in placeand supported by which the container 1 may also be drawn on a transport means,such as on a body or trailer of a lorry, by means of a hooked hoist.

The first side wall 4 of the container 1 of the figures is provided withdoors 12, which in their open position allow access to the transport and storagespace 8 from the side of the container 1. The second side wall 5 of the container 1is solid, but it, too, could be provided with one of more doors. The front wall 6 ofthe container is solid and on its outer surface side, in connection with the front wall6, a hook gripping element 13 is arranged, to which a hook of a hooked hoist maybe fastened to pull the container 1 to be supported by a transport means. The rearwall 7 of the container 1 is provided with doors 14 which in their open positionallow the transport and storage space 8 to be reached from the end of the container1. The transport and storage space 8 may thus be opened and closed by means ofsaid doors 12, 14.

The arrangement for transporting and storing liquid fuels, shown in thefigures, further comprises at least one, but in the embodiment shown in the figures,three IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) containers placed in the transport andstorage space 8, for the purpose of transporting and storing diesel fuel, taking placein the container, that is, a first diesel fuel tank 15a, second diesel fuel tank 15b, andthird diesel fuel tank 15c. The first diesel fuel tank 15a is placed at the first end 8aof the transport and storage space 8, immediately next to the front wall 6 and to-wards the centre part of the transport and storage space 8 therefrom. The second15b and third 15c diesel fuel tanks are placed in the same row with the first dieselfuel tank 15a, towards the centre part of the transport and storage space 8. Thediesel fuel tanks 15a, 15b, 15c may be placed in the transport and storage space 8through the opened doors 12 in the first side wall 4, for example, and they arelocked in place for the duration of the transport with means that are not shown inthe figures due to reasons of clarity. The volume of each individual diesel fuel tank15a, 15b, 15c is typically no more than 3,000 litres.

The arrangement shown in the figures further comprises at least one,but in the embodiment of the figures, two refuelling cabinets 16a, 16b for dieselfuel, which comprise at least a pump and hose for delivering diesel fuel from thetanks 15a, 15b, 15c. For reasons of clarity, the figures do not show pipe or hoselines between the containers 15a, 15b, 15c and the refuelling cabinets 16a, 16b.The refuelling cabinets 16a, 16b thus form a possible delivery means for deliveringdiesel fuel from the tanks 15a, 15b, 15c.

The arrangement shown in the figures further comprises at least oneIBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) container 17, placed in the transport and stor-age space 8, for the transport and storage of gasoline, taking place in the container.The gasoline tank 17 is placed at the second end 8b of the transport and storagespace 8, immediately next to its rear wall 7 and towards the centre part of thetransport and storage space 8 therefrom. Other potential gasoline tanks may beplaced in the same row with the gasoline tank 17 in question, towards the centrepart of the transport and storage space 8. The gasoline tank 17 may be placed inthe transport and storage space 8 through the opened doors 14 in the rear wall 7,for example, and locked in place for the duration of the transport, at least, withmeans that are not shown in the figures due to reasons of clarity. The volume ofeach individual gasoline tank 17 is typically no more than 3,000 litres.

Gasoline delivery from the tank 17 may be implemented by means of ahand pump arranged in connection with the container 17, or it may be arranged bymeans of a dedicated pump and hose in the refuelling cabinets 16a, 16b, or a dedi-cated refuelling cabinet separate from the refuelling cabinets 16a, 16b may be ar-ranged for it. The hand pump in question or refuelling cabinet form a possible de-livery means for delivering gasoline from the tank 17. For reasons of clarity, saidmeans for gasoline delivery, obvious for a person skilled in the art, are not shownin the figures.

