Description

Corner structure of liquefied gas insulation system {Corner structure of liquefied gas insulation system}

The present invention relates to a corner structure of a liquefied gas insulation system built inside a liquefied gas storage tank for airtight storage of cryogenic liquefied gas. More specifically, the present invention relates to the upper part of the insulation layer composed of polyurethane foam-based insulation material. This relates to the corner structure of a liquefied gas insulation system in which double metal barriers are installed continuously.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is obtained by cooling natural gas to a cryogenic temperature of approximately -163°C. Its volume is reduced to approximately 1/600 of that in gaseous form, making it very suitable for long-distance transportation by sea. Suitable.

Structures for transporting or storing LNG, such as LNG carriers (LNGCs) that transport LNG at sea and unload it at land destinations, have specially designed storage tanks (commonly referred to as 'cargo holds') to withstand the extremely low temperatures of LNG. ) is installed.

In general, in order to safely store cryogenic LNG, LNG storage tanks are composed of an insulation system consisting of one or more barriers made of metal membranes and an insulation layer surrounding the barrier. Depending on whether the load of the cargo acts directly on the insulation, the membrane type can be used. It can be divided into (membrane type) and independent type.

A membrane-type storage tank is a tank manufactured as one piece with the hull structure. It has a double seal structure (or double insulation structure) in which the secondary insulation layer, secondary barrier, primary insulation layer, and primary barrier are sequentially stacked on the inner wall of the hull. An insulation system is constructed. Representative membrane-type storage tanks include GTT's NO 96 type and MARK Ⅲ type.

The NO 96 type storage tank consists of insulation boxes filled with insulation materials such as perlite powder or glass wool inside a plywood box, and the primary and secondary insulation layers are composed of each It is a structure in which an invar steel (36% nickel steel) membrane with a thickness of 0.5 to 0.7 mm is installed on the top of the insulation layer to form a barrier.

The NO 96 type storage tank has almost the same level of liquid tightness and strength as the primary barrier and the secondary barrier, so when the primary barrier leaks, the secondary barrier alone can safely support the cargo for a considerable period of time. It is composed of an insulated box. The advantage is that the insulation layer can have high compressive strength and rigidity, and the automation rate of welding is high.

The MARK Ⅲ type storage tank consists of primary and secondary insulation layers made of insulation panels made by attaching wood plywood to the upper and lower surfaces of polyurethane foam (PUF), with a thickness of approximately 1.2 mm on top of the primary insulation layer. A thick stainless steel (SUS) membrane is installed to form a primary barrier, and a composite material called triplex is installed on top of the secondary insulation layer to form a secondary barrier.

The MARK Ⅲ type storage tank is advantageous in terms of BOR (Boil-Off Rate) due to the excellent insulation effect of the insulation panel based on polyurethane foam insulation, but is vulnerable to thermal deformation or hull deformation due to the flexible nature of the insulation panel. has Therefore, it is difficult to apply the Invar steel membrane with a low heat contraction coefficient used in the NO 96 type to the MARK Ⅲ type storage tank. Instead, it has a structure that absorbs heat shrinkage deformation by forming a primary barrier with a stainless steel membrane with corrugated corrugations.

In addition, the stainless steel membrane with corrugations has a protruding structure, making it difficult to install between the first and second insulation layers. Therefore, in the current MARK Ⅲ type storage tank, the secondary barrier is called a triplex instead of a metal membrane. It is composed of composite materials. However, the MARK III type storage tank in which the secondary barrier is composed of a triplex composite material has the disadvantage of being vulnerable to watertightness compared to the insulation system in which both the primary and secondary barriers are composed of metal barriers.

In the above, the insulation system in which the insulation layer consists of insulation boxes, such as the NO 96 type storage tank, is called a box type insulation system. In distinction from this, the insulation layer is based on polyurethane foam insulation, such as the MARK Ⅲ type storage tank. An insulation system composed of one insulation panel is also called a panel type insulation system.

Meanwhile, the insulation layer is made up of insulation panels made based on polyurethane foam insulation, which basically takes a panel-type structure, but instead of installing a barrier between the first and second insulation layers, two barriers are built in succession over the entire insulation layer. The KC-1 insulation system has been developed and is known. The specific structure of the KC-1 insulation system is clearly shown in Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-0644217 (November 10, 2006).

However, the KC-1 insulation system has a risk in that the insulation panels that make up the insulation layer are not connected. The KC-1 insulation system, in which the insulation panels are not connected to each other, may have the disadvantage of panel-type insulation systems being vulnerable to thermal deformation or hull deformation.

In addition, the KC-1 insulation system is structurally very vulnerable to external deformation because the members installed between the first and second barriers are connected to the inner wall of the hull, and heat loss through the connection with the hull is also significant, which is a fatal problem. There is a downside.

Meanwhile, in LNG storage tanks, corners in particular are areas where asymmetrical loads are applied due to the structural characteristics and are particularly subject to impacts from sloshing. In order to withstand this, a flexible design is required to ensure that stress is not concentrated in a local location while being structurally strong. It is required.

The existing MARK Ⅲ type storage tank is designed with a structure in which the barriers are connected in an 'L' shape so that the barriers installed at the corners are connected and sealed, and in the NO 96 type storage tank, the '#' barriers installed at the corners are designed to be connected and sealed. The structure is being designed in a form where the barrier is connected by a ruler-shaped invatube. In the case of the KC-1 insulation system, a fairly heavy and strong structure is provided at the corner to connect and seal the barrier. This structure is directly connected to the inner wall of the hull and is a major cause of cold spots. .

The present invention seeks to present a new type of liquefied gas insulation system that can take advantage of both the panel-type insulation system, which has excellent insulation performance, and the double metal barrier structure, which is strong against water and is structurally advantageous.

In other words, the present invention enables the application of a double metal barrier structure to a panel-type insulation system that is advantageous in terms of BOR by applying a polyurethane foam-based insulation material, thereby providing superior performance compared to existing products in terms of both insulation performance and structural stability. The purpose is to provide an improved liquefied gas insulation system that can be equipped.

In addition, the present invention relates to the shape of the barrier fixing part installed at the corner of the storage tank when the pitch intervals of the primary wrinkles formed in the primary barrier and the secondary wrinkles formed in the secondary barrier are designed differently and are arranged misaligned. Another technical task is to provide a corner structure of the liquefied gas insulation system that simplifies the fastening method and enables easy response to heat shrinkage load.

And a primary corner steel installed on the upper side of the secondary corner steel for connecting and fixing the primary barrier installed on each of the two inner walls, wherein the secondary wrinkles and the primary wrinkles are spaced apart from each other. Formed differently, the secondary corner steel is arranged separately in units of intervals of the secondary wrinkles, and the primary corner steel is arranged separately in units of intervals of the primary wrinkles. A liquefied gas insulation system, characterized in that A corner structure may be provided.

The secondary wrinkles protrude toward the outside of the storage tank, and a secondary angle piece including a wrinkle protruding toward the outside of the storage tank is installed to connect the secondary wrinkles at the corner portion, The secondary wrinkles and the wrinkles of the secondary angle piece may be accommodated within the gap between the secondary corner steel adjacent to each other.

The gap between the secondary corner steels that are adjacent to each other may be formed to be at least equal to or larger than the width of the secondary wrinkles.

The primary wrinkle protrudes toward the inner direction of the storage tank, and a primary angle piece including a wrinkle protruding toward the inner direction of the storage tank is installed to connect the primary wrinkles at the corner portion, and are connected to each other. Gaps between neighboring primary corner steels may be formed at positions corresponding to the primary wrinkles and the wrinkles of the primary angle piece.

The corner structure of the liquefied gas insulation system according to one aspect of the present invention includes a stud protruding from one of the secondary corner steel and the primary corner steel; And it may further include a fastening hole formed in the other one of the secondary corner steel and the primary corner steel and fastened to the stud, wherein at least some of the fastening holes allow the stud to slide within the fastening area. It can be provided as a long hole type with a length larger than the diameter of the stud.

The remaining part of the fastening holes are provided as a general type having a shape corresponding to the diameter of the stud, and the fastening holes of the general type and the fastening holes of the long hole type are repeated in a certain pattern along the extension direction of the corner portion. You can.

In addition, the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention realizes double airtightness by a double metal barrier continuously installed on the upper part of the insulation layer, so the disadvantage of the conventional MARK III storage tank being vulnerable to watertightness can be complemented, and thus excellent Not only does it have insulation performance, but it also ensures high reliability of the insulation system.

The liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention has a structure in which a plurality of insulation panels arranged in succession are connected by a bridge panel, so that the insulation layer can behave flexibly against thermal deformation or hull deformation, and a double barrier installed on the top of the insulation layer. And since the support members between the barriers have a structure that is not connected to the hull, heat intrusion from the outside can be minimized.

