Embodiments relate to fluid baffles and parts and kits for making such baffles. For example, some embodiments relate to a fluid baffle for use in a tank, where the baffle comprises: a body defining an interior volume and defining a plurality of fluid passage apertures at spaced positions around the body to allow fluid to easily pass into and out of the interior volume; wherein the body comprises a continuous wall that defines a plurality of convex regions spaced from each other around the body and defines concave regions between the convex regions.

The present disclosure relates to a saddle tank for motor vehicles, having two chambers connected to one another in their upper region via a central portion having a reduced cross-section, wherein the first chamber has an access opening for refueling and wherein a fill level-limiting valve is arranged in the second chamber. In order to prevent unwanted swash-over of fuel from the first chamber into the second chamber, provision is made according to the invention for there to be arranged, between the two chambers, a separating body which has a separating wall, which extends over the entire width of the central portion between an upper and a lower wall portion, and a pipe which extends from an opening in the separating wall into the first chamber and allows fluid communication between the first and the second chamber.

Fuel tank made of thermoplastic material comprising baffle components provided therein in the form of at least one baffle element (2) comprising at least one wall portion (4) which is clamped approximately centrally and/or at the end, so that said wall portion may perform relative movements in relation to the tank, caused by splashing movements of the fuel, at least one fastening foot being provided for the clamping, the base thereof being provided with at least one through-hole, through which the fastening foot is riveted and/or welded to the tank wall (2).

A fuel tank for a truck, the fuel tank having a fuel tank body with a peripheral wall and end walls that define at least one receptacle to receive a liquid or gaseous medium. At least one baffle is fixedly attached to the inside surface of the peripheral wall via an inner fixing member. An outer fixing member is to fixedly attach the fuel tank body to the chassis of the truck, and is also connected to the inner fixing member through the peripheral wall.

This disclosure provides a system for damping slosh of a liquid within a tank, a baffle for use in the system, and a method of damping slosh using the system. The system includes a plurality of baffles. Each baffle has a body configured to substantially float upon the liquid. Each baffle also has an activation material received along at least a portion of the body. The activation material is magnetically reactive provided in a quantity sufficient to enable the body to be manipulated in the presence of a magnetic field (M). The system further includes an actuator configured to provide the magnetic field (M).

A tank mounted on a working vehicle is provided with an exterior member including a first plate unit, a second plate unit, a third plate unit, a fourth plate unit, a fifth plate unit, and a sixth plate unit, a first baffle plate joined to a first inner surface of the first plate unit, a second inner surface of the second plate unit, and a third inner surface of the third plate unit, and a second baffle plate joined to a fourth inner surface of the fourth plate unit, a fifth inner surface of the fifth plate unit, and a sixth inner surface of the sixth plate unit.

The invention relates to an operating-fluid container (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a container body which is assembled from two mutually complementary injection-molded shells (2a, 2b) which consist of thermoplastic material and are welded together in an encircling manner to form a substantially closed hollow body, wherein at least one shell (2a, 2b) is at least in regions formed from thermoplastic materials having different strengths, wherein at least one part-region consists of a thermoplastic material having a fibrous filling, wherein the shell (2a, 2b) has been obtained by way of a co-injection process during injection molding.

Example systems and methods for using multi-directional baffles in cryogenic fuel tanks are provided. An example cryogenic fuel tank comprises an inner surface defining an interior of the cryogenic fuel tank to hold a fuel and a plurality of baffles including a first baffle, the first baffle including a first member extending along a first plane and a second member extending along a second plane, the first plane different from the second plane, the second member connected to the first member, the plurality of baffles connected to the inner surface.

Disclosed is a non-metallic anti-explosion ball, comprising an equatorial ring (1), longitudinal sheets (2), a south-polar ring (41) and a north-polar ring (31). The equatorial ring (1) and the longitudinal sheets (2) are arranged perpendicularly. The south-polar ring (41) and the north-polar ring (31) are located on two sides of the equatorial ring (1) respectively. The south-polar ring (41) is located at one end of the longitudinal sheets (2), and the north-polar ring (31) is located at the other end of the longitudinal sheets (2). The equatorial ring (1), the south-polar ring (41) and the north-polar ring (31) are coaxial. A projection of the south-polar ring (41) is located inside a projection of the equatorial ring (1) in an axial direction of the equatorial ring (1), and a projection of the north-polar ring (31) is positioned inside the projection of the south-polar ring (41). Projections of the longitudinal sheets (2) extend from the projection of the north-polar ring (31) to the equatorial ring (1). A manufacturing process for the non-metallic anti-explosion ball is simple, and the production efficiency is high.

A stiffness reinforcement device for a fuel tank of a vehicle may include a body including a pair of pillars formed at both lateral end portions of the body; an upper fusing portion molded to an upper part of the body integrally and fused to an upper plate of the fuel tank; and a lower fusing portion molded to a lower part of the body integrally and fused to a lower plate of the fuel tank.
