The temperature detection component 5 is installed at both ends of the tank body 1 and in the middle of the tank body 1. The liquid outlet pipe 6 is installed in the tank body 1, and one end of the liquid outlet pipe 6 is located at the bottom of the tank body 1, and the other end extends out of the tank body 1. The transfer pipe 7 is installed in the tank body 1, and one end of the transfer pipe 7 is located at the bottom of the tank body 1, and the other end extends out of the tank body 1. The inspection hole 8 is set at the top of the tank body 1. The liquid level detection component 9 is in communication with the interior of the tank body 1 , and the liquid level detection component 9 has two detection points.

[0063] When in use, the low-temperature kerosene entering the storage tank through the liquid inlet pipe 2 exchanges heat with the stored kerosene inside the storage tank. The newly entered kerosene is evenly delivered into the tank body 1 through the distribution component 3 connected to the liquid inlet pipe 2, so that the kerosene quickly reaches the required operating conditions (the temperature meets the requirements, and the kerosene temperature is evenly distributed up and down and left and right).

[0064] The bubbling assembly 4 introduces low-pressure nitrogen to stir the kerosene in the tank 1, speeding up the heat exchange process between cold and hot kerosene, and making the kerosene temperature inside the equipment reach the operating condition in a short time. Through on-site debugging, the debugging time is mastered to meet the use requirements of the entire system.

[0065] The temperature detection component 5 is used to detect the temperature of the kerosene in the tank body 1. The transfer pipe 7 is used for the transfer of kerosene. The liquid outlet pipe 6 is used to discharge the kerosene in the tank body 1. The inspection hole 8 is for the convenience of entering the tank body 1 for later maintenance. The liquid level detection component 9 is used to detect the amount of kerosene in the tank body 1, and it has two detection points. One is located at the bottom of the tank body 1 and the other is located at the top of the tank body 1.

[0066] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the tank body 1, a saddle 11 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1, and the tank body 1 is arranged horizontally after installation.

The two distribution pipes 33 are respectively installed on the two support frames 32, and the two distribution pipes 33 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting pipe 31. The two distribution pipes 33 are arranged along the axial direction of the tank body 1, and the distribution pipes 33 are provided with distribution holes 34 along the axial direction thereof.

[0068] When in use, the kerosene does not enter the connecting pipe 31 through the liquid inlet pipe 2, and then the kerosene is distributed to the two distribution pipes 33 through the connecting pipe 31, and the kerosene enters the tank body 1 evenly through the large distribution holes 34 on the distribution pipes 33. The kerosene in the tank body 1 quickly reaches the use condition.

[0069] It should be noted that the middle of the tank body 1 is rectangular and the two ends are hemispherical. The length of the distribution pipe 33 is the same as the length of the middle position of the tank body 1, so that the kerosene enters the tank body more evenly.

[0070] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the bubbling assembly 4 includes: a first bubbling tube 41 and two second bubbling tubes 42. The first bubbling tube 41 is installed in the tank body 1 and is located in the middle of the tank body 1.

After the fourth tube body 422 is installed, it is parallel to the axis of the tank body 1, and the fourth tube body 422 is provided with a plurality of second bubbling holes 423 along its axis direction.

[0073] When in use, the first bubbling tube 41 and the two second bubbling tubes 42 introduce low-pressure nitrogen into the tank body 1 to stir the kerosene, which accelerates the heat exchange process of the cold and hot kerosene in the tank body 1, so that the kerosene temperature quickly reaches the use condition.

[0074] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the detection of the temperature in each area, two temperature detection components 5 are respectively arranged at both ends of the tank body 1, and a temperature detection component 5 is arranged in the middle of the tank body 1.

When the second detection pipe 94 is installed, its axis is flush with the top of the tank body 1.

[0077] The purpose of discharging the sewage pipe 91 is to discharge all the kerosene in the tank body 1 after use. The purpose of the first detection pipe 92 and the second detection pipe 94 is to detect the lowest kerosene liquid level and the highest kerosene liquid level in the tank body 1.

[0078] In one of the embodiments, in order to facilitate later maintenance, the inspection holes 8 are provided with two, and an escalator 81 is provided at one of the inspection holes 8.