In addition, the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention is characterized in that the wrinkles formed on the primary barrier protrude toward the inside of the storage tank, and the wrinkles formed on the secondary barrier protrude toward the hull outside the storage tank. According to the structure of the present invention, interference due to wrinkles does not occur between the first and second barriers, so the structure or shape of the inter-barrier structure placed in the space can be simplified, and the installation structure of the inter-barrier structure As is greatly simplified, the constructability of the liquefied gas storage tank can be expected to be greatly improved and the total drying period can be shortened.

In addition, according to the corner structure of the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention, in a structure in which the wrinkle pitch intervals of the primary barrier and the secondary barrier arranged vertically and adjacent to each other are offset from each other, separate finishing treatment for the wrinkles is performed.

As described above, the present invention seeks to provide a liquefied gas insulation system in which a double metal barrier is installed on the upper part of an insulation layer based on a polyurethane foam-based insulation material. At this time, the double metal barrier is composed of a primary membrane that provides primary airtightness while in direct contact with the liquefied gas, and a secondary membrane that provides secondary airtightness when the primary barrier leaks. You can.

In addition, as the present invention uses an insulation panel with relatively flexible properties, it is intended to apply stainless steel or low-temperature steel with similar properties as the material for both the primary and secondary barriers, and each of the primary and secondary barriers includes We aim to create a structure that can absorb heat shrinkage caused by cryogenic liquefied gas by forming corrugations.

At this time, one can simply consider a method of forming the wrinkles formed on the primary barrier and the secondary barrier in an upward direction, that is, toward the inside of the storage tank, and this structure can be seen in Figure 1.

Referring to Figure 1, a secondary barrier 20 and a primary barrier 30 are sequentially placed on the top of the insulation layer 10, and between the secondary barrier 20 and the primary barrier 30, two barriers ( A spacer 40 is installed to support between 20 and 30 and space them apart at regular intervals. The secondary barrier 20 and the primary barrier 30 may be made of a membrane made of stainless steel, and may each include a plurality of wave-shaped wrinkles 21 and 31 formed to absorb heat shrinkage due to cryogenic temperatures. there is.

However, as shown in FIG. 1, both the secondary wrinkles 21 formed on the secondary barrier 20 and the primary wrinkles 31 formed on the primary barrier 30 are directed upward (inside the storage tank). If it is formed to face the direction (direction), interference due to the secondary wrinkles 21 occurs in the space between the secondary barrier 20 and the primary barrier 30, and this interference with the secondary wrinkles 21 In order to avoid this, the spacer 40 must be divided into multiple pieces and placed in the space between the secondary wrinkles 21.

That is, the spacer 40, which is installed as an inter-barrier structure to support and separate the primary barrier 30 and the secondary barrier 20, is adjusted to correspond to the space between the secondary wrinkles 21 formed in large numbers. Since it must be manufactured, it not only creates design constraints, but also increases the amount of materials and installation man-hours, which can reduce constructability.

In addition, the space between adjacent spacers 40 is a space where the secondary wrinkles 21 formed in the secondary barrier 20 should be placed, and can be left empty or left empty after the secondary wrinkles 21 are placed. You can consider inserting an insulating material such as glass wool into the space, but even if additional insulating material is installed, it is difficult to completely prevent heat loss due to convection through the space.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the wrinkles formed on the secondary barrier facing downward (outward direction of the storage tank) and the wrinkles formed on the primary barrier facing upward (inside direction of the storage tank). We would like to propose a liquefied gas insulation system with an improved structure that does not cause wrinkle interference in the space between the first and second barriers. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 19.

Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention includes an insulation layer 100 installed on the inner wall of the hull (H), a secondary barrier 200 installed continuously on the upper side of the insulation layer 100, and It may be configured to include a primary barrier 300. A supporting plywood 400 may be installed between the secondary barrier 200 and the primary barrier 300 as an inter-barrier structure to separate and support the two barriers 200 and 300.

As will be explained in more detail later, the secondary barrier 200 and the primary barrier 300 may each be composed of a stainless steel membrane, and may include a plurality of corrugated wrinkles 200c, which are formed to absorb heat contraction caused by cryogenic liquefied gas. 300c) may be included. The secondary wrinkles 200c formed on the secondary barrier 200 protrude downward, i.e. toward the outside of the storage tank, and the primary wrinkles 300c formed on the primary barrier 300 protrude upward, i.e. toward the outside of the storage tank. It may protrude in a direction toward the inside.

The insulation layer 100 has the main insulation function in this insulation system, that is, the function of preventing heat intrusion from the outside of the storage tank, and is made of an insulation material such as polyurethane foam or reinforced polyurethane foams (R-PUF). It may be composed of a plurality of insulation panels 110 and bridge panels 120 manufactured based on it.

The insulation panel 110 and bridge panel 120 that make up the insulation layer 100 include polyurethane foam or reinforced polyurethane foam insulation, and are made of plywood or fiber reinforcement to provide mechanical rigidity to the flexible insulation material. Materials such as plastics (Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP)) may be provided in a composite form.

More specifically, the insulation layer 100 includes an insulation panel 110 that is manufactured as a module with a roughly 'convex' cross-section including a lower insulation board 111 and an upper insulation board 112, and insulation adjacent to each other. It may include a bridge panel 120 disposed between the panels 110.

The specific structure of the insulation panel 110 can be seen in FIGS. 4 and 5. Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the insulation panel 110 may be provided in a form in which an upper insulation board 112 with a smaller cross-sectional area is stacked on top of a lower insulation board 111 having a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

The upper insulation board 112 may be fixed to the upper surface of the lower insulation board 111 by adhesive. At this time, the upper insulation board 112 may be arranged so that its center coincides with the lower insulation board 111, and therefore a portion of the upper edge of the lower insulation board 111 is exposed. The area exposed at the edge of the lower insulation board 111 is covered by a bridge panel 120, which will be described later. The length from each corner of the upper insulation board 112 to each corner of the lower insulation board 111 in the corresponding direction may be formed to be the same.

The lower insulation board 111 has a lower plate 111b made of plywood or fiber-reinforced plastic attached to the lower surface of the lower insulation 111i, which is manufactured by processing polyurethane foam or reinforced polyurethane foam insulation into a rectangular parallelepiped shape. can be provided. The lower plate 111b serves to provide mechanical rigidity to the lower insulating material 111i, which has flexible properties.

The upper insulation board 112 has an upper plate 112t made of plywood or fiber-reinforced plastic attached to the upper surface of the upper insulation 112i, which is manufactured by processing polyurethane foam or reinforced polyurethane foam insulation into an approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape. It can be provided in the form Here, the shape of the upper insulation board 112 is expressed as 'approximately' a rectangular parallelepiped because a receiving groove 112g is formed in the upper part of the upper insulation board 112 to accommodate the secondary wrinkles 200c, which will be described later. This is because it cannot be viewed as an exact cube.

Looking in detail at the processing form of the upper insulation board 112, a receiving groove 112g is formed in the upper part of the upper insulation board 112 to provide a space for receiving the secondary wrinkles 200c. A plurality of receiving grooves 112g are formed side by side at regular intervals in each direction along the longitudinal and width directions of the upper insulation board 112 in response to the secondary wrinkle 200c structure formed in the secondary barrier 200. It can be. Accordingly, a plurality of receiving grooves 112g are formed in a grid shape on the upper surface of the upper insulation board 112. The drawing shows that the receiving groove (112g) is processed into a 'V' shape, but it would also be possible to process the receiving groove (112g) into a 'U' shape to correspond to the shape of the secondary wrinkle 200c.

Additionally, the receiving groove 112g may include a chamfer shape formed along the upper edge of the upper insulation board 112. The receiving groove 112g formed in a chamfered shape on the upper edge of the upper insulation board 112 is located opposite to the receiving groove formed in a chamfered shape along the upper edge of the bridge panel 120, which will be described later, and provides a space between the two. A 'V' or 'U' shaped wrinkle receiving space may be formed in the space.

The upper plate 112t located at the top of the upper insulation board 112 can be divided into a plurality of segments by forming the receiving groove 112g. As will be described later, the flat portion of the secondary barrier 200 is placed on the upper plate 112t, and the secondary wrinkles 200c protruding downward are accommodated in the receiving groove 112g formed between them.

Additionally, a slit (112s) extending vertically downward from the center of the receiving groove (112g) may be formed in the upper insulation board (112). The slits 112s are provided to alleviate the stress concentration phenomenon caused by the load occurring on the insulation layer 100, especially the thermal load, and a plurality of slits 112s are formed along the longitudinal and width directions of the upper insulation board 112. You can. The slit 112s formed along the longitudinal direction and the slit 112s formed along the width direction are orthogonal to each other.

