Why are anti-sloshing baffles installed in tank-type hazardous chemical transport vehicles?

[LeCorbin]

Tank-type hazardous chemical transport vehicles are equipped with anti-sloshing baffles primarily to reduce liquid fluctuations and impacts inside the tank, thereby improving the driving stability of the tanker. When the viscosity of the medium transported by the tanker is relatively low and the filling level is between 20% and 80%, anti-sloshing baffles must be installed inside the tank. The following introduces the details of anti-sloshing baffles: 1. Introduction to anti-sloshing baffles: The anti-sloshing baffle of a tanker, also known as a surge plate, is a crucial component in the design of liquid tank vehicles. Whether it's a fuel tanker, a water sprinkler, or a chemical liquid transport vehicle, anti-sloshing baffles are installed inside. 2. Standards: To achieve optimal anti-sloshing effects, it is generally recommended that the volume between two baffles should not exceed 7.5m³, or the spacing should not exceed 1750mm. The effective area of the anti-sloshing baffle should be greater than 40% of the tank's cross-sectional area, and the ventilation area in the upper part of the baffle should be less than 20% of the tank's cross-sectional area.
