1 is a partial perspective view of a liquefied gas storage tank according to the present invention.

The liquefied gas storage tank 1 of the present invention is mounted on a hull (not shown). In this case, the liquefied gas storage tank 1 may be of a membrane type in which the bulkhead structure of the hull forms the outer wall 21 of the tank, or may be an independent type in which the liquefied gas storage tank 1 is introduced into the hull internal space.

The type of the liquefied gas storage tank (1) is not particularly limited, and the position at which the liquefied gas storage tank (1) is mounted on the hull (inboard or outboard such as the upper deck) is also not limited. However, the liquefied gas storage tank 1 of the present invention may have a structure in which a heat insulating layer is disposed in an inner direction.

For reference, in this specification, the liquefied gas storage tank 1 will be described assuming that it is a membrane type in which a heat insulating layer is directly constructed on the bulkhead of the hull. However, it should be noted that the liquefied gas storage tank 1 may be provided as an independent type, and the expression hull in the following may be interpreted by replacing the outer body of the liquefied gas storage tank 1 .

The liquefied gas storage tank 1 has a storage space. Liquefied gas may be stored in the storage space, and the liquefied gas may be LNG. Hereinafter, it will be described assuming that the liquefied gas is LNG, but in the present invention, the liquefied gas is forced to liquefy for storage because its boiling point is lower than room temperature, in addition to LNG, and encompasses all substances (LPG, ethane, hydrogen, ammonia, etc.) can do.

The storage space of the liquefied gas storage tank (1) may form a closed space surrounded by the wall (10). However, an opening (not shown) is provided on the upper surface of the wall 10 for the inflow and outflow of the liquefied gas, and a dome 20 is installed in the opening. That is, the liquefied gas storage tank 1 may include a wall 10 and a dome 20 .

For reference, in this specification, the inside means the direction toward the inside of the space in which the liquefied gas is stored, and the outside means the opposite direction.

The primary barrier 11 forms a storage space for accommodating the liquefied gas. The primary barrier 11 may be made of a metal material to suppress brittle fracture caused by low-temperature liquefied gas, and is made of, for example, SUS, INVAR, or the like.

In addition, in order to prepare for sloshing in the primary barrier 11, a corrugated or uneven structure may be formed. As these primary barriers 11 are overlapped with each other and sealed by welding or the like, the entire storage space (except the dome 20 part) is made into a closed space.

The primary barrier 11 has a function as a barrier to prevent leakage of liquefied gas. In addition, since the secondary barrier 13 to be described later also serves as a barrier for preventing leakage of the liquefied gas, the liquefied gas storage tank 1 of the present invention has a structure that at least doubles the leakage prevention.

The secondary barrier 13 may be made of the same/similar metal material as the primary barrier 11 , or may be made of a material different from that of the primary barrier 11 . For example, the secondary barrier 13 may be formed of a composite sheet in which a glass fiber sheet is laminated on both sides of a metal sheet or, conversely, a composite sheet in which a metal sheet is laminated on both sides of the glass fiber sheet. Alternatively, the secondary barrier 13 may be made of a metal material such as SUS or INVAR.

The secondary barrier 13 may be laminated on the secondary thermal insulation wall 14 . However, in order to seal the gap between the secondary insulating walls 14, a separate secondary barrier 13 is stacked, and the secondary barrier 13 on the secondary insulating wall 14 is made of a relatively rigid material and , the secondary barrier 13 between the secondary insulating walls 14 may be made of a relatively flexible material in preparation for contraction and expansion.

In this case, the reinforcement 211 may be disposed between the trunk deck and the upper wall 22 of the hull. Of course, when the height of the outer wall 21 extending between the trunk deck and the upper wall 22 is not high, the reinforcing material 211 may be omitted, and the trunk deck may serve as the reinforcing material 211 .

The upper wall 22 is supported by the outer wall 21 and at least a part of the dome cover is seated thereon. The upper wall 22 may be configured to be vertically fixed to the upper end of the outer wall 21 , and may be provided horizontally and parallel to the wall 10 constituting the upper surface of the storage space.

