Abstract

See full text

A tank system includes a vacuum tank and a pressure tank. The vacuum tank has a vacuum tank main portion extending between vacuum tank end portions. The pressure tank is mounted within the vacuum tank, and has a pressure tank main portion extending between pressure tank end portions. The tank system includes a deflection control system comprising at least one elongate support member extending from a vacuum tank first side of the vacuum tank main portion, and passing through an opening in a pressure tank first side of the pressure tank main portion, and coupled to a pressure tank second side opposite the pressure tank first side. The elongate support member is configured to support the pressure tank main portion and reduce deflections of the pressure tank main portion relative to the vacuum tank main portion when the tank system is subjected to a load.
