The function of the internal floating disk

What is the function of the internal floating disk? What is its structure like?
What is an internal floating disk? Does it refer to the internal floating roof of a large tank? LZ should provide a detailed explanation!
Hehe, if you're referring to floating roof tanks, then I can explain that. Floating roof tanks come in two types: internal floating roofs and external floating roofs. Internal floating roof tanks are equipped with a floating disk, which is made of aluminum and has a circular shape. This floating disk floats on top of the liquid in the tank and moves up and down with the level of the liquid, thereby reducing vaporization of the liquid. By the way, design institutes generally do not design floating discs, as there are existing samples available for use; in other words, when designing a tank, one can simply choose a floating disc – you can look at relevant samples and study them carefully.
To prevent the material from evaporating or volatilizing, there is a floating lid (a bit like a boat)
It must be the floating disk in the storage tank! In the middle is an iron plate with several guide rods, and on the sides there is sponge wrapped in plastic!
Give it some support. The design prepared by the design institute is related to the design of internal floating roof tanks. Among them, vent holes in the tank wall and core-equipped manholes are essential for internal floating roof tanks, as well as oil level measurement holes – all of these are necessary. Internal floating boats can be contacted directly with the corresponding manufacturers, and ordered according to specific dimensions.

In summary, internal floating disks are used in conjunction with storage tanks that hold volatile liquid petroleum products; they help reduce the amount of vaporization that occurs naturally, which contributes to energy savings, reduced consumption, improved safety, environmental protection, and increased economic benefits.
"Among them, vent holes in the wall of internal floating roof tanks and manholes with cores are necessary, as well as oil level measurement holes; all of these are required. – Can it be assumed then that there are still ways and means for the material to evaporate? If the nitrogen seal pressure is too high and the breather valve opens, is a small amount of vaporization still present?
It only reduces evaporation, not eliminates it; if you go to the site, you can still smell that there is air leakage from the vent valve on top of the tank. Additionally, the material used for the internal tray can be steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Steel is difficult to process and install, and not easy to repair; its advantage is its low cost. Stainless steel is expensive, while aluminum is cheap but has a low melting point. The choice of floating platform requires considering various factors
Reduces material evaporation and minimizes environmental impact
