Definitions
- This invention relates to a container for storing or transporting a liquefied gas at low temperature and at about atmospheric pressure inparticular for storing or transporting liquefied methane or liquefied natural gas.
- the temperature at atmospheric pressure of liquefied methane or natural gas is about minus 160 degrees centigrade.
- the temperature of the container will vary between ambient temperature (container in empty condition) and minus 160 degrees Centigrade (container in loaded condition). Consequently large contractions and expansions of parts of the container are to be expected.
- the container according to the invention comprises a rigid outer shellinternally lined with a heat insulting material and an inner tank in the space enclosed by said heat insulated shell, said inner tank consisting of a rigid top wall and flexible side and bottom walls secured to said rigid top wall, the rigid top wall being supported ,by the rigid outer shell or by an elementfixed to said outer shell and the flexible side and bottom walls being supported by the inner surface of the heat insulating material lining the rigid outer shell internally.
- FIGURES 1 and 2 show cross sections of two different embodiments of the container according to the invention.
- FIGURES 3 and 4 show cross-sections of two diiferent constructions for supporting the rigid top wall of the inner tank.
- FIGURE 5 shows a pump seat for use with the container according to the invention.
- a rigid outer shell 2 made of a suitable metal such as steel as internally lined with a heat insulating material 6 such as balsawood, quippo or any other heat insulating material suitable for use at low temperatures.
- a heat insulating material 6 such as balsawood, quippo or any other heat insulating material suitable for use at low temperatures.
- the inner tank 11 comprises a rigid top wall 1%, and flexible side and bottom walls 8 and 9 secured to the rigid top wall 10.
- the rigid top wall It is supported by the rigid outer shell 2 or by elements fixed to the shell 2.
- the flexible side and bottom walls 8 and 9 are supported by the inner surface of the heat insulating material 6.
- the side and bottom walls 8 and 9 are made of a metal having substantial cold resistance. Suitable metals are amongst others aluminium or stainless steel.
- the walls 8 and 9 3,155,265 Patented Nov. 3, 1964 should be made sufiiciently thin for example in the form of a foil.
- the rigid top wall 10 should also be made of a metal not losing its strength and ductility at the low temperature of the liquid in the container for example of aluminium.
- the top wall 10 can be supported along its edge by means of blocks 12 made of wood or another suitable material of low heat-conductivity. If necessary extra blocks 13 can be used above the top wall 10.
- Theblocks 12 and 13 are secured to the inner surface of the rigid outer shell 2. Instead of the blocks 12 and 13 cables or chains 14 can be used for supporting the rigid top Wall 10.
- Each of the cables 14 is fixed with one end to the rigid top wall It) and with the other end to a deck structure 4.
- Said deck-structure 4 is secured to the outer shell 2.
- the space 15 between the top wall 10 and the deck structure 4 is filled with a suitable heat insulating material for example with glass-wool.
- An opening 16 serves for loading and unloading the inner tank 11 but also as an outlet of vapor derived from vaporization of the liquid cargo.
- the rigid top wall 10 is provided with a trunk 17. Layers of heat insulating material 18 lining the trunk 17 are preferably present. The trunk can be secured to the top wall 10 and to the deck-structure 4.
- the vertical walls 3 of the tank 11 are flexible the vertical expansion and contraction of the inner tank 11 due to temperature changes is accommodated by those walls 8. Furthermore the expansion and contraction of the rigid top wall 10 is accommodated by the special way of supporting it and by the provision of a peripheral spacing.
- the inner tank 11 can be constructed as such and then be lowered as a whole into the space enclosed by the heatinsulated shell 2. Also it is possible to remove the tank 11 as a whole from the space for example after a certain period of use. In other words the inner tank 11 can be easily inspected both before and after a period of use.
- the side walls 8 and the bottom wall 9 of the inner tank 11 are constructed of thin flexible membranes such as aluminium foil. Said walls 8 and 9 are deflected due to the internal pressure in the inner tank 11 into close contact with the inner surface of the heat-insulating material 6.
- the inner tank 11 would not be able to retain its proper configuration by itself if the walls 8 and 9 were not secured to rigid top wall 10. In other words the rigid'top wall 10 prevents the inner tank. 11 from collapsing.
- the walls 8 and 9 are preferably corrugated so that they may readily yield under the internal pressure in the tank 11 into close contact with the heat insulating material 6.
- the heat insulating material 6 must be able to take up the weightof the liquid cargo in the inner tank 11. Consequently said heat insulating material 6 must have a rather high compressive strength. As the top wall 10 is rigid the heat insulating material on top of the wall 10 need however not have a high compressive strength.
- the trunk 17 may be rigidly secured to the deckstructure 4. Instead it may be made slidable so that it can move vertically with respect to the deckstructure 4.
- the rigid outer shell 2 can be formed by the inner hull of a double hull ship or by the cotierdams of such a ship in combination with said inner hull.
- the rigid outer shell 2 is constructed as an inner hull of a ship.
- the inner hull is parallel to and rigidly secured to an outer hull 1.
- the'invention relates both to land storage containers and to ships for transporting liquefied gases.
- a rigid pump seat structure 19 is provided. This structure 19 is supported by a pillow block 29, said pillow block 29 being in its turn supported by a pillow block support 21 made of hardwood.
- the pumpseat structure 19 and the pillow block 20 are made of a metal not losing its strength and ductility at very low temperatures.
- the pillow block 20 and the pump seat 19 are secured to the flexible bottom wall 9 of the inner tank 11 by means of a suitable adhesive.
- the pillow block 2i) is provided on the underside thereof with a projection 22 adapted to be fitted into a recessed groove formed in the top face of the pillow block support 21 with the result that any forces acting upon the pump seat structure 19 due to the operational motion or vibration of the pump and/ or the stirring of the liquid are taken up through the pillow block 20, the support 21 by the outer shell 2, which is sturdy and strong.
- the pillow block support 21, formed of hardwood has a thermal insulating capacity to prevent heat from flowing into the interior of the inner tank 11.
- a container for storing a liquefied gas at low temperature and at about atmospheric pressure comprising a rigid outer shell internally lined with a heat insulatingmaterial and an inner tank in the space enclosed by said hcatinsulated shell, said inner tank consisting of a rigid top wall and flexible side and bottom walls secured to said rigid top wall, the rigid top wall being supported by an element fixed to the rigid outer shell in a manner to permit lateral contraction and-expansion of said 'top wall relative to the outer shell, and the flexible side and bottom walls being supported by the inner surface of the heat insulating material lining the rigid outer shell internally.
