Abstract

A steam heating system for a container comprises a distribution assembly and a heating assembly. The heating assembly comprises a heating plate (3) disposed on a bottom plate of a container. The heating plate (3) is a hollow plate internally provided with a plurality of through-channels (1). The distribution assembly communicates with the heating assembly, and distributes steam to all of the through-channels (1) of the heating plate (3). The steam heating system for a container has an advanced design. The heating plate in the steam heating system is positioned in place before loading or stacking of goods, and then steam is inputted to heat the entire hollow heating plate, such that the heating plate transfers heat to the goods disposed thereon to heat the goods, thereby maximizing the heating surface and improving heating efficiency. The steam released in the heating space enables heat energy to be fully utilized, thereby effectively improving heating efficiency and reducing costs. In addition, the system can be easily installed and is reusable.

Abstract

A vent is described, more specifically a vent for the egress of fluid. The vent comprises a housing comprising an opening and at least one valve that extends through the housing. Additionally, the vent includes a plurality of baffles within the housing, where each baffle in the plurality of baffles comprises at least one aperture, and wherein the aperture or apertures of a first baffle within the plurality of baffles are offset from the aperture or apertures of a second baffle within the plurality of baffles. In this way, the egress of various fluids though the housing may be controlled.

Abstract

A flexible tank (10, 110) for transporting fluids in a transportation container (12) is described, the flexible tank (10, 110) defining a tank (10) volume for containing a fluid. The flexible tank (10, 110) comprises at least one mixing member (146, 46) enclosing a fluid pathway (160, 60) extending across an interior surface (144, 44) of the flexible tank (10, 110), the flexible tank (10, 110) further comprising at least one inlet valve (140, 40) configured to allow the passage of fluid from outside said flexible tank (10, 110) into said fluid pathway (160, 60). The mixing member (146, 46) further comprises at least one aperture (154) such that the inlet valve (140, 40) is in fluid communication with the tank (10) volume via the fluid pathway (160, 60). An intermodal container (12) comprising the flexible tank (10, 110) and a method of mixing a fluid with the tank (10) are also disclosed.

Abstract

A flexible tank for transporting fluids in a transportation container is described. The flexible tank defines a volume within which a fluid can be held and comprises at least one baffle, where the baffle comprises at least one aperture and extends across said volume to substantially divide said flexible tank into two or more subsections. The baffles act to dampen potentially hazardous surge waves that can propagate within the held fluid during transportation.

Abstract

A system for shipping liquids is disclosed which comprises a container (12) which consists of two identical shells (16) the upper one of which is inverted with respect to the lower one. Toggles (32) and latches (34) are provided for pulling the two shells (16) together. The container rests on a frame, which includes pipework (44) for connecting to an inlet/outlet (26.1 ) in the base of the lower shell of the container. The equivalent inlet/outlet in the top of the upper shell of the container receives a gas escape vent (52). A flexible tank (46) is provided in the container (12) and the inlets/outlets communicate with the interior of the bag. The frame can, instead of accommodating just one container, be configured to support two, three or more containers in a side-by-side array.
