Definitions

  • the invention is concerned with improvements in insulated vessels of the type comprising an insulated storage chamber lined with a membrane of a fluid and vapor impervious material which is insensitive to the temperature of the liquid in contact therewith whereby the membrane, which rests upon the insulation for support, represents the means by which the liquid is retained in the storage space or vessel.
  • Natural gas may be taken as representative of a material which is capable of liquefaction and which is available in large supply in certain areas while being deficient in many others. In such instances, it is desirable to effect distribution of the gas by transmission from the area of plentiful supply to areas where deficiencies exist. Where such areas are connected by land, the gas can be transmitted through suitable pipe lines. However, when the areas are separated by large bodies of water or where the areas are separated by great distances, pipe line transmission may become impractical.
  • liquefied gas For practical operation, it is desirable to provide for storage or transportation of liquefied gas in tanks of large capacity. This limits the operation to storage or transportation in structures maintained at about atmospheric pressure or slightly above. Methane, which represents the principal component of natural gas, has a boiling point of about 258 F. at atmospheric pressure. Thus, liquefied natural gas, which is representative of one of the gases capable of liquefaction, storage and transportation in means embodying the practice of this invention, would be housed at a temperature below about 240 F. to 258 F., depending somewhat upon the amount of heavier hydrocarbons in the gas.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a modular panel embodying the featues of this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the panel of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view showing a plurality of the panels of FIG. 1 in their joined relationship to form a continuous lining;
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional elevational view through an insulated storage tank showing a means for mounting the panels as a lining therein;
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic sectional view of a fragmentary portion of a tank illustrating another means for mounting the lining.
  • the concepts of this invention reside in the construction of a modular panel of the membrane material which can be joined together with other similar panels in sideby-side and in end-to-end relation to form a continuous membrane mounted as a lining on the inner surfaces of the insulated structure whereby the membrane comprises a housing for the cold liquid and which is capable of expansion and contraction due to temperature change While relying upon the insulated structure for support, and for the restraint of hydrostatic and other forces normal to the plane of the membrane.
  • the modular panels are preferably formed to a shape which permits a plurality of panels to be joined in sideby-side and in end-to-end relation to form a continuous lining.
  • use can be made of panels of polygonal shape but its preferred to make use of a panel 10 of rectangular shape, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings.
  • the panel is formed of a sheet material having a relatively flat body portion 12. Embossments are formed in the panel, as by a drawing or stamping operation, to provide a ring 14 in the form of a circular or oval shape in the central portion of the panel with other embossments 16 extending radially outwardly as spokes from the periphery of the ring to the edges 18 of the panel.
  • the embossed spoke sections 16 are arranged at about right angles to each other to extend outwardly from the ring to bisect the edges of the panel.
  • the embossments can be arranged to extend from the ring to the corners of the panel or the embossments can be arranged to extend from the ring at angles of about 45 apart to extend both to the corners and to bisect the edges.
  • the embossments which can extend either forwardly or rearwardly from the body portion, can be either curvilinear or V-shaped or of other shapes in between and they should be formed to a depth at least sufficient to permit deformation in response to the development of force across the face of the panel to supply material at least in the amount of shrinkage or to take up material in the amount of expansion taking place in the panel in any direction due to temperature change.
  • the panel or an assembly of panels will be able to retain its original dimension notwithstanding the amount or direction of contraction or expansion taking place.
  • the panels can be anchored at spaced apart points, preferably at flat portions, as by means of studs 20, onto the supporting insulated structure or other support while the body portion of the panel remains free of the supporting structure and is thus capa ble of expansion and contraction movements Without change in the dimension of the panel.
  • the panels can be arranged in side-by-side and in end-toend relation with the edges overlapping one another by a slight amount, as illustrated in FIG. 3, to bring the embossed portions of one into nesting relationship with the embossed portions of the other panels adjacent thereto.
  • the overlapping edges of the panels can be joined by suitable joining means, such as by adhesive, welding or brazing if formed of metal, or by welding or adhesive if formed of plastic sheet stock, to etfect a sealing relationship between the panels. This will form a continuous impervious membrane as a lining about the adjacent inner wall of the insulated housing.
  • the lining can be supported within the insulated structure 22 as by the use of hanger rods or studs 20 having arms 21 extending into operative engagement with the insulation 24 or having rods 23 extending through the insulation for attachment to the structural wall 26 of the tank.
