Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a storage installation and more particularly to a below-surface storage installation having a peripheral gas-tight seal. 7
  • An important object of this invention is to facilitate the storage of low temperature materials with minimum heat loss therefrom.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a liquid storage installation which insures a permanent vapor-tight s'eal.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an under- I ground liquid storage installation which does not necessitate the use of extensive dikes.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide a storage installation having a seal forming a part thereof which is readily constructed out of existing material.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a storage installation which may be quickly and economically installed under adverse terrain conditions.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a gastight seal utilizing a trench filled with freezable liquid.
  • a novel storage installation which comprises a depression or excavation formed in the surface of the ground about which is disposed a foundation member. Between the periphery of the depression or excavation and the foundation member is constructed a relatively narrow trench into which is placed a f quantity of liquid, such as water, which freezes above the temperature of the liquid stored in the tank.
  • a relatively impervious roof member is seated upon the foundation and extends over the storage installation itself. Secured to the roof member at a point between the trench and the outside edge of the foundation members is a sheet of relatively impervious sealing material having one edge projecting into the liquid which is contained within the trench.
  • FIGURE 1 represents a top plan view of a storage installation having a portion of a roof member cut away to show a gas seal associated therewith;
  • FIGURE 2 represents a cross-sectional view taken on line 2-2 of FIGURE 1 showing a novel sealing arrangement illustrating one embodiment of the invention
  • FIGURE 3 represents a detailed representation of a portion of the structure shown in FIGURE 2 showing the position of a sealing member in relation to a liquid-filled trench.
  • FIGURES 1 and 2 there is shown along the surface of the earth means for supporting a roof or cover which may include a closed, continuous footing 11 which can be partially buried, as indicated in FIGURE 2, or which may be installed directly on the surface of the ground. While the footing is shown in the drawing as being of a particular shape, it is to be understood that other forms may be used. For example, pilings may be substituted for the disclosed structure, or a plurality of spot footings may be utilized. Resting upon footing 11 is a cover or roof 12. which is disclosed in the drawing as being of hemispherical cross section, although it is to be understood that the roof may be any of several shapes Well known in the art.
  • Roof 12 is constructed of a material which is relatively impervious to vapors from the stored liquid, such as steel, rubberized canvas, plastic sheeting or other materials which will be obvious to one skilled in the art. Suitable means such as bolts, nails or other structure well known in the art may be used to maintain the roof on footing 11. Located beneath roof 12 is a depression 13 in the surface of the earth which may be excavated in any particular shape or which may be a naturally occurring irregularity in the ground. If it is desired, a quantity of sealing material 14 may be secured to the inner walls of depression 13 to prevent the escape of stored material. This sealing material may be any one of several satisfactory materials well known in the art, such as gunnite, concrete or plastic sheeting, to mention a few. It is contemplated that such sealing material will not be necessary except in unconsolidated formations.
  • A'continuous sealing member 19 is secured to a portion of the lower surface of roof 12 in a gas-tight seal at a point between trench 17 and the outside edge of footing 11.
  • This seal may be effected by a clamp 20, by adhesive material, or by other means Well known in the art.
  • member 19 may be formed of relatively rigid material such as metal sheeting or preferably of flexible material such as plastic, rubberized canvas and the like.
  • the other edge of sealing member 19 is placed within the liquid 18 in trench 17.
  • a quantity of insulating material such. as felt, perlite or the like may be disposed along the bottom of member 19. Such insulation has the advantage of protecting footings 11 from thermal fluctuations as well as preventing heat leak into the storage area.
  • a storage installation which comprises a reservoir formed in the ground, a cover extending over said reservoir, a trench peripherally disposed around said reservoir beneath said cover, a quantity of material within said trench, a quantity of fluid within said reservoir, said fluid being at a temperature sufliciently lower than the freeze point of the material in said trench to freeze said material and a sealing member secured to said cover on the oppotsite side of said trench from said reservoir, said sealing member being of suiiicientflexibilityto move into sealing engagement with the side of said trench opposite said reservoir under the action of -7super-atmospheric pressure within said reservoir, a portion of saidsealing member projecting into the material within said trench.
  • a storageinstallation for a liquid which comprises a depression in the earth, a quantity of fluid within said depression, a cover extending over said depression, a trench disposed under said cover along theouter periphery of said'depression, a quantity of frozen, normally liquid material within said trench, said material having a freezing point above the temperature of the liquid within said reservoir, and a sealing member secured to said cover and projecting into the material Within said trench.
  • sealing member comprises a flexible sheet of relatively impervious material.
  • a reservoir a closed continuous trench disposed around the periphery of said reservoir, a quantity of liquid within said trench, a roof'overlying said reservoir and a sealing member depending from said roof and projecting into the'liquid within said trench; the improvement which comprises placing a quantity of relatively low temperature material'in said reservoir to freeze the liquid within said trench to effect a relatively rigid, gas-tight seal between said sealing member and said frozen liquid, said relatively low temperature material being sufficiently lower than the freezepoint of the liquid in t-hetrench whereby heat adsorption causes the liquid in the trench to freeze.
  • the method of forming a gas-tight seal around said depression which comprises the steps of forming a continuous closed trench entirely beneath said roof, filling said trench with water, securing one edge of 'a continuous, flexible, sealing member to said roof on the side of said trench away from said depression, locating an edge of said member within the water in said trench and placing a quantity of relatively low temperature material insaid reservoir to freeze said water to effect a relatively rigid, gas-tight seal between said sealing member and the frozen water-within said trench, said relatively low temperature material being sufliciently lower than the freeze point of the water in the trench'w-hereby heat adsorption causes the water in the trench to freeze.
  • a storage installation which comprises a depression" in the ground, a footing on the periphery of said dgprssion, an impervious cover extending over said depression and seated on said footing, a trench disposed between said depression and said footing, a quantity of'ice within said trench, a quantity of liquid within said depression, said liquid being at a sufliciently low temperature to maintain said ice in a frozen condition, and a flexible sealing member secured to said cover on the side of said trench opposite said depression, a portion of said sealing member projecting into the ice within said trench, and another portion of said sealing member being supported between said footing and said trench, said sealing member being of sufficient flexibility to move into sealing engagement with the side of said trench opposite said depression under the action of super-atmospheric pressure within said reservoir.
  • a method for forming a gas-tight seal for a reservoir which comprises the steps of forming a trench adjacent said reservoir, placing a gas-tight cover over the top of said reservoir, placing a quantity of liquid in said trench, projecting a portion of a relatively impervious membrane from said cover into said liquid and placing a quantity of relatively low temperature material in said reservoir to freeze said liquid in the trench whereby a gas-tight seal is formed between said membrane and the frozen liquid within said trench.
