Abstract

924,804. Storing liquefied gas. CONCH INTERNATIONAL METHANE Ltd. June 20, 1961, No. 22194/61. Class 8(2). A cylindrical or prismatic tank for liquefied gas, e.g. natural gas, nitrogen or helium, comprises a load-bearing floor and a loadbearing wall or walls, respectively, formed of thermal insulating material 1, the floor and wall or walls being covered with dimpled, thin metal sheets 3 having plain edges 4 which are secured, e.g. by welding or screwing, to metal members 2, the latter being spaced from each other and fixed, e.g. by screws or nails, to the material 1 in the corner between the wall and the floor or the corners between the walls and between the latter and the floor; the edges 4 of the metal sheets are slotted at a series of points 5 corresponding to the spaces between the members 2, and along the or each corner there is a gutter-like strip of metal 6 sealed, e.g. by welding, to the adjacent edges 4. The thermal insulating material 1 may be balsa wood, preferably faced with plywood, or quippo, cork, foamed plastics, glass, asbestos, jute fibres, mineral wool or cellular gypsum. The metal of the sheets 3 is preferably stainless steel or an aluminium alloy. The. members 2 may be fixed to the material 1 by screws passing through slotted holes in the members 2 to allow for expansion and contraction. The strips of metal 6 are preferably transversly corrugated at 7 and in the case of a prismatic tank each corner between two of the walls and the floor is completed by a sheet metal member sealed, e.g. by welding, to the adjacent ends of the associated three gutter-like strips 6 to make a fluid tight corner, the transverse corrugations 7 in the strips 6 may be extended into the dimpled sheets 3, after the strips have been fixed in position, by a forming-in-place process such as vacuum forming while heating. Spaces between the dimpled sheets 3 and the insulating material 1 may be filled with a resilient filler. The metal sheets 1 may form a barrier round another vessel for the liquefied gas, to prevent escape of the gas in case of rupture of that vessel. Specifications 919,587, 924,801, 924,802 and 924,803 are referred to.
