A transportation device, such as a rail vehicle, has a water supply device with a freshwater tank, at least one used water device connected to the freshwater tank and a collecting container connected to the used water device. The collecting container collects and stores used water which comes from the used water device The water supply device includes a control device which, by way of at least one control signal, can predefine one of at least two different operating modes, specifically a normal operating mode and an economy operating mode in which, compared to the normal operating mode, at least one operational resource which is necessary to operate the water supply device is consumed to a lesser extent than in the normal operating mode. |

Aspects and embodiments of systems for fluid transportation using inductive heating are described. In one embodiment, the system includes a first transportation pipe having a first diameter and a second transportation pipe having a second diameter. The first diameter is greater than the second diameter. An augur that causes a fluid flow is within the first transportation pipe. A control circuit is electrically coupled to the first inductive element and the second inductive element, and to a power supply to inductively heat the first transportation pipe and the second transportation pipe. |

Bituminous heavy crude oil is kept at elevated temperatures in order to flow and may be transported in one direction, and light hydrocarbons typically comprising of mixtures of components of which the majority will have molecular chain lengths of 2 to 12 carbon atoms, such as Natural Gas Liquids (NGL), light naphtha, natural gasoline and natural gas condensates may be transported in the opposite direction. |

Heating of tank car walls for ejecting frozen or congealed cargo |

Mikhail A. Lobko; Irina P. Lobko |
A device and method for unloading frozen or congealed crude oil, oil product, or chemical cargo from a railway or highway tank car. A brief heating step uses the high thermal conductivity of metal tank walls, and the low thermal conductivity of oil or chemical cargos, to thaw a relatively thin band of cargo adjacent to the longitudinal tank wall. This thin band of thawed liquid lubricates the remainder of the plug, which remains solid, so that the plug can be mechanically ejected into a receiving trough positioned at the same height as the emerging plug; this avoids the requirement of completely thawing the frozen cargo before it can be pumped out. A tank car is disclosed having at least one end wall that can be opened, allowing a frozen or congealed mass to be physically ejected from the tank as a solidified plug. The ejection mechanism can involve pneumatic or hydraulic pressure which moves an interior wall along the length of the cylinder, or a large piston-type movable wall coupled to one or more driving rods. The brief heating step uses heating belts wrapped around the tank, passage of steam or hot water through a space between two cylindrical walls in a double-walled tank, or a crane-supported device which can be lowered over a tank. After ejection, the plug can be thawed, sliced, or otherwise prepared for burning, refining, repackaging, or any other use. The heating devices can be used in conjunction with conventional internal steam coils, or with tank cars having rusted or broken steam coils, to speed up a conventional thawing operation. |

A protective coating for steel vessels having polyurethane insulation sandwiched between a vessel container and an outer shell, the coating applied to the outer surface of the container and the inner surface of the shell. A method for protecting polyurethane insulated tank car and other steel vessel containers and the inside surface of the outer shell which encapsulates the containers, which includes the steps of preparing the outer surface of the container and the inside surface of the outer shell and coating the outside and inside surfaces with a protective coating such as a lead and chrome-free polyamide epoxy to prevent corrosion and pitting. |

Kenneth H. Smith; Walter J. Marulic |
A dual lading railroad car which can carry solid, granular lading in hoppers at each end of the car and a liquid lading in a tank located in the center of the car between the hoppers. Only liquid lading can be carried in one direction and only solid, granular lading can be carried in a different or return direction, or both such ladings can be carried simultaneously in the same direction. Phosphate rock can be carried in the hoppers and molten sulfur in the tank. The exterior of the car looks substantially like a conventional covered hopper car since the tank is fully enclosed by the car walls and roof. |

One or a series of wheeled tank cars for carrying a commodity which must be heated for effective handling and which produces noxious gases when heated is provided with a closed vapor recovery system, including valved lines respectively associated with each tank car, for safely venting said gases to a remote recovery sink away from operating personnel as the commodity is heated in the one or more tank cars prior to unloading or during the filling operation. An upper heating coil system is also disclosed for melting away solidified commodity from upper tank fittings prior to operation of said fittings in the unloading or loading operation for reliable flow handling therethrough and operation of their valves. |

A resilient insulating structure on the interior surface of a railway freight car body in contact with lading carried by the car and supporting at least a substantial portion of the lading carried by the car. The resilient insulating structure comprises a layer of polyurethane foam material having its outer surface secured to the inner surface of the metallic car body and an elastomeric inner liner secured to the inner surface of the polyurethane foam material. The polyurethane foam material forms an intermediate cushioning layer for the elastomeric inner liner and is of a thickness at least around 1 inch and may be as great as around 8 inches. The elastomeric inner liner is less than around 1/2 inch thickness and has a stiffness less than the stiffness of the foam material. Some of the energy created by forces exerted by the lading against the resilient insulating structure is dissipated by the deformation of the insulating structure with the remainder of the energy being transmitted to the railway car body through the insulating structure. Upon unusually high local stresses being exerted, such as from a tool or a workman within a car, the intermediate foam layer may be deformed permanently while the elastomeric inner liner in contact with the lading remains undamaged.