By processing the slit (112s), the upper insulation board (112) can be divided into a number of parts with separate heat contraction behavior, and the heat contraction behavior for each part is achieved separately, thereby structurally liquefying the liquefied gas insulation system. Stability can be improved.

In the present invention, all components of the insulation panel 110 can be joined by adhesive. The lower insulation material 111i and the lower plate 111b constituting the lower insulation board 111 are bonded to each other by adhesive, and the upper insulation material 112i and the upper plate 112t constituting the upper insulation board 112 are bonded together. They are coupled to each other, and the lower surface of the upper insulation board 112 may be fixed to the upper surface of the lower insulation board 111 by adhesive.

However, the case of the first fixing device 113 installed at the upper center of the upper insulation board 112 is an exception. The first fixing device 113 is mechanically fastened and fixed to the center of the upper plate 112t located in the center among the multiple segments present on the upper part of the upper insulation board 112. You can. The first fixing device 113 is a configuration for fixing the supporting plywood 400, which will be described later, in more detail.

The insulation panel 110 can be modularized and manufactured as an integrated unit including the lower insulation board 111 and the upper insulation board 112, and a plurality of insulation panels 110 manufactured as modules are placed on the inner wall of the hull (H). The insulation layer 100 can be formed by arranging the bridge panels 120 in the space between them in succession.

Referring to Figure 6, the plurality of insulation panels 110 may be arranged in rows and rows so that the lower insulation board 111 is adjacent to each other along the horizontal and longitudinal directions of the storage tank. At this time, considering the installation tolerance, the adjacent lower insulation boards 111 can be placed with a predetermined gap between them.

Meanwhile, as described above, the upper insulation board 112 has a smaller flat cross-sectional area than the lower insulation board 111, so an empty space is created between the adjacent upper insulation boards 112, and the present invention provides the space A structure is applied to connect neighboring insulation panels 110 to each other by placing a bridge panel 120 thereon.

The liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention is a structure in which both the primary barrier 300 and the secondary barrier 200 are located on the upper side of the insulation layer 100, that is, the insulation layer 100 is located on the barriers 200 and 300. It is a structure that is not separated by In this structure, if the insulation layer 100 is formed as a single layer, structural weakness may occur due to vertical load due to hull deformation. In addition, as described above, a predetermined gap occurs between adjacent lower insulation boards 111 in consideration of installation tolerance, and the gap that occurs within the insulation system is a space where convection occurs and is a space where heat loss can occur. .

In order to compensate for the above weaknesses, the present invention consists of a double layer insulation panel 110 including a lower insulation board 111 and an upper insulation board 112, and a lower insulation board 111 constituting the lower insulation layer. By arranging the vertical edges of the upper insulation board 112 and the bridge panel 120, which constitute the upper insulation layer, to be offset from each other, stable behavior of the insulation layer 100 is possible and heat loss through the boundary between the panels can also be effectively blocked. Implement the structure.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 6, the bridge panel 120 is disposed between the upper insulation boards 112 of neighboring insulation panels 110, and thus will be arranged while covering the boundaries of the neighboring lower insulation boards 111. You can.

The bridge panel 120 may have a shape similar to that of the upper insulation board 112. The bridge panel 120 may be provided with a top plate (member number not assigned) attached to the upper surface of polyurethane foam or reinforced polyurethane foam insulation (member number not assigned) made of plywood or fiber-reinforced plastic. . In addition, a receiving groove (member number not assigned) to accommodate the secondary wrinkles 200c formed in the secondary barrier 200 and a slit (member number not assigned) to relieve stress concentration are formed in the bridge panel 120. It can be.

In this embodiment, the bridge panel 120 includes a transverse bridge panel 120A disposed laterally between upper insulation boards 112 adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction, and upper insulation boards adjacent to each other in the width direction ( 112), a longitudinal bridge panel (120B) disposed longitudinally between them, and an intersection bridge panel ( It can be provided in three forms, including 120C).

The transverse bridge panel 120A may have the same shape as the portion located within the gap of the slit 112s formed in the width direction on the upper insulation board 112, and the longitudinal bridge panel 120B may be an upper insulation board ( 112) may have the same shape as the portion located within the interval of the slit 112s formed in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the intersection bridge panel 120C may have the same shape as the portion located within the gap between the slits 112s formed in the longitudinal direction and within the gap between the slits 112s formed in the width direction.

According to this, the width of the horizontal bridge panel (120A) and the longitudinal bridge panel (120B) may be formed to be the same as the spacing of the slits (112s) formed in the upper insulation board (112). Additionally, the length of the horizontal bridge panel 120A and the length of the longitudinal bridge panel 120B may be formed to be the same as the width and length of the upper insulation board 112, respectively. In addition, both the width and length of the intersection bridge panel 120C may be formed to be the same as the spacing of the slits 112s.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Not only can the size of the horizontal bridge panel (120A) and the vertical bridge panel (120B) be made smaller or larger, but either the horizontal bridge panel (120A) or the vertical bridge panel (120B) can be used at the intersection. It can also be configured by integrating with the bridge panel (120C). In addition, the effect of reducing material quantity can be maximized by unifying all three types of bridge panels (120A, 120B, and 120C) into the same size and appropriately arranging them in the space between the upper insulation boards 112.

For reference, in the drawing, in order to distinguish the upper insulation board 112 and the bridge panel 120, the gap formed between the upper insulation board 112 and the bridge panel 120 is a slit (112s) formed in the upper insulation board 112. ) is shown larger than the width, but it is preferable that the gap formed between the upper insulation board 112 and the bridge panel 120 and the width of the slit 112s formed in the upper insulation board 112 are formed at the same level.

The bridge panel 120 may further include a secondary anchor strip 121 for fixing the secondary barrier 200. The secondary anchor strip 121 is a strip-shaped metal plate with a predetermined width, and can be mechanically fastened to the upper plate of the bridge panel 120 using rivets, screws, staples, etc. In addition, the secondary anchor strip 121 may be seated and fixed in a groove formed on the upper surface of the upper plate of the bridge panel 120, and the upper surface of the secondary anchor strip 121 is the upper surface of the upper plate of the bridge panel 120. It can form the same plane as .

The secondary anchor strip 121 installed on the lateral bridge panel 120A and the longitudinal bridge panel 120B may be installed along the center line along the longitudinal direction of each panel 120A and 120B. The secondary anchor strip 121 installed on the intersection bridge panel 120C can maintain continuity with the anchor strip 121 provided on the adjacent transverse bridge panel 120A and longitudinal bridge panel 120B. It can be provided in the shape of the character ten (十).

Meanwhile, as a receiving groove for receiving the secondary wrinkles 200c is formed on the upper part of the bridge panel 120, the upper plate of the bridge panel 120 is divided into a plurality of segments that are not connected to each other, and thus the upper plate The secondary anchor strip 121 installed in has a structure that is not connected but is disconnected at regular intervals. Disconnecting the secondary anchor strip 121 in this way is an intended structure of the present invention to increase the structural stability of the insulation system by more effectively preventing heat contraction of the secondary barrier 200.

A second fixing device 122 for fixing the supporting plywood 400, which will be described later, may be installed at the upper center of the intersection bridge panel 120C among the bridge panels 120. The second fixing device 122 may be fixed by welding to the center of the ten-shaped anchor strip 121 provided on the intersection bridge panel 120C. Details of the second fixing device 122 will be described later along with the first fixing device 113.

The present invention implements a liquefied gas insulation system with a double metal barrier structure by successively installing the secondary barrier 200 and the primary barrier 300 on the upper side of the insulation layer 100. That is, the present invention eliminates the process of installing a barrier between the upper and lower insulation layers in a conventional insulation system, forms an overall thick insulation layer 100, and then installs a double barrier 200, 300 thereon.

The primary and secondary barriers 300 and 200 serve to seal (liquid-tight/air-tight) the liquefied gas contained within the storage tank. The primary barrier 300 performs a primary sealing function by directly contacting the cryogenic liquefied gas contained within the storage tank, and the secondary barrier 200 performs a secondary sealing function when the primary barrier 300 leaks. It must be designed to enable tightness and support of liquefied gas for a considerable period of time even if leakage of the primary barrier 300 occurs.

The first and second barriers 300 and 200 may be made of a metal material with strong low-temperature brittleness to cope with stress changes caused by the extremely low temperature of the liquefied gas contained inside the storage tank, for example, stainless steel or Invar steel. Alternatively, low-temperature steel such as aluminum alloy may be used.