The arrangement shown in the figures comprises fuel containers forboth diesel and gasoline. The arrangement shown in the figures allows a temporarysupply of fuel at sites where both diesel and gasoline are needed, for example. Theconsumption of diesel at earth-moving construction sites, in agriculture, and othersimilar uses comprising work machines is typically notably larger than the con-sumption of gasoline, and therefore one gasoline tank is often adequate to meet atemporary need for gasoline delivery. ln the embodiment shown in the figures, thevolume of each diesel fuel tank 15a, 15b, 15c may be, for example, 3,000 litres, andthe volume of the gasoline tank 17 may be, for example, 1,000 litres. Because in the disclosed arrangement, the volume of each individual IBC container 15a, 15b, 15c,17 is at most 3,000 litres, the disclosed container may still be transported withoutan ADR tanker lorry permit, with the IBC containers 15a, 15b, 15c, 17 filled to thetop. ln the arrangement shown in the figures, the diesel fuel tanks 15a, 15b,15c are placed at the front end 8a ofthe transport and storage space 8, so the endof the container 1 from which the container 1 is hoisted when pulling the container1 onto a transport means with a hooked hoist, for example. ln such a case, theweight distribution of the container 1 when loading the container 1 on a transportmeans and when unloading the container 1 from a transport means is advanta-geous from the point ofview of handling the container. ln the arrangement of the figures, the dimensioning of the container 1as well as the dimensioning and positioning of the diesel fuel tanks 15a, 15b, 15cand the gasoline tanks 17 is implemented so that next to the gasoline tank 17 andbetween the gasoline tank 17 and diesel fuel tanks 15a, 15b, 15c free space re-mains, whereby said free space may be utilized to transport, for example, handextinguishers, lubricants, and other accessories or means within the scope of thecarrying capacity of the container 1.

The arrangement shown in the figures further comprises at least oneventilation line 18 which is inside the transport and storage space of the containerconnected to each container 15a, 15b, 15c, 16 to form a ventilation coupling for thefuel containers. An output ofthe ventilation line 18 from the container 1 is arrangedat the rear end 8b of the transport and storage space 8, at the top part of thetransport and storage space 8, and comprises a discharge coupling 19 ofthe venti-lation line, such as a discharge pipe, a discharge end 20 of which is disposed outsidethe transport and storage space 8 at the height of at least 1.5 metres over the con-tainer 1. For the duration of transporting the container 1, the discharge coupling19 may be placed in the transport and storage space 8 to reduce the total height ofthe container 1.

The arrangement shown in the figures further comprises at least onemain distribution board 22 to control supply ofpower to at least one delivery cab-inet 16a, 16b intended for fuel delivery. ln addition, the transport and storage space8 of the container 1 may include lighting, indicator lamps, or other items needingpower supply.

The arrangement shown in the figures further comprises a power unit 23 for generating electric energy through the main distribution board 22 to at least one refuelling Cabinet 16a, 16b intended for the delivery of fuel, but if need be alsofor the operation of other devices using electric energy. The power unit 23 may be,for example, a generator, aggregate, or another unit suitable for generating and/ orstoring electric energy.

Because gasoline has a relatively low ﬂashpoint (appr. -40 °C), gasolinemay form an explosive air mixture even at a conventional storage temperature.Even though the ﬂashpoint of diesel fuel is relatively high (appr. 55 - 60 °C), it, too,may form an explosive air mixture in case of very high local temperatures. For thisreason, the selection and positioning of the equipment included in the arrangementin the transport and storage space ofthe container and in the immediate externalenvironment of the container is advantageously implemented on the basis of theclassification requirements of explosive spaces.

The classification of explosive spaces is based on the possibility of oc-currence of an explosive air mixture, formed by gas, vapour, or mist and air, in thespace according to its purpose of use. Generally, in explosive spaces, zone class 0includes spaces where an explosive air mixture formed by gas, vapour, or mist andair is continuously, for long periods, or frequently present. Zone class 1 includesspaces where an explosive air mixture formed by gas, vapour, or mist and air islikely present in normal operation. Zone class 2 includes spaces where in normaloperation the occurrence of an explosive air mixture formed by gas, vapour, or mistand air is not likely. lf, however, an explosive air mixture is formed, its occurrenceperiod is short.

Figure 4a is a schematic sectional side view, as seen from a side of thecontainer 1, and Figure 4b is a schematic sectional view as seen from above thecontainer 1, ofthe division of the transport and storage space 8 ofthe container 1and the environment external to the container into zone classes in accordance withclassification requirements of explosive spaces in a typical usage situation of thecontainer 1. ln a typical usage situation of the container 1, the doors 12 in the sidewalls 4, 5 of the container 1 are closed, the doors 14 in the rear wall 7 are open, theventilation couplings of the containers 15a, 15b, 15c, 17 to the ventilation line 18are open, the doors of the refuelling cabinets 16a, 16b are open, and the power unit23 is running to generate electric energy through the main distribution board 22to at least one refuelling cabinet 16a, 16b intended for the delivery of fuel, but ifneed be also for the operation of other devices using electric energy.

