Vertical SS304 Coolant Reservoir

Design a 3D CAD model of a compact vertical rectangular industrial coolant reservoir for a 1 TR spindle chiller. **1. Overall dimensions** - Internal width: 250 mm - Internal depth: 250 mm - Internal height: 325 mm - Gross internal capacity: approximately 20.3 litres. - The reservoir must have a noticeably vertical orientation, with height greater than both width and depth. - Maintain accurate proportions and dimensions. **2. Material** - Material: Stainless Steel SS304. - Main four walls: 1.0 mm sheet metal. - Bottom plate: 1.5 mm stainless steel. - Top lid: 1.0 mm stainless steel. **3. Main body construction** The four vertical walls must be manufactured from a single continuous sheet-metal piece. Fold this sheet into a square rectangular enclosure consisting of: - Front wall: 250 mm wide × 325 mm high. - Rear wall: 250 mm wide × 325 mm high. - Left wall: 250 mm deep × 325 mm high. - Right wall: 250 mm deep × 325 mm high. The four walls should form a continuous rectangular body with four vertical corners. Include one vertical closing seam where the ends of the folded sheet meet. This seam will be welded. **4. Bottom construction** - Use a separate flat SS304 bottom plate, 1.5 mm thick. - The bottom plate should be continuously welded to the four-wall body. - The bottom must be flat and perpendicular to the vertical walls. **5. Top construction** - Use a separate, removable, flat SS304 lid, 1.0 mm thick. - The lid must be screwed or bolted onto the tank body rather than permanently welded. - Include a 20 mm wide outward-facing perimeter flange around the top of the tank to provide a mounting and sealing surface for the lid. - Show the lid as a separate component so that its construction and assembly are clear. **6. Design and appearance** - Industrial sheet-metal fabrication design. - Clean, simple rectangular geometry. - Brushed stainless-steel finish. - Sharp, consistent edges with realistic sheet-metal bend radii. - No unnecessary decorative features. - Keep the tank symmetrical and suitable for practical fabrication in a small industrial workshop. **7. CAD output** Create the reservoir as a 3D assembly with three separate components: 1. One-piece folded four-wall body. 2. Separate welded bottom plate. 3. Separate removable top lid. Show an assembled isometric view and a separate exploded view identifying all three components. Do not add coolant inlet or outlet connections, drain ports, fill openings, vents, sensors, internal baffles, mounting brackets or other fittings at this stage. The objective is to model and finalise the basic reservoir enclosure first.
