The invention relates to a logistical system for a tank wagon" href="http://www.railway-wagon.com/tank-wagon-1.html">
tank wagon
, having a tank wagon underframe (1) and a large-volume tank (2) which can be detachably mounted thereon or two small-volumetanks (2a,2b) which can be detachably mounted thereon. The invention is based on the object of providing a design of tank railway wagons
which fulfils the requirements for greater flexibility and a better utilization of the carrier vehicles and of the tanks. The object is achieved in that a tank-wagon logistical system is provided which has a China
railway wagon underframe (1) and a large-volume tank (2) which can be detachably mounted thereon or two small-volume tanks (2a,2b) which can be detachably mounted thereon, with stop brackets (4,4a,4b) on the China
railway wagon underframe (1) which act in the longitudinal direction and tankstop brackets (3,3a,3b) on the tank (2,2a,2b), the stop brackets (4,4a,4b) of the China
railway wagon underframe (1) being constructed and arranged in such a way that they are suitable both as stops for the tank stop brackets (3) of the large-volume tank (2) and as stops for the tank stop brackets (3a,3b) of the two small-volumetanks (2a,2b) which are assigned to one half of the tank-wagonunderframe (1).
The interior of the tank of a tank truck or a China railway wagon , is cleaned using a selectively removable sprayhead and the built-in delivery pump of the tank vehicle. A removable sprayhead is inserted into the interior of the tank railway wagon through a manhole and connected, via the delivery pump, to an external storage source of a solvent or cleaning solution. The solvent is, for example, a mixture including a chlorinated aliphatic compound and an aromatic compound, both compounds having a freezing point below 60° C. The solvent is then pumped into the tank, and the hoses normally carried with the tank truck are connected so that the delivery pump can be used to recirculate the solvent through the tank. The solvent is recirculated until the tank is clean at which time it is pumped back into its original storage tank so that it can be reused.
