Patented Feb. 22, 1949 sures QFFlQE PRESSURE VESSEL FOR STORAGE OF LIQUIDS AT ABNORMALLY EEGH R LOW TEMPERATURES Harry G. Boardman, Chicago, 111., assignor to Chi. cago Bridge & Iron Company, a corporation of Illinois This invention relates to a pressure vessel for the storage of liquids at abnormally high or low temperatures.
The present'invention is particularly adapted for the storage of liquids at low temperaturesand high pressures. It may also be used for the storage of hot liquids at high pressure. The ordinary carbon steel loses a great deal of its impact strength at very low or very high temperatures. For example, at temperatures suitable for the storage of liquefied hydrocarbons it is desirable to employ Monel metal or other high nickel alloys. In accordance with the present invention, a relatively thin inner shell member of temperature-resistant metal, such as Monel metal may be employed in the form of a fluid-tight shell of intersecting spherical segments. The outward stresses of these segments are transmitted along the lines of intersection to insulating supports of non-metallic material such as Marinite to an outer shell which is preferably fluid-tight and is preferably in the form of a regular polyhedron. This outer shell may be made of common carbon steel.
The invention is illustrated in the drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of one form of the improved tank; Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken along the line 2-2 in Fig. 1'; Fig. 3 is a section taken along the line 3-3 in Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the outside of the inner shell; Fig. 5 is a plan view of a modified form of the invention; and F g. 6 is a section taken along the line 6-5 in Fig. 5.
In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the spherical segments in intersect along the lines II which all fall in the planes of the diagonals of the cubical outer shell l2. The radially outward components of the stresses of the spherical segments are carried by. non-metallic insulating supporting members I3 which extend to theedg'es of the cube [2. The cube I2 is made up of welded plates of ordinary carbon steel. The space 84 between the inner and outer shells is preferably evacuated in any suitable manner. Liquid may be introduced to and withdrawn from the inner shell in the usual manner by any pipe (not shown). The foundations for the vessel are not part of the present invention and accordingly are not shown. It will be observed that the apex I5 of each circular segment lies on the perpendicular from the center of the adjoining side l6 of the cube, and that planes connecting the adjacent corners of the intersections would form an inscribed cube.
In the form shown in Figures 5 and 6, the exterior shell 12a is dodecahedral in shape, and the intersecting spherical segments Illa are twelve in number, the center of each segment again, however, being located on a perpendicular beneath the center of each side. The spherical segments are supported along the lines of intersection Ha by the Marinite supports I311. which extend in each. case to, and only to. an edge of the outer dodecahedral shell.
The thin inner shell is free to expand and contract between the points of support, changing its radius of curvature as it does so.
The spherical segments need not have the sameradius of curvature or the same thickness. Differences in the stresses which must be carried by the various segments may be adjusted by varying the thickness and holding the radius of curvature constant, or by varying the radius of curva- The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: l
1. A pressure vessel for storing liquids at extremely high or low temperatures comprising an outer shell in the form of a polyhedron of carbon steel, diagonal insulating supports extending inwardly from the edges of said polyhedron to the intersections of spherical segments equal in number to the faces of the polyhedron and arranged symmetrically with respect to the sides thereof, the spherical segments being composed of a metal capable of retaining a substantial part of its strength at extreme temperatures, and forming a fluid-tight shell.
2. A vessel as set forth in claim 1, in which the polyhedron is a cube. I
3. A vessel as set forth in clainr-l, in which the polyhedron is a dodecahedron.
4. A pressure vessel for storing liquids at extremely high or low temperatures comprising: an outer shell in the form of a regular polyhedron; an inner shell made up of. a plurality of spherical segments, said spherical segments being composed of a metal capable of retaining a substantial part of its strength at extreme temperatures and said spherical segments intersecting in lines lying in the plane of the diagonals of said outer shell, and a plurality of insulating su ports disposed only along said intersections,
said insulating supports transmitting to the outer inner shell comprises six spherical segments and t the outer shell is made up of six correspondingly disposed equal plane sides forming a cube.
8. A vessel as set forth in claim 4 in which the outer shell is in the form of a regular dodecahedron and each face of the dodacahedron is subtended by one spherical segment.
