Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a liquefied natural gas storage tank and its impact reducing apparatus, and more particularly to an apparatus for supporting a load of a liquefied natural gas storage tank and reducing a sloshing impact of the liquefied natural gas storage tank .
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a colorless transparent liquid with a volume reduced to 1/600 by cooling methane-based natural gas to -163 ° C. Storage tanks that store cryogenic LNG are very important. LNG storage tanks are made of cryogenic structures and materials for the liquefaction of natural gas. In the design of such an LNG storage tank, it is important to prevent boiling of liquefied natural gas due to heat transfer from the outside and to prevent leakage of liquefied natural gas.
The LNG storage tank is formed of a double-sealed structure including, for example, a primary barrier, an inner insulation panel, a secondary barrier, and an external insulation panel. The primary barrier contacts the LNG to seal the LNG first. The secondary barrier functions to seal the leaked LNG to prevent the LNG from touching the inner hull when the LNG leaks from the primary barrier. The external insulating panels of liquefied natural gas are attached to the inner hull by epoxy mastic.
Such an insulation panel may be provided with a sloshing impact due to the liquefied natural gas contained in the primary barrier. Particularly, when the cargo hold is enlarged in recent years, when such sloshing impacts are transmitted between the epoxy mastics disposed at mutually spaced intervals, bending stress is generated in the heat insulating panel, thereby causing a problem that the heat insulating panel is damaged.
An object of the present invention is to provide an impact reduction device for a liquefied natural gas storage tank having excellent load bearing and shock absorbing performance of a liquefied natural gas storage tank and a liquefied natural gas storage tank having the same .
The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems. Other technical subjects not mentioned will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the description below.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an impact reduction device for a liquefied natural gas storage tank, comprising: a heat insulation panel installed between a primary barrier of the liquefied natural gas storage tank and an inner hull of the ship; And a first support member provided between the inner hull and the heat insulating panel to support the heat insulating panel, wherein the first support member includes a metal sponge structure.
The metal sponge structure can support the heat insulating panel with respect to the inner hull by contacting the upper surface of the metal sponge structure with the side of the heat insulating panel and the lower surface contacting with the inner hull side.
The impact reducing device of the liquefied natural gas storage tank may further include a second support member installed between the inner hull and the heat insulating panel to support the heat insulating panel, have.
Wherein the impact reducing device of the liquefied natural gas storage tank further comprises a wedge member provided between the inner hull and the heat insulating panel and the second support member comprises a lower flat portion ; An inclined portion extending upwardly from the periphery of the lower flat portion; And an upper flat portion extending in the horizontal direction from the periphery of the inclined portion, wherein the upper flat portion can be coupled between the wedge member and the heat insulating panel.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a liquefied natural gas comprising: a primary barrier that primarily seals liquefied natural gas; A secondary barrier formed between the primary barrier and the inner hull; An inner heat insulating panel formed between the primary barrier and the secondary barrier; And an external heat insulating panel formed between the inner hull and the secondary barrier, the liquefied natural gas storage tank further comprising a first support member formed between the inner hull and the outer heat insulating panel, There is provided a liquefied natural gas storage tank including a metal sponge structure.
The metal sponge structure may support the liquefied natural gas storage tank with respect to the inner hull while at the same time mitigating the impact of the liquefied natural gas storage tank.
The liquefied natural gas storage tank may further include a second support member installed between the inner hull and the outer heat insulating panel to support the liquefied natural gas storage tank, have.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, load bearing and shock absorbing performance of the liquefied natural gas storage tank can be secured at the same time.