As described above, in the present invention, due to the nature of the structure of the panel-type insulation system in which the insulation layer 100 has flexible properties, the primary and secondary barriers 300 and 200 are made of stainless steel material that can easily respond to stress changes. It is preferable that the primary and secondary barriers 300 and 200 made of stainless steel membranes may each include a plurality of wavy wrinkles 300c and 200c to cope with heat shrinkage due to cryogenic temperatures.

Referring to FIG. 7, the secondary barrier 200 may be provided with a plurality of membrane sheets airtightly connected to each other. The unit membrane sheet constituting the secondary barrier 200 is prepared as an approximately rectangular metal sheet with a predetermined length and width, and the edges of adjacent membrane sheets are overlapping and welded to form airtightness at the corresponding level. .

The secondary wrinkles 200c formed on the secondary barrier 200 may be formed to protrude downward, that is, toward the outside of the storage tank. A plurality of secondary wrinkles 200c formed in the secondary barrier 200 may be formed side by side along the length and width directions of the membrane sheet, with longitudinal wrinkles extending in the longitudinal direction and transverse wrinkles extending in the width direction. Wrinkle intersections may be formed in areas where wrinkles intersect. In addition, when welding adjacent membrane sheets, the wrinkles formed on each membrane sheet are connected to each other, so that a plurality of wrinkles extending along the transverse and longitudinal directions can form a grid inside the storage tank.

The secondary barrier 200 may be fixed by a secondary anchor strip 121 installed on the top of the insulation layer 100. In the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention, it has been described above that among the components constituting the insulation layer 100, the secondary anchor strip 121 is installed only on the upper surface of the bridge panel 120, and as shown in Figure 7, the insulation layer The edges of the membrane sheets constituting the secondary barrier 200 may be fixed by welding on the secondary anchor strips 121 arranged in a grid form on the upper part of the 100. At this time, the edges of neighboring membrane sheets are overlapped and welded to each other.

According to the structure of the present invention as described above, the size of the membrane sheet constituting the secondary barrier 200 can be manufactured to the same or similar level as the lower insulation board 111 of the insulation panel 110, and the installation location can also be It may be formed at a position corresponding to the lower insulation board 111.

Meanwhile, there are fixing devices 113 and 122 on the top of the insulation layer 100 for fixing the supporting plywood 400, which will be described later, and the fixing devices 113 and 122 penetrate the secondary barrier 200. It includes studs that protrude upward. In order to allow such a protruding structure, there is a through hole in the center of the membrane sheet constituting the secondary barrier 200 in the present invention for the studs of the first fixing device 113 installed at the upper center of the insulation panel 110 to pass through. This can be formed. In addition, in order to allow the studs of the second fixing device 122 installed at the upper center of the intersection bridge panel 120C to protrude, the four corners of the membrane sheet constituting the secondary barrier 200 are cut diagonally. It can have a shape.

The first fixing device 113 is inserted and fixed to the upper part of the upper insulation board 112 and may include a metal fastening part (e.g., a base socket) to which the lower end of the stud is fastened, and is located in the center of the secondary barrier 200. The formed through hole can be airtightly welded onto the metal fastening part. The upper surface of the metal fastening part may be flush with the upper surface of the upper insulation board 112, and more specifically, the upper surface of the upper plate 112t.

In addition, the diagonal portion formed at the corner of the membrane sheet constituting the secondary barrier 200 is airtight on the secondary anchor strip 121 installed in a cross shape on the upper surface of the intersection bridge panel 120C. It may be welded, and a portion of the diagonal portion may be overlap-welded with a neighboring membrane sheet to maintain airtightness at the level of the secondary barrier 200.

Meanwhile, the secondary barrier 200 and the primary barrier 300, which are continuously installed on the top of the insulation layer 100, may expand and contract under the influence of the cryogenic temperature of the liquefied gas, so the two barriers 200 and 300 They must be structured so that they do not come into contact with each other, and an insulation system needs to be constructed to prevent them from being influenced by each other as much as possible.

To this end, the present invention separates the first and second barriers (300, 200) at a predetermined interval and uses a supporting fly between the secondary barrier (200) and the primary barrier (300) for the purpose of minimizing mutual influence. Install wood (400). The specific structure of the supporting plywood 400 can be seen in Figures 8 and 9.

Supporting plywood 400 is made of plywood in the form of a plate or plate having a predetermined thickness, and the two barriers are separated by separating the primary barrier 300 to the upper side of the secondary barrier 200 by the thickness. (200, 300) plays a role in minimizing the influence of each other and promoting structural stability. However, in the present invention, the material of the supporting plywood 400 is not limited to plywood. Any material that can be used at extremely low temperatures and can function as a load-bearing structural material (for example, a composite material such as fiber-reinforced plastic) can be used as an alternative.

The supporting plywood 400 includes a first supporting plywood 410 forming a large frame, and a second supporting plywood 420 inserted into the through portion 413 formed in the center of the first supporting plywood 410. ) can be manufactured with two members including.

The first supporting plywood 410 is installed on a first support plate 411 having a rectangular cross-section and a predetermined thickness, and the upper surface of the first support plate 411, and the primary barrier 300 is welded. It may include a first primary anchor strip 412 fixed by. A square-shaped penetrating portion 413 is formed in the center of the first support plate 411.

The first support plate 411 is preferably a plate made of plywood, and the penetration portion 413 extends the first support plate 411 in the thickness direction to provide a space for the second supporting plywood 420 to be installed. It is a hole formed by penetrating.

The first primary anchor strip 412 is a strip-shaped metal plate with a predetermined width, and may be installed along the longitudinal center line and the width direction center line of the first support plate 411. The first primary anchor strip 412 is seated in a groove formed on the upper surface of the first support plate 411 and can be mechanically fastened and fixed by rivets, screws, staples, etc., and the first primary anchor strip 412 The upper surface may be flush with the upper surface of the first support plate 411.

The second supporting plywood 420 is installed on the second support plate 421, which has a square cross-section and the same thickness as the first supporting plywood 410, and the upper surface of the second support plate 421. The car barrier 300 may include a second primary anchor strip 422 that is fixed by welding.

Like the first support plate 411, the second support plate 421 may also be made of a ply material. The second support plate 421 may have a square (more preferably square) cross-section corresponding to the shape of the penetrating portion 413 formed in the central portion of the first supporting plywood 410, and the penetrating portion 413 It can be inserted and installed within the space.

The second primary anchor strip 422 is a strip-shaped metal plate with a predetermined width. The second support plate 421 is provided to maintain continuity with the first primary anchor strip 412 provided on the first support plate 411. The table may be provided in the shape of the character 十. The second primary anchor strip 422 is seated in a groove formed on the upper surface of the second support plate 421 and can be mechanically fastened and fixed by rivets, screws, staples, etc., and the second primary anchor strip 422 The upper surface may be flush with the upper surface of the second support plate 421.

According to the structure of the present invention described above, when viewed based on the supporting plywood 400 including the first and second supporting plywood 410, 420, the primary anchor strips 412, 422 cross the center. When the separation layer, which is provided in the shape of (十) and is composed of a plurality of supporting plywood 400, is viewed as a whole, there are a number of primary anchor strips 412 and 422 extending along the horizontal and longitudinal directions of the storage tank. It can form a grid.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, both the secondary wrinkles 21 formed on the secondary barrier 20 and the primary wrinkles 31 formed on the primary barrier 30 are directed upward (inside the storage tank). direction), the spacer 40 that separates the two barriers 20 and 30 is divided into multiple pieces to avoid interference with the secondary wrinkle 21, thereby increasing the amount of material and installation man-hours. I mentioned above that there is a problem.

In addition, in the structure shown in Figure 1, in order to prevent overlap between the secondary wrinkles 21 and the primary wrinkles 31, the two barriers 20 and 30 must be spaced apart to the extent that they are not affected by sloshing. The thickness of the spacer 40 increases by the corresponding separation distance, which ultimately leads to an increase in cost. In particular, due to the nature of membrane-type insulation systems applied to cryogenic environments, specific materials that do not become brittle and fractured at cryogenic temperatures must be used rather than general materials, which inevitably leads to greater economic losses.

On the other hand, the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention, which forms the secondary wrinkles 200c formed on the secondary barrier 200 downward, has 2 in the space between the secondary barrier 200 and the primary barrier 300. No interference occurs due to the secondary wrinkles 200c. Therefore, the present invention has the great advantage that the unit area of the supporting plywood 400 can be increased without the need to consider the spacing of the secondary wrinkles 200c, and the thickness of the supporting plywood 400 can also be flexibly changed by the designer. It can be expected to have economic effects such as improved productivity and reduced costs due to reduced installation man-hours.

