Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0596576A1] An unpressurised vessel (1a) comprises a tank (1b) and has a safety vent which prevents spillage of hot or dangerous liquids from inside the tank (1b) on a change in attitude of the vessel (1a), for instance following an accident involving a vehicle carrying the vessel (1a). The safety vent comprises a duct (5) forming a continuous channel from an outlet (3) from the tank (1b) above the surface of the liquid into a first duct end (6) preferably located near to a first tank end (2) and extends around the tank (1b), describing the extremities of the tank (1b) to a second duct end (7) which is open to the atmosphere. <IMAGE>