The upper wall 22 may be provided in a shape protruding to the outside of the outer wall 21 , and a dome cover may be inserted therein. In addition, the width of the upper wall 22 may be provided to be at least equal to or greater than the thickness of the wall 10 , thereby covering the insulating spaces of the wall 10 .

The outer end of the upper wall 22 is provided to protrude outward compared to the outer wall 21, and a vertical web member (not shown), etc. is provided between the upper wall 22 and the reinforcing material 211 to increase structural strength. .

The first step removing means 221 may be a structure having a U-shape consisting of an upper surface and a lower surface and a vertical surface therebetween, and the upper surface may be superimposed on the inner end of the upper wall 22 and fixed.

However, since the height of the primary step removing means 221 may be greater than the thickness of the upper wall 22, the fixing end 222 is provided to firmly fix the first step removing means 221 to the inner end of the upper wall 22. can be used The fixed end 222 extends downward from the inner end of the upper wall 22 , so that both the upper and lower surfaces of the first step removing means 221 are fixed to the upper wall 22 .

The support 23 extends downward from the upper wall 22 outside the outer wall 21 and inside. The support 23 is used to separate the inner insulation space IBS of the secondary barrier 13 and the outer insulation space IS of the secondary barrier 13 when covering the insulation spaces through the upper wall 22 . can

The support 23 is connected to the secondary barrier 13 through a connection barrier 24 to be described later, and the outer insulating space of the secondary barrier 13 communicates with the outside of the support 23 and the secondary barrier 13 The inner insulation space of the is communicated with the inner side of the support (23). However, since the upper end of the support 23 is fixed to the upper wall 22 , the support 23 divides the insulating space in the inner and outer directions.

The support 23 has a vertical portion 231 and an inclined portion 232 . The vertical portion 231 is provided to extend downward from the lower surface of the upper wall 22 . At this time, the vertical portion 231 is provided parallel to the secondary barrier 13 from the outside compared to the secondary barrier 13 and is provided parallel to the outer wall 21 from the inside compared to the outer wall 21 .

In order to secure a stable structure when the dome cover through which various lines pass is seated on the dome coaming 20a , the support 23 may extend downward from the upper wall 22 at a point outside the secondary barrier 13 .

Specifically, the inclined portion 232 is provided to be inclined inwardly from the lower end of the vertical portion 231 downward, and the inclination angle forms an acute angle compared to the case where the vertical portion 231 is further extended.

The inclined portion 232 extends to a point adjacent to the secondary barrier 13, but the lower end of the inclined portion 232 and the secondary heat insulating wall 14 are disposed to be spaced apart in the vertical direction to prevent mutual interference during installation. can be prevented The extent to which the inclined portion 232 extends downward may be determined according to the material (particularly, the degree to which it can be bent) of the connection barrier 24 to be described later.

A connection barrier 24 may be fixed to the inner surface of the inclined portion 232 , and an inner heat insulating material 26 may be fixed thereto. Conversely, the outer surface of the inclined portion 232 is provided with an outer insulating material 25, which will be described later.

For reference, it should be noted that the expression "bent" in the present specification includes not only forming a curved surface without forming a vertex, but also bending to form a vertex.

Although the connection barrier 24 is made of a relatively flexible material and can be provided to be bent, when the degree of curvature of the connection barrier 24 reaches a right angle, stress may be concentrated at the curved corner of the connection barrier 24 . In addition, there is also a risk that the connection barrier 24 itself is torn. Moreover, when the dome coaming 20a forms a polygonal column, it becomes very difficult to join the connecting barrier 24 at the corner portion.

Therefore, in the present invention, the support 23 is provided with the inclined portion 232, so that the degree of bending of the connection barrier 24 does not reach a right angle but forms an acute angle, and the stress is concentrated on a specific part in the connection barrier 24 can be prevented from becoming

The outer insulating material 25 may be divided into at least two or more in consideration of construction efficiency, etc., may be integrated after construction, and may be partially made of different materials. For example, the outer portion of the support 24 of the outer insulation 25 may be provided with glass wool, and the lower portion of the support 24 of the outer insulation 25 may be provided with polyurethane foam or the like.

