Description

Heat-insulating structure and cryogenic liquid storage tank having the same {HEAT INSULATION STRUCTURE AND CRYOGENIC LIQUID STORAGE TANK HAVING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a cryogenic liquid storage tank, and more particularly to an insulating structure for insulating the storage space in which the cryogenic liquid is stored, and a cryogenic liquid storage tank having the same.

Cryogenic liquids, such as LNG, Liquid Argon (LAR), Liquid Nitrogen (LIN), Liquid Oxygen (LOX), and Liquid Hydrogen (LH2), are stored in insulated storage tanks to minimize liquid loss by evaporation. Stored or transported in stored condition.

As an example of such a cryogenic liquid storage tank, the storage tank for liquefied natural gas is for storing the cryogenic liquefied natural gas of about -165 ℃, there are spherical type (Spherical Type) and membrane type (Membrane Type). Membrane type liquefied natural gas storage tank is the most widely used because of its larger loading capacity and simpler manufacturing than the spherical type liquefied natural gas storage tank. Membrane type liquefied natural gas storage tanks include MARK-III type and NO-96 type developed by Gaz Transport et Technigaz (GTT), France. These liquefied natural gas storage tanks have a heat insulating structure for preventing the leakage of liquefied natural gas and insulating the storage space in which the liquefied natural gas is stored. Among the MARK-III and NO-96 types, the Mark-III liquefied natural gas storage tank is preferred to the NO-96 type because of its ease of construction and low material cost.

The insulation structure of the MARK-III type liquefied natural gas storage tank includes a kitchen wall whose surface is in direct contact with the cryogenic liquefied natural gas, and an insulation panel coupled to the outer surface of the kitchen wall. The insulation panel has a sandwich structure including an inner panel coupled to the kitchen wall and an outer panel fixed to the tank inner wall. The inner panel and the outer panel are each composed of a plywood protecting plate and a heat insulating material such as urethane foam.

The insulation panel is fixed to the tank inner wall by a stud bolt welded to the tank inner wall. After inserting the stud bolt to the connection part of the insulation panel, it is possible to fix the insulation panel to the inner wall of the tank by coupling the screw to the stud bolt. After the insulation panel is fixed to the inner wall of the tank, the joint portion in which the insulation panel and the stud bolt are coupled is filled with a connector made of an insulation material.

The kitchen wall, which is in contact with the cryogenic liquefied natural gas, is made by welding a metal sheet such as stainless steel. Such a kitchen wall may be damaged due to heat stress at the welding part when heat shrinkage occurs. Because of this problem, the kitchen walls have lattice folds in order to have low in-plane stiffness. The crease reduces deformation by a certain amount when heat shrinkage occurs, thereby reducing the thermal stress at the weld.

The liquefied natural gas storage tank installed in a vehicle or a vehicle may generate waves on the surface of the liquefied natural gas stored therein by a movement such as rolling or pitching of the vehicle. This wave is called sloshing, and this sloshing can cause cavitation inside the liquefied natural gas and put great pressure on the kitchen wall. When the pressure due to the slushing exceeds the yield strength of the kitchen wall, the safety of the kitchen wall may be deteriorated while the permanent deformation occurs in the wrinkles protruding into the storage space. In addition, the repetitive pressure caused by the slushing causes breakage of the heat insulation panel under the kitchen wall, and the breakage of the heat insulation panel is a cause of impairing the stability of the entire system.

As a material of the inner insulation panel 141 and the inner insulation panel 142 for connection, various composite materials such as fiber reinforced composite materials including reinforcing fibers such as glass fiber or natural fiber may be used.

An accommodation groove 143 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the inner insulation panel 141 and the connection inner insulation panel 142. The accommodation groove 143 is for accommodating the pleats 161 of the kitchen wall 160. As shown in Figure 1, the receiving member 145 is inserted into the receiving groove 143. The buffer member 145 fills a gap that may occur between the inner heat insulating layer 140 and the wrinkle part 161, and the inner heat insulating panel 141 and the inner heat insulating panel 142 for connection when the kitchen wall 160 is coupled to each other.

