ABSTRACT:
A device for storing and discharging a viscous liquid comprises a tank adapted to accommodate a viscous liquid, an outer tubular element arranged inside the tank and open into its interior so that the viscous liquid fills an inner chamber of the outer tubular element, an inner tubular element located inside an inner chamber of the outer tubular element and being substantially closed, means for supplying the viscous liquid into the outer tubular element and discharging liquid from the outer tubular element, means for supplying a heating medium into the inner tubular element so that the heating medium inside the inner tubular element gives out heat through a wall of the inner tubular element into the inner chamber of the outer tubular element and therefore to the viscous liquid so as to heat the viscous liquid and to reduce its viscosity, and for discharging the heating medium which has been cooled as a result of giving off the heat, and a plurality of fins arranged on an outer surface of the inner tubular element and extending toward an inner surface of the outer tubular element and spaced from one another in a circumferential direction around the inner tubular element so as to facilitate heat transfer from the wall of the inner tubular element to the viscous liquid inside the outer tubular element.
