Abstract

951,179. Storing liquefied gases. CONCH INTERNATIONAL METHANE Ltd. Sept. 7, 1962 [Oct. 30, 1961], No. 34283/62. Heading F4P. The inner shell of a double-walled liquefied gas storage container 22, Fig. 4, having heat insulation material e.g., balsa wood or quippo between the shells is formed of a plurality of panels 10 of sheet material e.g. stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminium or glass fibre-reinforced plastic material bonded together along overlapping portions of their edges 18, Fig. 3, to form an impermiable membrane and each panel is provided with a central annular embossment 14 from which radiate linear embossments 16 extending to the edges 18 and serving to accommodate thermal expansion stresses. Each vertical membrane is supported by studs 21 embedded in the insulation 24 and by rods 23 welded to the inner face of the outer shell 26. In a modification the upper end of each vertical membrane is bent over and is supported by the upper portion of the insulation.
