TANK BODY OF LIGHT CRUDE OIL TANK CAR
A tank body of a light crude oil tank car, comprising a cylinder body (1), seal heads (2) provided at both ends of the cylinder body (1), multiple valves (3) provided at the upper part of the cylinder body (1), and traction bolsters (4) and a letdown valve (5) provided at the lower part of the cylinder body (1). The cylinder body (1) comprises three layers, i.e., an inner cylinder body (6), an outer cylinder body (7), and ceramic fiber (8) disposed between the inner cylinder body (6) and the outer cylinder body (7); and a protective head (9) is mounted at the outer side of the seal head (2). The structure avoids the explosion problem due to rapid rise of the temperature of a medium in a tank body that may be easily caused when the tank car is in a fire, and the problem that a seal head may easily be pierced by a lower coupler when compartments are derailed.