The inner surface of the outer part of the support 24 of the outer heat insulating material 25 has a vertical surface and an inclined surface corresponding to the support 23 .

That is, in the portion where the support 23 and the secondary insulation wall 14 are spaced apart, the outer insulation 25 has a shape that protrudes inward compared to the inclined portion 232 so as to support the bent portion of the connection barrier 24 . It may have, and may be provided in a form divided into two or more for efficiency of construction, etc.

The inner surface of the secondary step removing means 236 is provided to support the connection barrier 24 while in contact with the connection barrier 24 . At this time, the connecting barrier 24 is made not to be joined to the inner surface of the second step removing means 236, so the connecting barrier 24 on the inner surface of the second step removing means 236 is the second step removing means 236 and Can be independently contracted/expanded.

In addition, since the connection barrier 24 of this embodiment is fixed to the upper surface rather than the inner surface of the secondary step removing means 236, the inner surface of the second step removing means 236 must be parallel to the secondary barrier 13 there is no

That is, the second step canceling means 236 is to secure sealing performance by more smoothly fixing the connection barrier 24 compared to the bent portion 233, and the inner surface of the second step canceling means 236 is 2 It may be provided to be relatively parallel to the secondary barrier 13 or to be deflected inward or outward compared to the secondary barrier 13 to the extent that it does not significantly affect sealing.

At this time, the degree to which the sealing has a great influence is that the connection barrier 24 is bent or bent due to the step between the second barrier 13 and the inner surface of the second step canceling means 236, thereby significantly affecting the structural strength. It may mean that it affects

The connection barrier 24 is made of a bendable material, even if the inner surface of the secondary step removing means 236 is slightly deflected in the outward and outward direction compared to the secondary barrier 13, so the secondary barrier 13 and the secondary step difference After being slightly biased inward or outward between the resolving means 236 , it may come into contact with the inner surface of the secondary step removing means 236 and be fixed to the upper surface of the second step removing means 236 .

Hereinafter, the corner step removing means 28 and the connection barrier 24 at the corner of the dome 20 will be described based on FIGS. 11 and 12 .

11 and 12 , the support 23 may have an inner surface facing the storage space, and an upper surface bent from the inner surface and extending outward, and the connection barrier 24 provided at the edge of the dome 20 is , as the corner barrier 27 , it may include a corner main barrier 271 , a corner auxiliary barrier 272 , and a corner finishing barrier 273 .

Specifically, at the corner of the dome 20, a corner step removing means 28 is provided on the support 23, and the corner step removing means 28 faces the storage space but has an outwardly convex inner surface, and is bent from the inner surface to the outside , and may have upper and lower surfaces having a relatively L-shape. That is, at least three barrier sheets are provided in the corner step resolution means 28 of the support 23 disposed at the corner, and at least two barrier sheets may be overlapped with each other.

At this time, the corner barrier 27 may be finished while the corner main barrier 271 and the corner auxiliary barrier 272 are stacked on the corner step difference resolving means 28 so as not to overlap each other, and then the corner closing barrier 273 is stacked. .

Specifically, the corner main barrier 271 covers the inner surface of the support 23 (in the part describing the corner barrier 27 in this specification, the support 23 can be interpreted as a corner step resolving means 28). to be prepared. In addition, the corner main barrier 271 may be bent or bent to have a cross-section of an L similar to the connection barrier 24 described above, thereby covering a portion of the upper surface of the support 23 . In particular, the corner main barrier 271 is provided to cover a peripheral portion other than the corner of the upper surface of the support 23 .

The corner auxiliary barrier 272 may be provided to cover the upper surface of the support 23 . The corner main barrier 271 covers the inner surface of the support 23 and a portion of the upper surface of the support 23 (peripheral portions other than the corner) in the corner region of the dome 20, while the corner auxiliary barrier 272 is the dome 20 ) may cover the remaining portion (edge portion) of the upper surface of the support 23 in the corner region. That is, the corner main barrier 271 and the corner auxiliary barrier 272 are arranged to face on the surface of the support 23 (which may not overlap each other), so that the inner surface and the upper surface of the support 23 at the edge of the dome 20 are separated. can cover

In this embodiment, a corner auxiliary barrier 272 is provided as a separate configuration in addition to the corner main barrier 271 , which is to prevent a three-dimensional curved shape from being formed in the corner main barrier 271 .

