Abstract
A structure or cooling a large cylindrical storage tank has the shape of an inverted funnel and is intended to be disposed over the tank receiving the upper portion therein and internal struts are provided to separate the funnel wall from the tank wall, The separation allows the entry of air into the funnel structure so that as the structure is heated by the sun air currents will rise through the funnel exiting the chimney which will result in an inflow of air into the funnel around the walls of the tank.
