Talking about the Advantages of Aluminum Alloy Tank Truck

[China Aluminum Network] As an important logistics equipment, tank trucks are widely used in the automotive transportation industry. At present, China mainly uses carbon steel tanker transportation for transportation of petrol, diesel and other oil products, and cement, fly ash and other powder and granular materials. Because carbon steel tankers are heavy, their quality utilization coefficient is low, and vehicle fuel consumption is high, and the tanks are prone to rust and corrosion and pollute the environment, developed countries and regions such as Europe, America and Japan started to use aluminum alloy tankers since the 1920s. Alternative carbon steel tanker.

Under the background of increasing global energy and environmental pressure, the pursuit of vehicle weight reduction has become the development trend of the automotive industry, and it is also the only way to promote the sustainable and healthy development of commercial vehicles in China. At present, automobile companies around the world are focusing on energy saving, material saving, environmental protection, cost reduction, and improvement of basic functions such as dynamics, economy, reliability, safety, and comfort. New technologies, new materials, new processes, and new products are being developed. The core of the R&D work is to realize the lightweight of the car.

The advantages of aluminum alloy tank trucks have the following general points:

(1) The safety is high and the hazardous (explosive) products are flammable and explosive. Therefore, the safety is an important indicator of the tanker. Aluminum alloy tankers have a low center of gravity due to their low weight, so they are not easy to overturn and are safer. From the perspective of safety, aluminum alloy tankers have a low inertia and a reduced braking distance when they collide.

Second, non-combustible materials, no sparks, and lower electrostatic accumulation. The use of aluminum alloy cans facilitates the conduction of static electricity generated during the loading, unloading, and transportation of oil products in a timely manner, reducing the probability of accidents.

Third, there is little damage to the road surface, and the government has always wanted to reduce the cost of road maintenance;

Fourth, the energy generated by the collision can be absorbed by the deformation without being suddenly torn.

(2) Lower operating costs, lighter weight, higher payload, and faster return on investment Because aluminum-alloy tankers are lighter in weight compared to carbon steel tankers, they reduce fuel consumption and tire wear during transportation, thereby reducing daily operating expenses. And maintenance costs. By reducing the weight of the vehicle body and increasing the payload, transporting the same amount of cargo can allow the vehicle to operate fewer shifts.

(3) Good corrosion resistance, long service life and strong corrosion resistance. Typical service life of aluminum alloy tank trucks is 15-20 years. A dense layer of aluminum oxide will form on the surface of the aluminum tanker, effectively preventing atmospheric and moisture erosion, and the tanker will not contaminate the oil due to rust. No paint and no protective layer, save maintenance costs. The tank cleaning is easy and convenient, the surface can maintain a bright and beautiful appearance for a long time, and it helps to enhance the corporate image.

(4) Excellent product performance and beautiful appearance Aluminum can be used in the tank body, which has good elongation rate and high strength. The sub-warehouse technology can be used for multi-variety material storage and transportation. With the closed filling system, the loading and unloading efficiency is improved by more than 1 time. Research shows that, under no-load conditions, 60% of the fuel consumption comes from the vehicle's own weight. Every 1T lighter vehicle can save 0.6L of gasoline per 10km. Aluminum tankers lost 4 tons, and the economic benefits of saving fuel throughout the life cycle are substantial.

(5) Better fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions, more green and environmentally friendly, in line with national energy-saving emission reduction policies, good economic and social benefits According to the European Aluminum Association's research report, vehicle quality and fuel consumption of bicycles are positively changing. relationship. If the total weight of the bicycle is reduced by 1t, then the vehicle running 100km can save 0.6L diesel. According to the provisions of China’s Road Safety Law, the total weight of cargoes must not exceed 55 tons. Under the premise of stipulating the total weight, if we want to increase the total amount of transportation, we can always start with the lighter weight of the vehicle, so as to increase its effective bearing capacity and obtain better economic benefits. From the point of view of increasing revenues, using aluminum alloy cans, the vehicle carrying the vehicle is carrying about 3 tons more than the carbon steel filling vehicle, still calculating the mileage of 120,000 km/year, and the transportation fee is 0.5 yuan/km.t, which can be increased annually. With a revenue of approximately RMB 180,000, it can be seen that the economic benefits of using aluminum alloy cans are considerable.

Similarly, according to the European Aluminum Association’s research report, the use of 1 kg of aluminum alloy for the entire vehicle (within the life span) can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 28 kg. In this way, if aluminum alloy cans are used, the total vehicle weight can be reduced by 5 tons, which can reduce the total carbon dioxide emissions by 140 tons. According to the US study, under the Euro IV standard, there is no relation between the fuel consumption Y and the body mass X in the office: Y= At 0.003X+3.3434, the quality of autos did not decrease by 1,000 kilograms and the fuel consumption dropped by 7%-10%. At the same time, the emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides will also drop. The environment will be greatly improved and the social benefits will be obvious.

(6) Recovering a tank with a high value of 5 tons of finished aluminum alloy, when the tank is scrapped, according to the current price of aluminum in the international market, only about 80,000 RMB will be recovered from the tank.

As domestic oil tankers representing internationally-leading technical standards have been rolled off the market, the status of China's oil tanker industry has undergone tremendous changes. The demand for oil tanker products in China has continuously increased. Lightweighting of automobiles is the general trend of the development of automobiles, and the large-scale use of aluminum alloys is one of the major ways to reduce the weight of automobiles. The application of aluminum alloy on the tank body has made the tanker a significant effect in light weight, and the economic benefits, environmental protection, and social benefits are considerable. It is a matter of benefiting the people and the people, according to the aluminum alloy tanker in Europe and North America. Use experience. Thus, aluminum alloy tankers are an inevitable trend for the development of Chinese tank cars.

In summary, the author believes that aluminum alloy cans have unparalleled advantages in terms of economic benefits, safety, and environmental and social benefits. Aluminum alloy tank trucks are high-end, lightweight, and energy-efficient. The inevitable choice of environmental protection.