The supporting plywood 400 can be manufactured to be at least larger than the interval between the wrinkles 200c and 300c of the barriers 200 and 300. More preferably, the supporting plywood 400 can be manufactured to the same or similar size as the lower insulation board 111 of the insulation panel 110, and the installation location is also at a position corresponding to the lower insulation board 111. can be formed in The installation structure of the supporting plywood 400 will be examined in more detail later.

However, if the size of the supporting plywood 400 is only vaguely large, structural problems may occur, so the present invention seeks to respond to this by machining a slit 414 on the supporting plywood 400.

As mentioned in explaining the structure of the secondary anchor strip 121 described above, the anchor strip to which the barrier is fixed by welding has a disconnected structure so that the wrinkles spread during heat contraction of the barrier and the amount of heat contraction can be well controlled. It is desirable to have it in place.

For this purpose, the present invention can process a slit 414 on the first supporting plywood 410 to cut off the first primary anchor strip 412. Here, the slit 414 extends in a direction perpendicular to the first primary anchor strip 412 and can be seen as a thin hole penetrating the first support plate 411. In order to prevent the first support plate 411 from being damaged due to the heat contraction behavior of the primary barrier 300, it is preferable that the slit 414 completely penetrates the first support plate 411.

Meanwhile, the penetrating portion 413 formed in the center of the first support plate 411 serves to disconnect the first primary anchor strip 412 and the first primary anchor strip 412 and the second primary anchor strip 422. Therefore, separate slits are formed on the first primary anchor strip 412 installed along the width direction of the first support plate 411 and the second primary anchor strip 422 installed on the second support plate 412. It may not be processed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is of course possible to additionally process slits on the first primary anchor strip 412 installed along the width direction in consideration of structural design.

The slits 414 can be formed at regular intervals, and by processing the slits 414, the supporting plywood 400 can be divided into numerous zones that can move independently based on the slits 414. In addition, the second supporting plywood 420 can operate independently of the first supporting plywood 410 by forming the penetrating portion 413.

Referring to FIG. 15 for a moment, when the primary barrier 300 is thermally contracted, each section divided by the slit 414 and the penetration portion 413 in the supporting plywood 400 behaves independently, thereby forming the primary barrier 300. Thermal contraction can be controlled more effectively, and thus the structural stability of the insulation system can be improved. This same effect appears in the secondary barrier 200 that is welded and fixed on the secondary anchor strip 121 having a disconnected structure.

Meanwhile, additional slits 414 may be further processed along the edge of the first support plate 411. The slits 414 formed on the inside and edge of the first support plate 411 allow the supporting plywood 400 to flexibly respond to heat contraction between the first and second barriers 300 and 200.

The slit 414 formed on the edge of the first support plate 411 has an extension direction that is offset from the slit 414 formed on the inside of the first support plate 411 in order to cut off the first primary anchor strip 412. The position may be determined to form.

Additionally, a hole 414h may be formed at the end of the slit 414 for the purpose of preventing cracks from occurring or growing due to heat shrinkage. The hole 414h may have a circular or oval shape with a diameter larger than the width of the slit 414, and, like the slit 414, may be formed to completely penetrate the first support plate 411. In the case of the slit 414 that cuts off the first primary anchor strip 412, it is formed at both ends and in the case of the slit 414 formed at the edge of the first support plate 411, it is formed on the inside of the first support plate 411. A hole 414h may be formed at each facing end.

As described above, the present invention is a supporting plywood that allows the supporting plywood 400 to be as large as the insulation panel 110 as much as possible while simultaneously responding flexibly to the heat shrinkage behavior of the primary barrier 300 installed thereon. It is characterized by providing an optimized structure and arrangement of the wood 400.

Next, we will look at the installation and fixing structure of the supporting plywood 400 with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

Referring to Figures 10 and 11, the first supporting plywood 410 is fixed at each of the four corners by the second fixing device 122 provided on the intersection bridge panel 120C, and the second supporting plywood ( In the case of 420), the supporting plywood 400 can be installed on the upper part of the secondary barrier 200 by being fixed by the first fixing device 113 provided on the insulation panel 110.

That is, the supporting plywood 400 can be fixed at five points, including the four corners of the first supporting plywood 410 and the central part of the second supporting plywood 420, as shown in Figures 12 and 12 below. Refer to 13 to look at the fixed structure at each point in more detail.

First, referring to FIG. 12, the corner portion of the first supporting plywood 410 may be fixed by a second fixing device 122 provided on the intersection bridge panel 120C (not shown in FIG. 12). In the drawing, two other first supporting plywoods 410 are shown adjacent to each other, and a fixing plate (p) and a fixing nut (n) are fastened to the studs constituting the second fixing device 122 to provide the first supporting plywood 410. Fixing may be done in the form of holding the corner of the plywood 410.

The fixing plate (p) may be made of plywood like the first supporting plywood 410, and may have a stepped shape so as to pressurize and support the corner portion of the first supporting plywood 410. In addition, in order to maintain flatness when installing the primary barrier 300, it is desirable for the fixing plate (p) and the upper surface of the first supporting plywood 410 to be on the same plane, so that the first supporting plywood 410 Step processing may be performed on the corner portion so that the fixing plate (p) can be seated.

Next, referring to FIG. 13, the second supporting plywood 420 may be fixed at the center by the first fixing device 113 provided on the insulation panel 110 (not shown in FIG. 13). To this end, a fastening hole 420h penetrating upward and downward may be formed at the center position of the second supporting plywood 420 so that the stud of the first fixing device 113 can be inserted.

A single first supporting plywood 410 is shown in the drawing. After the first supporting plywood 410 is first installed, an empty space is created in the center of the first supporting plywood 410 due to the penetration part 413, and the first fixing device 113 is located in the space. At this time, as the stud of the first fixing device 113 is inserted into the fastening hole 420h, the second supporting plywood 420 is inserted into the penetration part 413, and the fixing nut (n) is fastened to the top of the stud. 2 The supporting plywood 420 can be fixed.

Here, the second supporting plywood 420 is fixed in such a way that it directly holds the first supporting plywood 410, and for this purpose, step processing is performed on the through portion 413 of the first supporting plywood 410. In response to this, step processing may also be performed on the lower surface of the second supporting plywood 420.

Meanwhile, in the case of the first supporting plywood 410, the first primary anchor strip 412 does not affect fixation, but in the case of the second supporting plywood 420, after the fixing nut (n) is fastened, the upper part thereof Since the second primary anchor strip 422 must be covered, the second primary anchor strip 422 can be assembled in the field after fixing the second supporting plywood 420 to the first fixing device 113. There will be.

A plurality of supporting plywood 400 installed in the same manner as above is arranged in succession to form a separation layer that separates the first and second barriers 300 and 200 from each other. At this time, since no interference due to wrinkles occurs in the space between the first and second barriers (300, 200), it is possible to place the supporting plywood (400) tightly without any gaps, thereby preventing heat loss due to convection. A very effective structure can be implemented.

A primary barrier 300 is installed on the upper part of the separation layer composed of a plurality of supporting plywood 400. The primary barrier 300 may be arranged to be spaced apart from the upper side of the secondary barrier 200 by a height corresponding to the thickness of the supporting plywood 400.

The primary barrier 300 has a similar structure to the secondary barrier 200 described above, except that the direction of the wrinkles protrudes toward the inside of the storage tank and there is no through hole for penetration of the fixing device. .

More specifically, referring to FIG. 14, the primary barrier 300 may be provided with a plurality of membrane sheets that are airtightly connected to each other. The unit membrane sheet constituting the primary barrier 300 is prepared as an approximately rectangular metal sheet with a predetermined length and width, and the edges of adjacent membrane sheets are overlapping and welded to form airtightness at the corresponding level. .

The primary wrinkles 300c formed on the primary barrier 300 may be formed to protrude upward, that is, toward the inside of the storage tank. A plurality of primary wrinkles 300c formed in the primary barrier 300 may be formed in parallel along the length and width directions of the membrane sheet, with longitudinal wrinkles extending in the longitudinal direction and transverse wrinkles extending in the width direction. Wrinkle intersections may be formed in areas where wrinkles intersect. In addition, when welding adjacent membrane sheets, the wrinkles formed on each membrane sheet are connected to each other, so that a plurality of wrinkles extending along the transverse and longitudinal directions can form a grid inside the storage tank.

The primary barrier 300 may be fixed by primary anchor strips 412 and 422 installed on the upper part of the supporting plywood 400. As shown in FIG. 14, a membrane sheet constituting the primary barrier 300 on primary anchor strips 412 and 422 arranged in a grid form on the upper part of a separation layer composed of a plurality of supporting plywood 400. The edges can be fixed by welding. At this time, the edges of neighboring membrane sheets are overlapped and welded to each other.

