Definitions
- Container for storing and transporting liquefied gas
- the invention relates to a container for storing and transporting liquefied gas.
- 1 / invention relates more particularly to a container for storing and transporting liquefied gas, in particular cryogenic fluid such as helium, comprising a first internal reservoir extending in a longitudinal direction and intended to store the liquefied gas, a second external reservoir disposed around the first reservoir with a vacuum-isolated spacing between the first and second reservoir, the container comprising a third annular reservoir disposed around the first reservoir, between the first and second reservoir, the third annular reservoir extending around at least a portion of the first tank and containing a liquefied gas to form a heat shield providing thermal insulation of the first tank, the container comprising a holding device of the first and third tank in the second tank, the holding system being configured to allow a limited travel of the first and t third reservoirs in the second tank in particular in the longitudinal direction during their dimensional changes due to temperature variations, the holding system comprising a set of tie rods.
- cryogenic fluid such as helium
- the transport of liquefied gas, in particular helium generally uses insulated containers or "iso containers" under vacuum.
- the radiation flux slowly vaporizes the nitrogen.
- the evaporation enthalpy maintains the temperature of the screen at about -196 ° C.
- the nitrogen thus vaporized is vented to the atmosphere via a pipe to maintain the nitrogen guard at low pressure typically 0.5 bar. Liquid nitrogen is thus "consumed” during the transport period.
- the nitrogen tank is sized by the consumption per unit of time and the maximum duration of transport.
- the autonomy of the container is dependent on this nitrogen reserve.
- the increase of this nitrogen reserve increases the autonomy (the duration during which the insulation is guaranteed) but reduces the amount of space available for the inner tank which stores the helium.
- the nitrogen tank is typically 1200 liters.
- the nitrogen capacity must be more than 3,000 liters.

- the upper tie rods intersect with the tie rods lower (in a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction).
- the second ends 8 of the tie-rods 5 can be housed in tubes 18 or metal sheaths for connecting to the first tank 2 by lengthening the thermal path. That is to say that each tube 18 is fixed (welded for example) to the first reservoir 2 but the attachment of the second end 8 of the tie rod 5 to its tube 18 is offset relative to the attachment between the tube and the reservoir 2 to lengthen the thermal path.
- each tie rod 5 is bolted (or secured in any other suitable manner) to a sheath or any which is itself welded (or otherwise) to the first tank 2.

- the two lower tie rods 6 preferably have the first end 10 is connected in the lower part of the second reservoir 3 and the second end 9 located in the lower part of the first reservoir 2.
- the two upper tie rods 6 are relatively oriented with an angle of between 60 and 110 degrees and preferably between 70 and 90 degrees and the two tie rods 6 lower are relatively oriented with an angle between 60 and 110 degrees and preferably between 60 and 90 degrees.
- the container 1 comprises a fourth set of tie rods 6 at the other end of the container 1 which can be arranged in the same configuration as the third set (see above and Figures 3 and 4).
- the tie rods 6 of the third set of tie rods, respectively of the fourth set of tie rods, have a length of between 30 and 80% and preferably between 40 and 60% of the length of the radius of the section of the second reservoir.
- the two internal tanks 2, 4 are carried and suspended in the first external tank 1 via tie rods 5, 6 located at both ends of the container 1.
- the second ends of the tie rods 6 supporting the third reservoir 4 may be connected to rings 13 or plates secured to the third reservoir 4 via the screen walls 11, 12. That is to say that the second ends 9 of the tie rods 6 can be connected to respective rings 13 also forming the support of the screen walls 11, 12.
- tie rods 5, 6 can pass through these screen walls 11, 12 via respective holes 17.
- tie rods or holding / support members may optionally optionally be provided between these two ends of the container 1.
- the tie rods 5, 6 articulated are configured to pivot around their end 7, 10 connected to the second reservoir 3 at an angle of, for example, between 10 and 20 degrees and corresponding to a clearance in the longitudinal direction of their second end 8, 9 for example between 1 and 50mm and in particular between 30 and 40mm (for a container having a length of the order of 12 meters).
- This movement is made possible via the tie rods 5, 6 hinged.
- the ends 10 and 7 of the tie rods 5, 6 connected to the lower part of the second reservoir 3 are mounted on respective resilient supports 14 and damping a limited vertical travel relative to the second reservoir 3
- These resilient supports 14 may comprise, for example, a stack of Belleville washers, a shock absorber, a spring or any other suitable member.
- the fixed and rigid connection may comprise tubular walls forming the round-trips in the longitudinal direction A to constitute an insulation thermal path between, on the one hand, the second reservoir 3 and, on the other hand, the first 2 and third 4 tanks (see for example DE102014206370A1).
- This thermal path may comprise an epoxy / glass composite tube or the like on the thermal path.
- the axial fixed connection (in the longitudinal direction A) between the second reservoir 3 and the first reservoir 2 may comprise a wall 25 (epoxy / glass or metal composite such as titanium for example), one of which end 125 is blocked longitudinally by a longitudinal stop 225 secured to the first reservoir 2.
- the longitudinal stop 225 is for example fixing clamp preventing relative rotation of the two parts).
- the two cylindrical walls delimiting the third reservoir 4 can comprise spacers or stiffeners separating them. This makes it possible to minimize the thickness of the walls or ferrules by balancing the effect of the pressure and by reinforcing the assembly in particular axially (in the longitudinal direction A).
- the arrow of the cylindrical part is a few millimeters in full load of liquid nitrogen and under 4g of acceleration during handling.
- the evaporated nitrogen can be vented to the atmosphere by piping not shown for the sake of simplification.
- the pressure can be maintained at typically 0.5 bar by a discharger.
- This third annular tank 4 can also be equipped with filling pipe and a safety line connected to a valve.
- the spacers 16 or stiffeners may extend in the longitudinal direction A. This configuration makes it possible to in particular a manufacture of the two walls and their spacer (s) by extrusion.
- the container 1 can increase the nitrogen capacity, for example from 1200 liters to 3000 liters with an annular height of 40 mm (distance separating the two concentric walls of the third tank 4 ). This configuration minimizes the reduction of the capacity of the first tank 2.
- the hyperstatic structure of support allows a homogeneous distribution of the mass of the third tank 4 to avoid an overload on the rear axles in case of road transport or an imbalance during handling
- the two cylindrical walls of the third tank 4 act as two heat shields in series.
- the outer wall receives the flow of heat from the second tank 3.
- the inner wall receives the heat flow from the outer wall which has a temperature of, for example, 90K. This reduces the heat flow to the first tank 2 (for example at 4K).
- the hyperstatic structure of support and support allows a good distribution of the masses, a support allowing the dilations and retractions and a holding during the trans orts,
- the third tank 4 (and the screen walls 11, 12) is a rigid assembly that can be self-supported by the tie rods 6 from the wall of the second tank 3. This avoids compression of the inter-wall insulation. This therefore avoids thermal defects and improves the degassing of the insulation by avoiding the local settlement of the insulating material.
- the third reservoir 4 forming a screen may be in direct abutment on the insulation disposed around the first reservoir 2.
- This insulation may comprise layers of insulating materials conventionally used.
- the container can be housed (fixed) to a parallelepiped frame allowing transport.