That is, as shown in the figure, the corner main barrier 271 does not extend upward from the corner portion of the dome 20 to the portion in contact with the inner surface of the support 23 , and supports both sides of the dome 20 other than the corner. Only the portion in contact with the inner surface of (23) extends upward and has an outwardly bent shape to form a two-dimensional curved shape. That is, the corner main barrier 271 may be provided to cover a peripheral portion other than the corner among the bent portions between the inner surface and the upper surface of the support 23 . For reference, the corner portion of the bent portion between the inner surface and the upper surface of the support 23 means a bent portion between the convex portion outwardly from the inner surface of the support 23 and the upper surface of the support 23 .

Therefore, the corner main barrier 271 is formed in a shape having only a flat surface and a two-dimensional curved surface, so that the primary sealing between the support 23 and the secondary barrier 13 can be stably implemented, and the convenience of manufacturing and construction is greatly improved. can do it The corner main barrier 271 has a lower end fixed to the secondary barrier 13 and curved outward while surrounding the inner surface of the support 23, as described in the connection barrier 24 above, and the upper surface of the support 23 can be fixed to

In particular, as the corner main barrier 271 has a shape that does not cover the corner portion of the upper surface of the support 23, the upper portion of the corner main barrier 271 may be configured as a pair as shown in the figure, and a pair of upper portions may be respectively fixed to the upper surface of the support 23 by bending outwardly away from each other based on the corner portion.

On the other hand, the corner auxiliary barrier 272 is provided to cover the corner portion of the upper surface of the support 23 , and also to cover the corner portion of the bent portion between the inner surface and the upper surface of the support 23 . That is, the corner auxiliary barrier 272 may have a three-dimensional curved shape to cover the corner portion at the bent portion of the support 23 . However, since the primary sealing is implemented by the corner main barrier 271 without a three-dimensional curved surface, efficient sealing can be implemented even if the three-dimensional curved surface is applied to the corner auxiliary barrier 272 .

The corner closing barrier 273 may overlap the corner main barrier 271 and the corner auxiliary barrier 272 to form a seal. The corner finishing barrier 273 may be provided to cover both the corner portion and the peripheral portion of the bent portion between the inner surface and the upper surface of the support 23 .

The corner finishing barrier 273 may have a form in which a two-dimensional curved surface and a three-dimensional curved surface are compounded, and may cover and seal between the corner main barrier 271 and the corner auxiliary barrier 272 arranged to face each other.

At the edge of the dome 20, between the support 23 and the secondary barrier 13 will be mainly sealed by the corner main barrier 271, so the corner finishing barrier 273 includes a three-dimensional curved surface that is somewhat difficult to manufacture. Even if there is, sealing of the liquefied gas can be sufficiently implemented.

That is, between the support 23 and the secondary barrier 13 is sealed with a corner main barrier 271 made of only a flat surface and a two-dimensional curved surface, and a corner auxiliary barrier 272 composed of a flat surface and a three-dimensional curved surface is a corner main barrier 271 ) and adhered to the support 23 . Thereafter, the corner finishing barrier 273, which is a combination of a flat surface, a two-dimensional curved surface, and a three-dimensional curved surface, covers the corner main barrier 271 and the corner auxiliary barrier 272, thereby supporting 23 and 2 at the corner of the dome 20. Between the car barriers 13 can be completely sealed.

As such, in this embodiment, the second step canceling means 236 is provided to make the sealing of the connection barrier 24 more smoothly, but the connection barrier 24 is formed in a L-shape so that the second step canceling means 236 is The inner surface is abutted without adhesion and is fixed to the upper surface of the secondary step removing means 236, so that parallelism between the second step removing means 236 and the secondary barrier 13 is not strictly required to increase manufacturing efficiency. can

In addition, this embodiment can ensure the sealing performance at the corner by laminating the corner main barrier 271, the corner auxiliary barrier 272, the corner finishing barrier 273, etc. with respect to the corner step removing means 28 at the corner. have.