Since there is no separate protruding structure on the upper part of the supporting plywood 400, there is no through hole in the membrane sheet constituting the primary barrier 300. However, in order to structurally avoid four membrane sheets overlapping at the same time, diagonal processing may also be performed on the four corners of the membrane sheet constituting the primary barrier 300. The diagonal portion formed at the corner of the membrane sheet constituting the primary barrier 300 is airtight on the second primary anchor strip 422 installed in a cross shape on the upper surface of the second supporting plywood 420. It can be welded properly, and some of the diagonal portions can be overlap-welded with neighboring membrane sheets to maintain airtightness at the level of the primary barrier 300.

Meanwhile, the second supporting plywood 420, where the corner of the membrane sheet constituting the primary barrier 300 is located, is a first fixing device 113 that penetrates the center of the membrane sheet constituting the secondary barrier 200. ) is fixed by. Therefore, when viewed in the vertical direction, the corner of the membrane sheet constituting the primary barrier 300 is located at the center of the membrane sheet constituting the secondary barrier 200, that is, the first and second barriers 300 and 200 ) It can be seen that the membrane sheets that make up are arranged misaligned with each other.

In addition, referring again to FIG. 2, in the insulation system according to the present invention, the primary wrinkle 300c formed on the primary barrier 300 and the secondary wrinkle 200c formed on the secondary barrier 200 have a pitch ( pitch) intervals may be designed differently.

As shown in FIG. 1, when both the wrinkles 31 formed on the primary barrier 30 and the wrinkles 21 formed on the secondary barrier 30 are formed upward, the two wrinkles 21 and 31 can be arranged to overlap each other, but in the case where the secondary wrinkles 200c formed on the secondary barrier 200 are configured downward as presented in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heat insulating layer 100 is formed. Processing is required on the panel portion. In this case, processing of approximately 50 mm or more occurs, which means a decrease in insulation performance. In addition, when the secondary wrinkle 200c is configured downward, it must be in a smooth curved shape rather than an elliptical shape for automatic welding, so the range that needs to be processed may be wider. Automatic welding is performed in a direction tangent to the corrugation waveform. When the curve is large, it is difficult for automatic welding to follow the welding line due to the steep slope, resulting in a high defect rate. Therefore, it is advantageous in terms of automatic welding for the wrinkles to have a smooth curved shape.

Accordingly, the present invention is intended to minimize the processing range for accommodating the secondary wrinkles (200c) and satisfy the smooth 'corrugation profile' condition that enables automatic welding. Specifically, by reducing the gap between the secondary wrinkles (200c), the wrinkles are reduced. Configure to reduce profile size. Here, 'profile' refers to the shape and size of the wrinkle waveform. The smaller the height of the wrinkle and the gentler the curve, the more advantageous it is for automatic welding.

In other words, as the pitch interval of the wrinkles becomes smaller, the amount of heat shrinkage becomes smaller and the size of the wrinkle waveform for absorbing this can be configured to be small. Therefore, the present invention provides the pitch of the secondary wrinkles 200c formed on the secondary barrier 200. By making the gap relatively small compared to the primary wrinkle 300c of the primary barrier 300, the profile size of the wrinkle is reduced, thereby implementing a structure advantageous for automatic welding.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the secondary wrinkles 200c formed on the secondary barrier 200 and the primary wrinkles 300c formed on the primary barrier 300 are arranged to be offset from each other in the vertical direction. At this time, the misalignment between the primary wrinkles 300c and the secondary wrinkles 200c is not formed randomly, and the wrinkle spacing can be determined by considering the number per unit length of the insulation panels 110 constituting the insulation layer 100. there is.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, primary wrinkles 300c may be formed at each point dividing the entire width of the insulation panel 110 into thirds, and as a result, primary wrinkles 300c are formed at adjacent lower parts. It may be formed at a plurality of locations including the boundary portion of the insulation board 111.

In the case of the secondary wrinkles (200c), they can be formed at each point dividing the width of the upper insulation board 112 into thirds, and as a result, the secondary wrinkles (200c) are between the upper insulation board 112 and the bridge panel 120. It may be formed at a plurality of locations including the boundary portion, and is arranged to be offset from the primary wrinkle 300c in the vertical direction.

According to the structure of the present invention in which the primary wrinkles (300c) and the secondary wrinkles (200c) are arranged to be offset from each other as described above, the processing range of the panel constituting the insulation layer 100 is reduced by reducing the profile of the secondary wrinkles (200c). This has the effect of minimizing and facilitating automatic welding of the secondary barrier 200. In addition, it is superior in terms of manufacturing performance compared to the case where the spacing between the primary and secondary wrinkles 300c and 200c is configured to be the same, and there is an advantage that the designer can flexibly change the performance of the secondary barrier 200.

In addition, in order to solve the problem of lowering the BOR performance of the insulation system due to processing of the panels constituting the insulation layer 100, wrinkle insulation that functions as an insulation material in the wrinkles 200c and 300c formed on the barriers 200 and 300 (not shown) may be placed.

As described above, when the panel is processed for the placement of the secondary wrinkles 200c formed downward, the insulation performance may be reduced accordingly, so the reduced insulation performance is compensated by placing wrinkle insulation (not shown) on the wrinkle profile area. It is done.

Wrinkle insulation (not shown) can be filled with glass wool to fill the empty space of the wrinkles (200c, 300c), or can be placed in a simple form using solid foam insulation such as polyurethane foam.

The wrinkle insulation (not shown) disposed within the secondary wrinkle 200c functions to restore some of the insulation performance lost due to panel processing of the insulation layer 100, and utilizes the empty space in the wrinkle profile portion that may inevitably occur. This can play a role in improving the BOR performance of the insulation system.

In addition, in the case of pleated insulation (not shown) disposed within the primary corrugation 300c, it not only functions to improve the BOR performance of the insulation system, but also directly and indirectly improves the buckling strength of the primary barrier 300. It will be of help to you. When considering this aspect of buckling strength, it may be better to use a wrinkle insulation (not shown) disposed within the primary barrier 300c that has some strength, such as polyurethane foam.

Below, we will look at the construction method of the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention in a sequential process.

First, the work of installing the insulation layer 100 on the inner wall of the hull (H) is performed. At this time, the installation of the insulation layer 100 may be carried out in the order of installing the bridge panel 120 in the space between the installation of the insulation panel 110.

Once the installation of the insulation layer 100 is completed, the work of installing the secondary barrier 200 on the top of the insulation layer 100 is performed. Specifically, a plurality of membrane sheets constituting the secondary barrier 200 are secondary anchor strips 121 installed on the upper surface of the insulation layer 100, and more specifically, secondary anchor strips installed on the bridge panel 120. (121) It can be overlap-welded on top to form a sealing structure.

After installation of the secondary barrier 200, the work of installing the supporting plywood 400 on the upper part of the secondary barrier 200 is performed. In the present invention, the supporting plywood 400 includes a first supporting plywood 410 with a penetrating part 413 formed in the center and a second supporting plywood 420 inserted into the penetrating part 413. It may be composed of branch members, and the corner portions of the first supporting plywood 410 and the second supporting plywood 420 each have a central portion that protrudes upward through the secondary barrier 200. A second fixing device ( 122) and may be fastened to the studs of the first fixing device 113.

Here, the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention does not generate a wrinkle interference structure between the primary barrier 300 and the secondary barrier 200, so the unit area of the supporting plywood 400 is large and is placed tightly. You can do it. This is directly related to the effect of being structurally stable and effectively blocking heat loss due to convection. In addition, due to the absence of the wrinkle interference structure, the shape and installation structure of the supporting plywood 400 can be greatly simplified, which will ultimately have the effect of greatly improving the constructability of the liquefied gas storage tank and shortening the total drying period. You can.

Finally, the first barrier 300 installation work is performed. Specifically, a plurality of membrane sheets constituting the primary barrier 300 are overlap-welded on the primary anchor strips 412 and 422 installed on the upper surface of the supporting plywood 400 to form a sealing structure, and finally, a double An insulation system with a metal barrier structure can be implemented.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 16 to 19, the corner structure of the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention will be examined in detail. Hereinafter, the corner area in the liquefied gas storage tank where two inner walls meet at an angle will be referred to as a 'corner section', and the area that is flat except for the corner section will be referred to as a 'flat section'.

In the present invention, when the two barriers (200, 300) are both disposed on the upper side of the insulation layer (100) and located adjacent to the cryogenic cargo, each barrier (200, 300) is installed on the two inner walls of the storage tank that meet at an angle to each other. As a connection part where 300) is connected, we would like to propose a corner structure that can respond flexibly to heat shrinkage and external load and function effectively.