As described in the above, an output of the ventilation line 18 of the con- tainer 1 from the container 1 is arranged at the second end 8b ofthe transport and storage space 8, at the top part of the transport and storage space 8, and a dischargeend 20 of the discharge coupling 19 of the ventilation line 18 is disposed outsidethe transport and storage space 8 ofthe container at the height of at least 1.5 me-tres over the container 1. Because in a usage situation of the container 1, diesel andgasoline vapours are discharged from the discharge end 20 all the time, practicallyspeaking, a spherical space of zone class 0 and having a radius of 1,500 mm isformed around the discharge end 20. When the discharge end 20 of the dischargecoupling 19 of the ventilation line 18 is placed outside the transport and storagespace 8 at the height of at least approximately 1.5 metres over the container 1, thezone class 0 formed around the discharge end 20 of the discharge coupling 19 ofthe ventilation line 18 is placed in a safe location, from the viewpoint of the usersof the container 1, over the container 1 where in a normal usage situation no-oneneeds to go. ln accordance with the zone classification requirements, around the dis-charge end 20 of the discharge coupling 19 of the ventilation line 18, an area ac-cording to zone class 1 with the radius of 1,500 to 3,000 mm, and an area accordingto zone class 2 with the radius of 3,000 to 4,500 mm are formed.

The inner sides of the diesel and gasoline tanks 15a, 15b,15c, 17 arespaces of zone class 0. Because the diesel and gasoline tanks 15a, 15b, 15c, 17 aresolid, with the exception of the connection to the ventilation line 18 and the con-nection to the refuelling cabinet 16a, 16b, or to the potential hand pump as con-cerns the gasoline tank 17, the zone class 0 in question is limited only to the volumeinside the diesel and gasoline tanks 15a, 15b, 15c, 17.

The transport and storage space 8 of the container 1, that is, the interiorof the container 1, forms a space according to the zone class 1 as a space surround-ing the diesel and gasoline tanks 15a, 15b, 15c, 17. To ventilate the transport andstorage space 8, the arrangement shown in the figures further comprises at leastone ventilation opening 21 arranged in the second side wall 5 of the container 1.The ventilation opening 21 may be arranged, for example, in the area of the freespace between the gasoline tank 17 and diesel fuel tanks 15a, 15b, 15c. The venti-lation opening 21 is arranged in the container 1 so that its distance from the frontwall 6 of the container 1 towards the rear wall of the container is at least approxi-mately 3 metres. Because the transport and storage space 8 of the container 1forms a space in accordance with the zone class 1, a space is formed external to andover the second side wall 5 ofthe container, said ventilation opening 21 as its cen- tre point, extending to the distance of 1,500 mm in radius and having the zone class 1, and a space at a distance of 1,500 to 3,000 mm in radius and having the zoneclass 2.

When the doors to the refuelling cabinets 16a, 16b are open, the refuel-ling cabinets 16a, 16b form a space according to zone class 1. ln such a case, a spaceextending to a distance of 1,500 mm in radius is formed around the refuelling cab-inets 16a, 16b, with said refuelling cabinet 16a, 16b as its centre point and havingthe zone class 1, and a space at a distance of 1,500 mm to 3,000 mm in radius andhaving the zone class 2.

Figure 4b further shows a refuelling area 24 where the refuelling of gas-oline and diesel fuel is intended to be carried out. The refuelling area 24 is locatedin the longitudinal direction of the container 1 from an imaginary border 25 de-fined in the middle of the container 1 towards the rear wall 7 of the container 1 andpast it all the way to where the delivery hoses of the refuelling cabinets 16a, 16b orthe hand pump of the gasoline tank 7 extend. The refuelling area 24 is an area ac-cording to zone class 1 whereby a space extending to a distance of 1,500 mm fromthe refuelling area border 25 to the direction ofthe front wall 6 ofthe container 1forms a space according to zone class 1, and a space at a distance of 1,500 mm to3,000 mm from the refuelling area border 25 to the direction ofthe front wall 6 ofthe container 1 forms a space according to zone class 2.

As can be seen in Figures 4a and 4b, if two or more spaces of differentzone classes intersect, the space in question is defined as a space having the higherexplosive zone class.

