Sloshing is a phenomenon due to the movement of a fluid in a closed container that is not completely filled which causes a variation in the distribution of pressures on the walls of the tank and, consequently, a resultant and a non-zero hydrodynamic moment on the walls of the tank and, therefore, on the entire structure to which it is bound. This is critical for many applications dealing with liquid storage in tanks. In the following videos you can see the efficiency of the Exco System products: in the tanks filled with the aluminum mesh and with the spheres, there is a clear reduction in the phenomenon of sloshing compared to the tank filled only with liquid.

È molto interessante notare come in circostanze di rischio sismico legate allo sloshing che concorrono all’incremento del rischio di incidente rilevante, soprattutto nei grandi complessi industriali in cui si producono e vengono stoccati liquidi infiammabili, il nostro sistema contribuisca a ridurre il rischio di incendio e rottura del serbatoio attraverso la stabilizzazione del fluido e l’azione antiesplosiva.