In order to derive an effective corner structure of a liquefied gas insulation system, the present invention reveals that the following matters were taken into consideration.

- First, it should be effective in a structure where the primary and secondary barriers are placed adjacent to each other and the directions of the wrinkles are formed in opposite directions.

- Second, it will be possible to accommodate a structure in which the corrugation intervals of the primary and secondary barriers are arranged misaligned with each other.

- Third, the wrinkles of the primary and secondary barriers should not be finished separately at the corners, but should have a shape where the wrinkles on adjacent inner walls are connected to each other.

- Fourth, it must be a structure that can flexibly respond to heat shrinkage of the primary and secondary barriers.

- Fifth, the fixing structure for connecting the primary and secondary barriers at the corner should be able to flexibly respond to heat shrinkage.

Referring to FIG. 16, the above-described insulation panel 110 and bridge panel 120 are disposed on the flat part of the liquefied gas storage tank according to the present invention to form the insulation layer 100, and the body of the storage tank is located at the corner part. A corner panel 130 bent at the same angle as the angle formed by the two inner walls is installed to form the insulation layer 100.

The insulation panel 110, which is usually installed on the flat part of the storage tank, is manufactured to a certain standard size and is installed from the center of the tank toward the corner, and the corner panel 130 installed at the corner of the storage tank also has a certain standard. Therefore, manufacturing/installation tolerances that occur little by little during manufacturing and installation of the plurality of insulation panels 110 are accumulated between the insulation panel 110 and the corner panel 130, resulting in a variable gap.

Since the variable gap may vary depending on the installation process of the plurality of insulation panels 110 and the corner panels 130, it is difficult to determine the value from the beginning, and the gap of the plurality of insulation panels 110 and the corner panels 130 It can be confirmed through actual measurement after installation is completed. Once the installation of the plurality of insulation panels 110 and corner panels 130 is completed, the variable gap formed between them is measured, and the insulation member can be manufactured and placed in a size appropriate for the space. .

More specifically, a variable gap occurs between the lower insulation board 111 of the insulation panel 110 and the lower corner board 131 of the corner panel 130, and the upper insulation board 112 of the insulation panel 110 A variable gap wider than that also occurs between the upper corner board 132 of the corner panel 130.

In the present invention, a border panel 140 manufactured through measurement can be placed between the upper insulation board 112 and the upper corner board 132, where a large variable gap occurs. The border panel 140 is disposed between the insulation panel 110 and the corner panel 130 to connect the two panels 110 and 130, as if it were a bridge panel disposed in the space between adjacent insulation panels 110. It has a similar function to (120). However, the border panel 140 does not have a standardized size like the bridge panel 120 due to the nature of being placed in a variable gap that occurs at the boundary area between the corner and the flat part, but is manufactured to a special size through field measurement.

Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, there is a variable gap formed between the lower insulation board 111 of the insulation panel 110 and the lower corner board 131 of the corner panel 130, such as glass wool or foam. Gap insulation (not shown) made of an insulating material may be disposed.

Referring to Figure 17, the structure of the corner panel 130 according to the present invention can be confirmed in more detail.

The corner panel 130 according to the present invention includes a lower corner board 131 bent approximately in an 'L' shape; It can be manufactured as an integrated module, including the upper corner board 132, which is manufactured in a smaller size than the lower corner board 131 and is laminated and glued to the inner surface of the lower corner board 131. The embodiments shown in the drawing show a structure of a '90 degree corner' where the two inner walls of the storage tank meet at a 90° angle, and the corner panel 130 installed at the corner is also bent at 90°. When the two inner walls of the tank meet at different angles, the bending angle of the corner panel 130 may also change correspondingly. For example, the corner panel 130 installed at the '135 degree corner' of the storage tank may have a shape bent at an obtuse angle of 135 degrees.

Similar to the lower insulation board 111, the lower corner board 131 is a lower corner provided with plywood or fiber-reinforced plastic on the outer surface of the lower corner insulation material 131i, which is made of polyurethane foam or reinforced polyurethane foam insulation. It may be provided with a support plate 131b attached. The lower corner support plate 131b serves to provide mechanical rigidity to the lower corner insulation material 131i, which has flexible properties.

The upper corner board 132 is provided with an upper corner support plate 132t made of hard wood attached to the inner side of the upper corner insulation 132i made of polyurethane foam or reinforced polyurethane foam insulation. It can be. At this time, the reason why hardwood is used as a material for the upper corner support plate 132t, unlike the upper plate 112t of the insulation panel 110, is because the upper corner support plate 132t is connected by welding to the barriers 200 and 300. This is because it is a member to which the corner steel part 150 that receives the load is coupled, and is installed in the corner of the storage tank, so it is required to have a sturdy structure in response to asymmetrically acting loads or sloshing loads.

However, the upper corner support plate 132t does not need to be continuously formed to be formed parallel to one inner wall of the storage tank and to be formed parallel to the other inner wall, but only to be exposed to the inner surface of the upper corner board 132. It just needs to be installed. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, the upper corner board 132 can be manufactured by dividing into three units with a square cross-section and then joined by adhesive. Of the three units, the one located in the center is the upper part. It may be composed of only the corner insulating material 132i, and the remaining two may be composed of a combination of the upper corner insulating material 132i and the upper corner support plate 132t.

The lower corner board 131 and the upper corner board 132 may be fixed by adhesion on surfaces that contact each other. Additionally, a portion of the upper surface of the lower corner board 131 in the direction toward the flat portion of the storage tank is exposed, and the corresponding area may be covered by the border panel 140.

Meanwhile, a corner steel portion 150 may be installed on the upper part, that is, the inner surface, of the corner panel 130 as a structure in which the secondary barrier 200 and the primary barrier 300 are connected by welding.

The corner steel portion 150 is a metal plate bent approximately in an 'L' shape and includes a secondary corner steel 151 fastened to the upper part of the upper corner support plate 132t; Primary corner steel (152), which is a metal plate bent approximately in an 'L' shape and disposed at regular intervals on the upper side of the secondary corner steel (151); Studs (151s) protruding from the upper surface of the secondary corner steel (151); and a fastening hole 152h formed on the primary corner steel 152 and into which the stud 151s is fastened.

The secondary corner steel 151 is a structure in which the ends of the secondary barrier 200 are connected by welding. The secondary corner steel 151 can be viewed as a structure for maintaining airtightness at the level of the secondary barrier 200 at the corner of the storage tank.

As mentioned above, in designing the corner structure of the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention, it is intended to be implemented in a form that connects the wrinkles on the two adjacent inner walls without separately finishing them, so that the barrier on the two inner walls at the corner of the storage tank is The wrinkles 200c and 300c may be connected by an angle piece.

In the drawing, only the primary angle piece connecting the primary wrinkles (300c) at the corner of the storage tank is visible, but it should be understood that the secondary angle piece connecting the secondary wrinkles (200c) is also installed below it. do. The secondary angle piece may have the same bent angle as the primary angle piece, but the direction of the wrinkles may be opposite.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the secondary wrinkles 200c formed on the secondary barrier 200 protrude toward the outside of the storage tank, and the wrinkles of the secondary angle pieces connecting the secondary wrinkles 200c are also stored. Since it is formed to protrude toward the outside of the tank, a plurality of secondary corner steels 151 may be arranged separately at intervals of the secondary corrugations 200c to accommodate the corrugated protruding structure at the corners of the storage tank. .

In other words, the secondary corner steel 151 can be manufactured as a plurality of units and arranged to be spaced apart at regular intervals along the edge direction of the corner of the storage tank, and within the interval of the secondary corner steel 151 arranged adjacent to each other. The secondary wrinkle 200c and the wrinkles of the secondary angle piece can be accommodated.

For reference, Figure 19 shows that not only the secondary corner steel 151 but also the upper corner board 132 to which the secondary corner steel 151 is fastened is provided separately at intervals of the secondary wrinkles 200c. , if sufficient depth is ensured to accommodate the secondary wrinkles (200c) and the wrinkles of the secondary angle piece, only the secondary corner steel (151) is provided separately at intervals of the secondary wrinkles (200c), or as necessary. Accordingly, only the upper corner support plate 132t, which forms the upper surface of the upper corner board 132 together with the secondary corner steel 151, can be provided separately by the interval of the secondary wrinkles 200c. Alternatively, a groove may be formed on the upper surface of the upper corner support plate 132t to accommodate the downward wrinkle structure.

The stud 151s is formed to protrude from the upper surface of the secondary corner steel 151 and is fastened with a fastening hole 152h formed on the primary corner steel 152, which will be described later. That is, the secondary corner steel 151 and the primary corner steel 152 are coupled and connected to each other by fastening the stud 151s and the fastening hole 152h.

