Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for storing frozen liquids, in particular liquefied gases, consisting of a reinforced concrete or prestressed concrete outer container and a steel inner container used therein, which serves to hold the liquid, the inner steel container resting on an insulation and between the outer peripheral surface of the steel inner container and the inner peripheral surface of the outer container, an annular space is provided which is completely or only partially filled with insulating materials.
  • the design of the inner and outer container depends on the safety requirements that are imposed in order to hinder the escape of gas from the inside to the outside in exceptional cases.
  • Liquid ammonia, butane and ethane are often stored in closed steel containers that are in open-top reinforced concrete / prestressed concrete containers.
  • the insulation depends on the type of gas.
  • the space is usually completely filled with insulating material.
  • expanded pearlite is usually used as the insulation material.
  • the starting material is a volcanic silicate rock, in which the bound water is converted into steam by briefly heating to about 1000 ° C, so that the glass melt is inflated to a multiple of its original volume. If necessary, the pearlite can be removed from the gap.
  • liquefied butane gas is to be stored in the container, it is not necessary to completely fill the space with insulating material, since the storage temperature for liquid butane gas is only about -10 . lies and therefore a thin insulating layer, e.g. B. made of polyurethane, on the outer circumference of the inner container.
  • Extensive S must be met icherheitsvorpourept for the operation of such containers.
  • the outer container must be earthquake-proof on the one hand, and on the other hand must be able to withstand loads in the event of a gas cloud explosion.
  • the inner container however, the load case must also be dealt with such that it suddenly tears open. Since steel tends to become brittle at low temperatures, material defects in the steel can actually cause an initially small crack to expand into a continuous crack. The result of this is that cooled liquid emerges from the crack and pours into the space between the steel inner container and the reinforced concrete outer container and flows into the space from the exit point in both directions.
  • Such a fluid flow can also still occur if the space between inner and outer containers with sufficiently permeable and / or displacement - enabled material is filled such. B. with expanded pearlite.
  • the object of the invention is to prevent the occurrence of such impermissible stresses.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in that a plurality of surge suppressing bodies projecting into the intermediate space are attached to the inner circumference of the outer container and / or to the outer circumference of the steel inner container.
  • the surge-reducing bodies preferably occupy about a third of the width of the intermediate space in the radial direction.
  • the surge-reducing bodies can be plate-shaped, but they preferably have a triangular cross section.
  • the surge suppressing body does not simply stop the flow of the escaping liquid gas in the event of a crack in the steel inner container, because this results in considerable and e.g. T. uncontrollable forces can occur, but the surge suppressing body should be designed so that at the top of the protruding into the gap profile the flow breaks off and passes into a vortex, so that the surge is deprived of the energy at the point of break diametrically opposite side would lead to difficulties.
  • a triangular profile in cross section fulfills these requirements very well.
  • An odd number of surge suppressing bodies is preferably arranged uniformly on the inner circumference of the outer container, a total of five such bodies being sufficient.
  • Fig. 1 shows a reinforced concrete outer container, which consists of a base plate 2a, a wall 2b and in the left part of a roof dome 2c.
  • An inner container 1 made of steel is arranged inside the outer container, separated by an intermediate space 3, which is open at the top in the left part, closed at the top in the right part and serves to hold liquefied gas.
  • the wall thickness of the steel inner container 1 is approximately 14 to 30 mm
  • the thickness of the intermediate space 3 is approximately 1 m
  • the wall thickness of the reinforced concrete outer container is approximately 50 cm.
  • the insulation under the bottom of the steel container consists of foam glass, which is able to withstand the static load on the container 1 filled with liquid gas.
  • the space between the two containers is filled with a granulate of pearlite.
  • the non-combustible perlite granulate has the advantage that it can be easily inserted into the space, but also for inspection for purposes or for necessary repair work can be removed just as easily by suction.
  • baffles 4 are attached to the inner peripheral surface which - as can be seen from the cross section of FIG. 2 - have a triangular profile with an inwardly pointing tip.
  • the radial dimensions of the body 4 are chosen so that they take up about a third of the width of the space 3.
  • Their height above the base plate 2a is about two thirds of the total height of the side wall 2b.
  • the anti-surge bodies 4 are preferably made of sheet metal, it being sufficient if five such bodies are arranged in a uniform distribution over the entire circumference. However, more such bodies can also be provided, and it would also be possible to attach these bodies only or additionally to the outer circumference of the steel inner container 1.
  • the side surfaces of the bodies 4a do not have to be exactly flat, they can also be curved inwards to support the formation of eddies.
  • the shape of the body 4 is not limited to a triangular cross section. Other shapes would also be conceivable, but preference is given to those shapes which end in a tip. In the simplest case, radially extending plates 4b could also be used, which may be provided with holes.