  • the hanger rods preferably engage the panels at their corner intersections where the edges of the panels making up the intersection overlap to provide multiple thicknesses of a material to enhance the interconnection.
  • each panel will be joined to the insulated structure for support at each of its corner sections while the remainder of the panel is free of the insulated support to enable expansion and contraction independent of the insulated support.
  • the entire lining 28 formed of the joined panels 10 can be supported within the insulated structure along the upper edge to more or less suspend the lining as a shell or curtain over the insulation 24, as by the use of an expansible ring of the type more fully defined in US. Patent No. 2,954,- 892, or by the use of an upper edge 30 which overhangs a support 32 in the upper portion of the insulated structure in the manner of a hanger bracket, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the liquid head 34 will be sufficient to urge the lining formed of the joined panels outwardly into engagement with the adjacent surface of the insulated structure for support, the shrinkage normally taking place when the metal of the panels is cooled to the temperature of the liquid in contact therewith being counteracted by the elastic or reversible deformation of the empossed portions.
  • the metal lining rises in temperature upon being freed of the liquid, the expansion normally taking place is satisfied by return of the embossed portions to normal dimension whereby the panel can continue to rest upon the insulated structure for support or shift away therefrom.
  • Such deformation of the embossed portions to provide for lateral movement of the flat portions to compensate for expansion and contractions, respectively, is readily accomplished such that the lining can be supported in the manner described from the insulation or the insulated structure while relying upon the insulation for support.
  • embossed portions within each panel is designed to intersect the multi-directional forces in the plane of the membrane developing in the panels responsive to change in temperature.
  • anchor the panels at spaced apart portions for support without interfering with the ability of each of the modular panels to expand or retract in response to temperature change. This minimizes the development of destructive forces. It also permits such expansions and contractions to take place without change in the overall dimension of the panels.
  • the panels are formed of a gauge or thickness incapable of self-sufficiency under load, it is desirable to rely upon the insulation for support whereby liquid load is transmitted through the lining to the insulated structure.
  • the insulation which can be used are built-up layers or panels of balsa, Quippo, or the like highly porous woods, honeycomb insulation or panels having the pores running in the crosswise direction between the metal lining and the structurally strong, and preferably fluid and vapor impervious, outer wall.
  • the modular panels can be formed of any fluid or vapor impervious material which retains its strength and resiliency at the temperature conditions to which it will be exposed.
  • a sheet formed of a metal such as aluminum or alloys of aluminum, copper, brass, high nickel steels or austenitic steels.
  • Use can also be made of plastic sheet stock, glass fiber reinforced plastics, or combinations of metals and plastics such as metal-clad laminates.
  • a lining formed of sheets having a thickness greater than 4 mils can be used but it is preferred to make use of sheets having a thickness within the range of 10 to mils.
  • an insulated container for housing liquefied gas in large volume including an outer shell, an insulation layer lining the inner surface of the outer shell and an inner shell formed of a membrane of fluid and vapor impervious material which retains its strength and ductility at the cold temperatures of the liquefied gas, said shell being formed of a plurality of modular rectangular panels of thin sheet material arranged in side-by-side and in end-to-end relation and joined one to another in sealing relation along the adjacent edges to form the continuous membrane, embossments in each of said panels comprising a ring-like embossment in the central portion of the panel and linear embossments extending radially outwardly from the periphery of the ring to the edges of the panel, and means for supporting the shell of joined panels adjacent the inner face of the insulation layer, the panels being secured at the corners formed by adjacent sides to the insulation while being free of the insulation through the remainder thereof.
  • an insulated container for housing liquefied gas in large volume including an outer shell, an insulating layer lining the inner surface of the outer shell and an inner shell formed of a membrane of fluid and vapor impervious material which retains its strength and ductility at the cold temperatures of the liquefied gas, said shell being formed of a plurality of interfitting polygonal panels of thin sheet material having corners formed by adjacent polygonal sides and arranged in interfitting relation with adjacent sides joined to one another in sealing relation along the adjacent edges to form the con tinuous membrane, embossments in each of said panel comprising a ring-like embossment in the central por tion of the panel and linear embossments extending radially outwardly from the periphery of the ring to tht edges of the panel, and means for securing the panel: at their corners only to the insulation, the panels being free of the insulation through the remainder thereof.
