Refrigerant ISO Tank Container For Efficient Transportation
A Refrigerant ISO Tank container is a stainless steel pressure vessel installed in a fastened external frame and can be used for road, rail and water transportation.
The inner liner of the tank is mostly made of 316L stainless steel. Most tank containers have steam or electric heating devices, inert gas protection devices, pressure relief devices and other optional equipment required for fluid transportation and loading and unloading. There are corner load-bearing frames around the tank body for protection and lifting. The external frame size of the tank container is the same as that of the international standard 20′ container (20 feet long, 8 feet wide, 8 feet high). It can load fluid cargo up to 14,300 to 31,000 liters (or even larger).
Refrigerant ISO Tank Advantages
In addition to all the advantages of containerized transportation, compared with the transportation method of “several drums loaded into a dry cargo standard container,” it has many advantages such as being economical, fast, safe, environmentally friendly and beautiful.
1. Large capacity; The loading capacity of an ISO Tank usually ranges from 14,300 to 31,000 liters, depending on the size and design of the tank. For example, the capacity of a standard ISO Tank is usually around 25,000 liters. For refrigerants, the capacity of the Refrigerant ISO Tank container depends on the refrigerant.
2. Economical; For example, a 20-foot container (24,000 liters) can carry 45% more liquid cargo than a 20-foot standard dry cargo container full of drums. That is, “more shipments for the same freight,” thereby reducing the land and sea transportation costs of each unit of cargo. In addition, the use of tank containers can save the cost of purchasing and discarding drums. Refrigerant ISO Tank containers can be reused. These are two direct cost savings in the transportation process.
3. Fast; The use of tank containers will have relatively inexpensive and time-consuming small barrels for filling, loading, and unloading. The mode of transportation can be directly converted between road, rail and water transportation, and the operation is simple and fast, and it can be done in one step. It can truly achieve “door-to-door” transportation.
4. Increase safety; Tank container transportation is internationally recognized as the safest way to transport chemicals and food. In the process of distributing and transporting chemicals and food to various places, compared with other methods, this is a unique means of transportation that does not escape, leak, or contaminate the goods themselves.
5. It is more environmentally friendly and more beautiful, giving customers a good impression.
In addition to ISO TANKs for transporting liquids, there are also gas tanks for transporting refrigerants.
Refrigerant ISO Tank Classification
The United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO) and its International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG—International Maritime Dangerous Goods) classify such tanks into the following categories:
(I) IMO Type 0
Transporting non-dangerous goods with a flash point exceeding 61°C, non-toxic and non-corrosive goods, goods outside the ban list of international enforcement agencies, and liquid foods, but alcoholic beverages with a flash point exceeding 21°C or an alcohol content exceeding 25% should be transported using IMO Type 1 tanks and unloaded from the bottom of the tank.
(II) IMO Type 1
Dangerous goods tank containers, with a maximum permissible working pressure of more than 1.75 bar, are used to transport liquid chemicals with a flash point below 0°C, certain highly toxic or corrosive chemicals, pyrophoric goods, goods that are dangerous when wet, goods that oxidize on their own, and liquid goods whose sealing pressure does not exceed the allowable pressure of the tank. For tanks that transport corrosive and unstable goods, special steel materials must be used, and necessary linings must be considered. The sum of the water vapor pressure in the tank at 65″C and other partial pressures caused by it and 0.35 kg/cm² is not allowed to exceed the design pressure of the tank. Materials can be unloaded from the bottom or top of the tank.
(III) IMO Type 2
Sub-dangerous goods tank containers, with a maximum permissible working pressure of more than 1.0 bar and less than 1.75 bar, are used to transport liquid goods with a flash point of 0°C to 61°C and no other hazards, certain dangerous, toxic or corrosive chemicals, and liquid goods with a sealing pressure of less than 172.4 kPa but not exceeding the allowable working pressure of the tank. Materials can be unloaded from the bottom of the tank.
(IV) IMO Type 4
Road tank trucks equipped with type 1 or type 2 tanks.
(V) IMO type 5
Liquid gas tank containers are used to transport non-refrigerated liquefied gas or less dangerous chemicals at room temperature, unloading from the bottom of the tank.
(VI) IMO type 6
Road tank trucks equipped with type 5 tanks.
(VII) IMO type 7
Refrigerated liquid gas tank containers with insulation, used to transport refrigerated liquefied gas or low-temperature liquefied gas and liquid perishable goods that require temperature control, unloading from the bottom of the tank.
(VIII) IMO type 8
Road tank trucks equipped with type 7 tanks.
The portable refrigerant ISO tank container guideline applies to dangerous goods that are allowed to be transported in portable tank containers. Each portable refrigerant ISO tank container guideline consists of the English letter T and Arabic numerals (T1 to -175). Each guideline represents a technical specification. Refrigerant ISO Tank container generally belongs to portable tank containers, and the technical specification is T50.