13 is a perspective view of a corner step removing means of a liquefied gas storage tank according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is an exploded perspective view of a corner barrier of a liquefied gas storage tank according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention.

13 and 14, in the liquefied gas storage tank 1 according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention, as the shape of the support 23 at the edge of the dome 20 changes, the corner barrier 27 This may be different from the previous eighth embodiment.

The support 23 is provided such that a corner portion of the bent portion between the inner surface and the upper surface protrudes inward to form the protrusion 281 . In this case, the corner portion of the bent portion may mean a bent portion between the convex portion outwardly from the inner surface of the support 23 and the upper surface of the support 23 as mentioned in the previous embodiment.

That is, in this embodiment, the three-dimensional curved portion included in the corner auxiliary barrier 272 in the previous embodiment may be replaced by the support 23 . In this case, the protrusion 281 protruding from the support 23 may have a thickness in consideration of the height at which the corner auxiliary barrier 272 is stacked (including the height of the adhesive layer for fixing the corner auxiliary barrier 272 ).

At this time, the corner main barrier 271 is provided to cover a peripheral portion other than the corner among the bent portions between the inner surface and the upper surface of the support 23, as in the previous embodiment, and has a shape made of a flat surface and a two-dimensional curved surface.

On the other hand, the corner auxiliary barrier 272 is provided not to cover the bent portion between the inner surface and the upper surface of the support 23 , unlike the previous embodiment, and may have a planar shape covering only the upper surface of the support 23 .

In this embodiment, except for the corner finishing barrier 273, the three-dimensional curved surface is not formed for the corner main barrier 271 and the corner auxiliary barrier 272 that are directly attached to the support 23, so that the sealing performance It is possible to further increase and improve the ease of manufacture / construction of the corner barrier 27, durability, and the like.

As such, in this embodiment, by applying the protrusion 281 to the bent portion in the corner step resolving means 28, the corner auxiliary barrier 272 is configured only in a flat surface, and the production of the corner auxiliary barrier 272 and the like Construction can be made very convenient, and sealing reliability can be maximized during lamination.

15 is a partial cross-sectional view of a liquefied gas storage tank according to a tenth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 15 , in the liquefied gas storage tank 1 according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention, a corrugation portion 24b may be formed in the connection barrier 24 compared to the eighth embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 6 . .

The connection barrier 24 of this embodiment is made of a mixed material of metal and non-metal, etc., and the connection barrier 24 made of such a composite material may include a flat portion 24a and a wrinkle portion 24b.

The flat portion 24a is a portion such as the lower end laminated on the secondary barrier 13 and the upper end laminated on the support 23 (especially the secondary step difference removing means 236), and the secondary barrier 13 by adhesion or the like. In order to be fixed to the support 23 or to surround the second step removing means 236 , it may be provided parallel to the inner surface of the second barrier 13 and the second step removing means 236 , respectively.

The pleats 24b are provided in at least a portion between the flat portions 24a. The wrinkle portion 24b may have a shape in which it protrudes or sinks in an outward and outward direction between the secondary barrier 13 and the support 23 . That is, the wrinkle portion 24b may be a portion formed by bending or bending the connection barrier 24 made of a composite material, and the thickness of the wrinkle portion 24b may be the same as the thickness of the flat portion 24a.

That is, the wrinkled portion 24b may be bent similarly to the wrinkled structure in the primary barrier 11, and when the wrinkled portion 24b is processed flat, the distance between the flat portions 24a (secondary barrier 13) and the gap between the secondary step removing means 236) may have a greater height.

Of course, the wrinkle portion 24b may have an uneven structure in which the thickness is partially thinned or thickened, and it is also possible to combine the curved or bent shape described above and the unevenness of which the thickness is changed.

