Definitions

  • a fluid storage heat-insulated container wall construction comprising from inside towards outside: one primary, fluid-coniining, inner, impervious, flexible, barrier sheet; at least one secondary impervious, flexible, 'barrier sheet, said primary and secondary barrier sheets being applied against each other; at least one layer of insulating material supporting said primary and secondary barrier sheets and adjacent to the outer face of said secondary barrier sheet; connecting means for fastening said barrier sheets to said insulating material and adapted to hold said barrier sheets against relative motions; and an outer carrying structure supporting said insulating material which is secured thereto.
  • the present invention has essentially for is object a device constituting a continuous, duid-tight and insulated wall, as well as its various applications.
  • these two respectively primary and secondary barriers are spaced from each other ⁇ by providing therebetween an intermediate gap advantageously filled with a layer of insulating materials supporting the primary barrier applied against said layer, the latter either supporting the secondary barrier applied against the opposite face of said layer or being applied directly against said secondary barrier, the latter being supported in turn by an external structure to which said secondary barrier is secured with the interposition, if desired, of another intermediate insulating layer.
  • the wall assembly constitutes, when seen in section, a kind of sandwich.
  • i963 ICC or tank will have substantially the same very low temperature as the fluid, whereas the secondary barrier will be at a higher temperature.
  • This temperature differential is objectionable, if not as a risk or danger in itself, in that it promotes the sudden vaporisation of the enclosed liquefied gas in case of leakage of the confined iiuid through the primary barrier, into the space provided between the two barriers, in case of insufiicient fluid-tightness of said primary barrier, and therefore the generation of an overpressure likely to tear ofi or at least cause the sheets or plates constituting said barriers to swell or buckle.
  • the volume or quantity of dry inert gas such as nitrogen which is generally introduced and kept therein under relative overpressure conditions (in relation to the surrounding atmosphere) may be relatively considerable due to the aforesaid importance of the intermediate space involved, notably in the case of tanks of relatively large size.
  • the wall-forming device according to this invention is remarkable notably in that the aforesaid primary and secondary barriers respectively are applied against or superposed to each other, so as to be in direct mutual contact, and that theyv engage said adjacent insulating layer with the outer face of said secondary barrier which comprises means for attachment or connection to said insulating layer, said means being adapted to hold said barriers against motion respectively in the normal tearing directions and tangent slipping directions.
  • the secondary barrier is at substantially the same temperature as the primary barrier, so that no sudden or very rapid vaporization of the liquefied gas can take place in case of leakage through the primary barrier into the separation gap or space.
  • said primary and secondary barriers are frequently made of relatively thin and flexible, corrugated, pleated or like waved sheets or plates, in order to impart thereto the flexibility necessary to permit their free deformation by thermal expansion or contraction, so that in the case of primary and secondary barriers having their corrugations substantially symmetrical with respect to the plane of separation of said barriers, and if these corrugations register substantially with one another, the intermediate space available between said barriers and constituted by pairs of adjacent corresponding corrugations of each vbarrier is relatively small and therefore, for a given sensitivity of the leakage detecting apparatus, it will be casier to trace leakages.
  • the channels constituted by these substantially tubular spaces bounded by the registering waves of said sheets or plates will facilitate the eduction of vapors likely to be formed therein, thus eliminating any risk of relatively high local overpressures likely to cause the tearing of said sheets or plates.
  • the volume of inert gas which is necessary for filling said intermediate space or gap is reduced proportionally.
  • the aforesaid attachment or connecting means consist of a plurality of fastening members constituting anchoring, sea-ling or like blocks, rigid with, and in fluidtight relation to, the outer face of said secondary barrier, said fastening members being distributed over the entire area of said face and projecting externally therefrom; said blocks are fitted, embedded, fixed or set in the aforesaid adjacent insulating layer and comprise on the one hand retaining means for holding said insulating layer and on the other hand means for fastening said primary barrier.
  • each anchoring block aforesaid is of substantially cylindrical, conoidal, prismatoidal or pyramidal composite configuration with the free end or base 1provided with at least one substantially sidewise projecting portion forming a flange, ledge, shoulder, collar or the like, constituting said holding means.

  • each local fastening, yfor example by means of screws, of said primary barrier is concealed or covered in a duid-tight manner on the inner side either by a primary barrier sheet-metal element, connected along its edge by a fluidtight lap joint, for example a lap joint welded to said primary ybarrier sheet-metal element held by said screw fastening means, or by a preferably ldomed cap or the like fitting over said fastening zone and secured by a duidtight peripheral joint, notably a welded joint, on the inner face of said primary lbarrier.
  • the present invention is also concerned, by way of novel industrial products, with said anchoring blocks designed for fastening said barriers.
  • the present invention also contemplates the method of manufacturing fluid-tight walls of the type set forth hereinabove which results from the construction of these walls.
  • the present invention is concerned more particularly with tanks, vats, cisterns, caissons, reservoirs, holds, bunkers, chambers or the like, constructed by using walls of the type set forth hereinabove, and notably tanks of the -so-called integrated or built-in type forming an integral part either of the hull of ships, or of the sup-porting structure of fixed or movable installations.