An insert 146 is inserted between the connecting barrier sheet 132 and the connecting inner insulation panel 142. The insert 146 prevents the coupling portion between the barrier sheet 131 and the connecting barrier sheet 132 from being damaged by pressurizing the connecting barrier sheet 132 and for connecting by contraction of the inner heat insulating layer 140.

The coupling member 150 may be made of various materials, and when the metal is made of metal, the kitchen wall 160 may be welded to the coupling member 150. Therefore, when the coupling member 150 is made of metal, it is not necessary to install a separate metal member on the inner insulation layer 140 to weld the kitchen wall 160 to the inner insulation layer 140.

In the present invention, the inner insulation panel 142 for connection may be installed on the secondary barrier 130 in various ways in addition to the mechanical coupling method by the coupling member 150. For example, the inner insulation panel 142 for connection may be adhered to the side wall 130 by an adhesive, such as the inner insulation panel 141.

As described above, the inner insulation panel 141 and the inner insulation panel 142 for connection are made in the form of a box provided with an inner space 144 of a composite material. 12 and 13 illustrate a portion of the inner insulation panel 142 by removing it.

The reinforcing member 149 is formed in a plate shape to support the upper and lower surfaces of the inner insulation panel 141. The reinforcing member 149 may be made of a composite material such as the outer insulation panel 121 or various materials capable of improving the compressive strength of the outer insulation panel 121 such as plywood, metal, and paper.

In order to arrange the reinforcing member 149 in the inner heat insulating panel 141, a part of the inner heat insulating panel 141 is opened to attach the reinforcing member 149 to the inner surface of the inner heat insulating panel 141, and then heat insulating inside. An open portion of the panel 141 may be covered. Alternatively, a method of making the inner insulation panel 141 into two or more parts and combining them with the reinforcing member 149 inserted therein may be used. As the reinforcing member 149 for improving the internal pressure of the inner insulation panel 141, in addition to the plate shape, the reinforcing member provided with a lattice-like reinforcing member, the reinforcing member provided with a sinusoidal concave-convex portion, the reinforcing member provided with a triangular wave-shaped concave-convex portion, honey Various shapes such as comb-shaped reinforcing members may be used.

The kitchen wall 160 has a plurality of wrinkles 161 protruding toward the inner heat insulating layer 140. The wrinkle part 161 is to impart in-plane stiffness to the kitchen wall 160 and serves to reduce thermal stress by being deformed when heat shrinkage of the kitchen wall 160 occurs. The plurality of wrinkles 161 are not accommodated in the storage space by being accommodated in the plurality of receiving grooves 143 of the inner heat insulating layer 140. Thus, less pressure due to slushing of the cryogenic liquid reduces the risk of breakage. The cross-sectional shape of the wrinkle portion 161 and the receiving groove 143 for accommodating the same may be a variety of shapes, such as semi-circular, semi-elliptic, or polygonal.

As shown in FIG. 14, the pleats 161 are provided with a flow resistor 162 for reducing the flow rate of the cryogenic liquid stored in the storage space and reducing the impact. The flow resistor 162 is fixed by a plurality of fixing pins 163 fixed to the kitchen wall 160.

Various forms of attenuation can be used.

In addition to the shock absorbing function of the fluid, the flow resistor 162 may be used as a means for identifying a part where the impact pressure of the fluid is mainly generated. That is, when the liquid storage tank 100 is used for a predetermined time and the deformation or breakage form of the flow resistor 162 or the installation position of the flow resistor 162 where the deformation or breakage has occurred is investigated, the fluid shock pressure is increased at any part of the tank. You can check to see if it occurs mainly. The flow resistor 162 may be installed at various positions on the upper surface of the kitchen wall 160 other than the pleats 161.

In the cryogenic liquid storage tank 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the pleating portion 161 of the kitchen wall 160 directly contacting the cryogenic liquid is recessed toward the tank inner wall 105, so that the cryogenic liquid is slushed.