The corrugated portion 24b is to absorb the support 23 provided in the dome 20, etc. when the mutual spacing between the wall 10 in contact with the liquefied gas changes due to the storage of the cryogenic liquefied gas. That is, the wrinkle portion 24b is provided to prepare for the occurrence of contraction or expansion that shifts upward in the secondary barrier 13 based on the support 23, and the wrinkle portion 24b is provided. Accordingly, the connection barrier 24 of the present embodiment can be prepared for contraction and expansion more flexibly.

That is, the wrinkle portion 24b is configured to be folded or unfolded finely between the flat portions 24a when the flat portion 24a is fixed to the secondary barrier 13 and the support 23, respectively, and the support In contrast to (23), even if the height of the upper secondary barrier 13 changes, the connection barrier 24 smoothly maintains the sealed state.

To this end, the connection barrier 24 is provided to have the wrinkle portion 24b in the state before the liquefied gas is stored in the receiving space or before being contracted due to the cryogenic liquefied gas. That is, the connection barrier 24 may have the corrugated portion 24b in a wrinkled state even before contraction, and the corrugated portion 24b may be deformed to be relatively more corrugated when liquefied gas is stored.

Of course, the corrugated portion 24b is provided in a structure that can be corrugated, and can form a relatively flat surface before storing the liquefied gas, and it is also possible to be deformed so as to be wrinkled during storage of the liquefied gas.

The entire wrinkle portion 24b may have a shape protruding outward toward the hull compared to the flat portion 24a. In this case, the finished insulating wall 12a laminated inside the connection barrier 24 may form a flat surface with an outer surface facing the connection barrier 24 .

On the other hand, in the case of the outer insulating material 25 filled between the secondary insulating wall 14 and the support 23 , the shape may be different from that of the eighth embodiment due to the application of the wrinkle part 24b.

The outer heat insulating material 25 may have a shape protruding inward between the support 23 and the secondary heat insulating wall 14. In the outer heat insulating material 25, the inner surface closest to the storage space is a secondary step difference solving means. It is arranged to be biased outward than the inner surface of 236 .

The inner surface of the secondary step removing means 236 and the secondary barrier 13 may be disposed on the same plane for sealing the connection barrier 24, and in the eighth embodiment, the innermost inner surface of the outer heat insulating material 25 While also disposed on the same plane as the inner surface of the secondary step removing means 236, in the present embodiment, the innermost inner surface of the outer heat insulating material 25 is deflected outward. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a recessed portion 25a for accommodating the wrinkle portion 24b may be formed between the secondary step removing means 236 and the secondary heat insulating wall 14 .

In addition, in this embodiment, since the wrinkle portion 24b is applied to the connecting barrier 24 , the lower flat portion 24a fixed to the secondary barrier 13 and the secondary step removing means 236 of the support 23 . It is also possible that the upper flat portion 24a in contact with the inner surface of the is deflected in the inner and outer directions. In this case, the inner surface of the secondary step removing means 236 and the secondary barrier 13 may not be arranged on the same plane but may be arranged in parallel, but as the connecting barrier 24 is provided with the wrinkle portion 24b, 2 The sealing between the vehicle barrier 13 and the support 23 can be sufficiently ensured.

In addition, the recessed portion 25a formed by arranging the inner surface of the outer insulation 25 to be biased outward may be applied to the finished insulation wall 12a according to the shape of the wrinkle portion 24b. That is, when at least a portion of the wrinkled portion 24b protrudes inward toward the receiving space compared to the flat portion 24a, the outer surface of the finished heat insulating wall 12a protrudes inward than the flat portion 24a of the wrinkled portion 24b. A depression (not shown) may be provided in order to accommodate the married couple.

As such, in this embodiment, by applying the wrinkle portion 24b to the connection barrier 24 containing a non-metal material, the height of the secondary barrier 13 is changed based on the support 23 when storing liquefied gas. In this case, it is possible to stably maintain the sealing force while the connection barrier 24 contracts/expands.

In addition, in this embodiment, the outer heat insulating material 25 forms the recessed portion 25a so that the wrinkled portion 24b is accommodated between the second step difference canceling means 236 and the second heat insulating wall 14, so that the wrinkled portion The wrinkle shape of (24b) can be ensured more freely.