The primary corner steel 152 is a structure in which the ends of the primary barrier 300 are connected by welding. The primary corner steel 152 may be viewed as a structure for maintaining airtightness at the level of the primary barrier 300 at the corner of the storage tank.

The first corner steel (152) can be installed on the upper side of the second corner steel (151) at a predetermined distance, and for this purpose, the second corner steel (151) and the first corner steel (152) are spaced apart. A spacer 153 may be installed for support.

The spacer (153) is a structure that supports the secondary corner steel (151) and the primary corner steel (152) while spacing them at a certain interval. If it is possible to secure structural integrity above a certain level, the secondary corner steel (151) It is sufficient even if it is installed occupying only a portion of the area facing the first corner steel (152). The space between the secondary corner steel 151 and the primary corner steel 152, excluding the area where the spacer 153 is installed, can be left as a void space.

In addition, it is also possible to stack the primary corner steel 152 directly on the secondary corner steel 151 without separately providing a spacer 153. In this case, the thickness of the first corner steel 152 will have to be increased as the spacer 153 is excluded. Even if the spacer 153 is excluded, the secondary corner steel 151 and the primary corner steel 152 are provided as separate structures as structures for fixing the secondary barrier 200 and the primary barrier 300, respectively. Of course, the fastening structure using the studs 151s and the fastening holes 152h can be adopted as is.

Meanwhile, similar to the secondary corner steel 151, a plurality of primary corner steels 152 may be provided separately at intervals of the primary wrinkles 300c formed on the primary barrier 300. However, in the case of the secondary corner steel (151), the secondary wrinkles (200c) and the wrinkles of the secondary angle piece must be accommodated between neighboring configurations, so the gap between the neighboring secondary corner steels (151) is 2. It had to be formed at least equal to or larger than the width of the primary wrinkle 200c, but in the case of the primary corner steel 152, the primary wrinkle 300c protrudes toward the inside of the storage tank, so it is not subject to the above limitation.

The primary corner steel (152) can be manufactured separately into a plurality of units to flexibly respond to heat shrinkage, and unless adjacent primary corner steel (152) is placed completely adjacent to each other, there is a slight gap between them. Just by giving it a flexible response to heat shrinkage becomes possible. The gap between the neighboring primary corner steels 152 may be formed at a position corresponding to the primary wrinkle 300c or the wrinkle of the primary angle piece, where the corresponding position means existing within the wrinkle range. You can.

A fastening hole 152h may be formed on the primary corner steel 152 for fastening with a stud 151s formed on the secondary corner steel 151.

A brief look at the installation process of the corner steel part 150 is as follows.

First, the end of the secondary barrier 200 is welded on the secondary corner steel 151, and the secondary wrinkles 200c formed on the two inner walls of the storage tank are connected with a secondary angle piece to finish. At this time, the secondary angle piece is partially overlapped with the secondary barrier 200 and the secondary wrinkle 200c and welded, and the side in contact with the secondary corner steel 151 is welded, and as the work is performed, the storage tank corner Secrecy can be achieved at the secondary barrier 200 level.

Next, install the spacer (153) on the second corner steel (151). The spacer 153 may have a through hole formed so that the stud 151s protruding on the secondary corner steel 151 can pass through. Alternatively, the spacer 153 may be disposed only in a portion of the area between the secondary corner steel 151 and the primary corner steel 152. Alternatively, it is possible for the spacer 153 to be omitted altogether and the first corner steel 152 with a correspondingly increased thickness to be installed directly.

After installing the spacer 153, the first corner steel 152 is installed on it. At this time, the fastening hole 152h formed on the primary corner steel 152 is fastened with the stud 151s protruding from the secondary corner steel 151.

When the installation of the primary corner steel 152 is completed, the end of the primary barrier 300 is welded on the primary corner steel 152 and the primary wrinkles 300c formed on the two inner walls of the storage tank are 1. Finish by connecting with a tea angle piece. At this time, the first angle piece is partially overlapped with the first barrier 300 and the first wrinkle 300c and welded, and the side in contact with the first corner steel 152 is welded, and as the work is performed, the corner of the storage tank is welded. Secrecy can be achieved at the first barrier 300 level. In addition, when welding the end of the primary barrier 300 on the primary corner steel 152, perfect airtightness can be guaranteed by allowing the primary barrier 300 to cover the fastening hole 152h.

In this embodiment, a stud (151s) is formed on the secondary corner steel (151) and a fastening hole (152h) for fastening to the stud (151s) is formed on the primary corner steel (152). Although described above, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. As another embodiment, a structure in which a fastening hole is formed on the secondary corner steel 151, the primary corner steel 152 is stacked, and then the studs are fastened from above may be considered.

In a preferred embodiment, the first corner steel 152 is fixed on the second corner steel 151 by fastening the nut member to the head of the stud 151s while the stud 151s is inserted into the fastening hole 152h. You can. To this end, the fastening hole 152h formed on the primary corner steel 152 may be provided in a stepped form with a hole through which the stud 151s passes and a receiving portion where the nut member is supported.

On the other hand, in the case where the primary wrinkles 300c formed on the primary barrier 300 and the secondary wrinkles 200c formed on the secondary barrier 200 are arranged to be offset from each other, such as in the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention, The design of a structure for fixing and connecting each barrier (200, 300) at the corner of the storage tank is very important. This is because, in a structure in which the pitch intervals of the primary wrinkles (300c) and the secondary wrinkles (200c) are formed differently, a structure (= primary corner steel) that secures the primary barrier (300) when heat shrinkage occurs in each barrier (200, 300) ) This is because the direction of heat contraction acting on the structure (=secondary corner steel) that secures the secondary barrier 200 may be formed differently.

Therefore, the corner steel portion 150, which is a structure that secures the barriers 200 and 300, is also required to have a structure and design that can flexibly respond to heat shrinkage.

The present invention seeks to implement a structure capable of responding to heat shrinkage of the corner steel portion 150 by providing some of the fastening holes 152h formed on the primary corner steel 152 as long hole types. The fastening hole of the present invention can be divided into 'normal type' and 'long hole type', and in order to distinguish it from the normal type fastening hole (152h), an apostrophe (' Please note that an additional ) has been added.

As seen above, the fastening holes 152h and 152h' may have a stepped shape in which the hole portion through which the stud 151s penetrates and the receiving portion where the nut member is received are stepped. In this case, the fastening hole 152h of the general type has a hole portion. It may be provided in a circular shape with a diameter that is the same or similar to that of the stud (151s), and it is sufficient for the receiving portion to be formed at a level that can accommodate the nut member.

On the other hand, the long hole type fastening hole 152h' may have the hole width equal to or similar to the diameter of the stud 151s, but the length may be longer than the diameter of the stud 151s, so the stud 151s It has a structure that allows sliding within the long hole type fastening hole (152h'). The receiving portion of the fastening hole 152h' may also have a shape extending along the longitudinal direction so that the nut member fastened to the stud 151s can slide together.

That is, the corner portion of the liquefied gas insulation system according to the present invention is the primary corner steel coupled to the secondary corner steel 151 and its upper side by a sliding coupling structure of the stud 151s and the long hole type fastening hole 152h'. (152) becomes able to behave relatively flexibly, thereby enabling flexible response to heat shrinkage.

In the present invention, the general type fastening hole 152h and the long hole type fastening hole 152h' may be repeated in any pattern. More specifically, the primary corner steel (152-①) in which a general type fastening hole (152h) and a long hole type fastening hole (152h') are formed on one side and the other side along the extension direction of the storage tank corner, respectively. On the contrary, the first corner steel (152-②) is formed with a long hole type fastening hole (152h') and a general type fastening hole (152h) on one side and the other direction along the extension direction of the corner portion, respectively, and The first corner steel (152-③), in which general-type fastening holes (152h) are formed on both one side and the other side, is arranged in order, and this arrangement is repeated to form a corner steel part ( 150) can be installed.

According to the corner structure of the present invention as described above, as the stud 151s slides within the long hole type fastening hole 152h' in the portion indicated by the dotted box in Figure 19, the secondary corner steel 151 and It is possible to behave flexibly with respect to the relative movement that occurs between the primary corner steel (152), and therefore, even if the heat shrinkage direction acting on the secondary corner steel (151) and the primary corner steel (152) are formed in different directions, You will be able to respond effectively.

In addition, the present invention enables the structure that fixes the barrier at the corner to respond flexibly to heat shrinkage by having a heat shrinkage absorption structure that is repeated in a certain pattern along the corner of the storage tank, and ultimately to the extremely low temperature occurring within the storage tank. It has the effect of significantly improving the structural integrity and stability of the liquefied gas insulation system against heat shrinkage and various loads.

It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