The zone classification shown in Figures 4a and 4b is implemented in acontainer 1 with the length of 20 feet or approximately 6,000 mm. As indicated byFigures 4a and 4b, all the spaces according to explosive zone classification bothwithin the container 1 in the transport and storage space 8 and outside the con-tainer 1 in its immediate vicinity are located in an area extending from the frontwall 6 of the container 1 towards its rear wall 7 and potentially past it. ln this case,the space located on the front side of the front wall 6 of the container 1 forms aspace to which specific zone class requirements no longer apply, and devices lo-cated in this area may be freely chosen without taking into account the require-ments set for devices to be placed in explosive spaces. ln the arrangement shown in the figures, the main distribution board22 is placed on the solid front wall 6 ofthe container 1, on the outside ofthe frontwall 6 i.e the transport and storage space 8. Because the front wall 6 of the con- tainer 1 is solid and because the discharge end 20 ofthe discharge coupling 19 in the ventilation line 18 and the ventilation opening 21 are located far enough fromthe front wall 6 of the container 1, the outer surface of the front wall 6 of the con-tainer 1 is located, according to the zone classification of Figure 4, in such an areawhere specific zone class requirements no longer apply. Therefore, the outer sur-face of the front wall 6 of the container 1 forms an area where various appliancesand devices can be freely positioned. As a result, the characteristics for the maindistribution board 22 may be freely chosen without specific zone class require-ments set for the main distribution board 22. Consequently, the cost of the maindistribution board 22 may be kept low.

The power unit shown in the figures is a transportable power unit 23,whereby to use it the power unit 23 is taken out of the transport and storage space8 of the container 1 and connected to the main distribution board, and the powerunit 23 is moved back into the transport and storage space 8 for the time period oftransporting the container 1. ln the arrangement shown in the figures, to use the power unit 23 it isplaced on the outside ofthe transport and storage space 8 of the container 1, on thefront side of the solid front wall 6 of the container 1. Because the front wall 6 of thecontainer 1 is solid and because the discharge end 20 ofthe discharge coupling 19in the ventilation line 18 and the ventilation opening 21 are located far enoughfrom the front wall 6 ofthe container 1, the environment ofthe container 1, on thefront side of the outer surface of the front wall 6 of the container 1 is located, ac-cording to the zone classification of Figure 4, in such an area where specific zoneclass requirements no longer apply. Consequently, the front side of the outer sur-face of the front wall 6 of the container 1 forms an area where various appliancesand devices may be freely placed. As a result, the characteristics for the power unit23 may be freely chosen without specific zone class requirements set for it. Conse-quently, the cost ofthe power unit 23 may be kept low. ln the disclosed solution, the discharge end 20 of the discharge coupling19 in the ventilation line 18, the diesel fuel tanks 15a, 15b, 15c, gasoline tanks 17,ventilation opening 21 of the transport and storage space 8, and border 25 oftherefuelling area 24 are arranged in the container 1 and outside the container 1 opti-mally in its immediate vicinity so that a space may be arranged on at least the frontside ofthe front wall 6 ofthe container 1 where the classification requirements ofexplosive spaces do not apply. ln containers even longer, with the arrangement inquestion, spaces may also be obtained for the front part of the container 1, on its sides, where the classification requirements of eXplosive spaces do not apply. This means that such devices may be brought in the arrangement, to which the classifi-cation requirements of explosive spaces do not apply whereby the cost of the de-vices may be minimized.

The example shown in the figures thus discloses a solution for equip-ping the container 1 and dividing the transport and storage space 8 of the container1 and the immediate surroundings ofthe container 1 into zone classes in accord-ance with classification requirements of explosive spaces so that advantageouslyat least a portion ofthe transport and storage space 8 ofthe container 1 and/or ofthe immediate external surroundings of the container 1 comprises an area exemptfrom the classification requirements set for explosive spaces. So, other embodi-ments according to the claims are possible. This means that the location of, for ex-ample, the discharge end 20 of the ventilation line 18 and consequently other ac-cessories or means included in the arrangement may differ from that shown in thefigures. The discharge end 20 of the ventilation line 18 of the container may be lo-cated, for example, at the top part of the second side wall 5 ofthe container 1, closeto the rear wall 7 ofthe container 1.

According to an embodiment, the arrangement may additionally com-prise at least one IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) container for transporting andstoring an additive for reducing the nitrogen oxides of exhaust gasses of diesel fuel,typically a solution made of urea and chemically purified water. The volume ofeach of such individual containers is typically no more than 3,000 litres, and maybe placed in the transport and storage space 8 of the container 1, such as next tothe gasoline tank 17.

Those skilled in the art will find it obvious that, as technology advances,the basic idea of the invention may be implemented in many different ways. Theinvention and its embodiments are thus not restricted to the above-described ex- amples but may vary within the scope of the claims.
