Abstract

938,520. Storing liquefied gases. CONTINENTAL OIL CO. March 7, 1962 [March 20, 1961], No. 8818/62. Class 8(2). [Also in Group XXIX] A reservoir for low temperature liquid gas comprises a container 21 suspended within a depression 17 in the ground above its bottom press means 16 which extend between supports 11 secured on at least two sides of the depression. The container 21 is attached to the crossextending I beams 16 by cables or rods with spring hangers 20 which may be omitted at positions near the centre of the tank which are not greatly affected by expansion. The depression 17 is lined with asphalt, plastic or other impervious material and the space 22 between it and the container 21 is filled with insulating material, loose or in bags. A cover 24 of sheet metal, plastic or other material extends over the beams 16 and its edges dip into a peripheral trough 13 which forms a water-seal. The gas mentioned is meltrane.
