Abstract

1,054,641. Carrying liquefied gases. J. J McMULLEN. Feb. 13, 1964 [Feb. 14, 1963] No. 6016/64. Heading B7A. [Also in Division F4] A ship has a tank, Figs. 1 and 2 (not shown), for liquefied gas located with clearance in the space defined by transverse and longitudinal bulkheads 7, 8, an inner floor 12 and a deck 10 each provided with a layer of insulation 6, and the tank comprises an outer wall 2 supported by the inner floor and an inner wall 1 supported by and spaced from the outer wall 2, the walls having oppositely facing cavities 19 which form channels 18 of sufficient dimensions to permit a man to enter the space therebetween and to reach with his outstretched hands the portions of the walls between the channels 18. The inner and outer walls are interconnected by transverse vertically spaced and parallel flange plates 5 which project slightly from the outer wall and considerably from the inner wall, the plates being provided in the region of each channel with orifices 14 (Fig. 5, not shown) which may be arranged to be closed by covers. The flange plates may be made from a continuous sheet or from two sheets joined by bolts or rivets intermediate the walls 1, 2. The space between the walls and between the outer wall and the insulating layer 6 may be flushed out with a dry inert gas, leakage detectors being provided in the path of the gas. The space between the walls can be filled to the level of the uppermost orifice with fuel oil or alternatively with a liquefied inert gas having a higher boiling point than the gas being stored. The tube is divided into compartments by internal bulkheads 3, 4 and rests on insulated supports 13.
