Definitions

  • liquefied gases are the hydrocarbons having a boiling point at or somewhat below ambient temperature (eg. methane, ethane and propane), ammonia and the like.
  • ambient temperature eg. methane, ethane and propane
  • ammonia ammonia and the like.
  • the tanks must be mounted in the hold of the ship so as to be thermally insulated from the hull and yet must be firmly secured therein to eliminate undue stress upon the receptacle walls and the mounting assemblies arising from the motions of the ship during sea travel in stormy or calm waters.
  • the liquefied-gas receptacles are provided with walls of a generally corrugated construction formed by welding together cylindrical shell segments along generatrices of the segments.
  • the output stresses upon the walls are taken up by tension members spanning the ice containers and welded to the walls at the seams between the cylindrical sections.
  • double-wall vessels are provided with thermal insulation between the outer wall and the hull of the ship and between the shells forming the walls.
  • thernounting assemblies for retaining the receptacles in the ships hull are designed to permit movement of the walls generally parallel to themselves for thermal expansion and contraction to prevent shear stresses on the mounting means and for compensating the thermal distortion of the receptacle walls. In some cases, such structures are relatively expensive because they involve multiple welded seams which must be tested and which may fail under stress.
  • the principal object of the present invention to provide an improved container structure for the transportation of liquefied gases in tankships and the like.
  • Another object of my invention is to provide an improved method of making a receptacle of this character.
  • Still a further object of the instant invention resides in the provision of a receptacle for the low-temperature storage of liquids which are gaseous at ambient temperatures, the receptacles being characterized by a minimum number of weld seams, by high structural strength, by the capacity to compensate for thermal changes in dimension and by particularly convenient configuration whereby the container may be mounted in the hold of a seagoing vessel.
  • a method of making a container for receiving liquefied gases which comprises the steps of mounting a plurality of planar aluminum sheets in respectlve, generally rectangular frames, assembling the frames into a prismatic receptacle structure and sealing the structure against escape of fiuid therefrom, cooling the walls of the structure to temperatures of C. and below to effect a plastic deformation shrinkage of the plates spanning the frames, thereafter raising the temperature of the walls to effect corrugation thereof, and introducing liquefied gas to be transported into the receptacle thus formed.
  • the cooling of the receptacle is preferably carried out by treating the walls with a liquefied gas or freshly vaporized liquefied gases.
  • the receptacle is constituted of fiat sheets of aluminum so assembled that their edges and corners are in force-transmitting relationship with the walls, edges: and corners of the ships hull and are secured thereto via a layer of load-supporting thermal insulation,
  • the edges and corners are maintained at their original spaced relationship by the steel plates of the ships hull so that the initial plastic deformation of the plates is effected by thermally tensioning the plates in a frame formed by the edge and comer members and the hull walls. It is within this frame that the subsequent expansion of the sheet-aluminum plates is effected to produce the corrugations.
  • the edge profile bars at the corner of a rectangular or trapezoidally prismatic vessel are reinforced by generally cubic corner bodies secured by bolt assemblies of low thermal conductivity in three mutually perpendicular and spaced directions to the ships hull in force-transmitting fashion. Furthermore, it is advantageous to provide, in some cases, between the sheet metal aluminum plates deformed to have wrinkles, corrugations or folds by warming subsequently to a deep-cooling, with spacer studs or pins bridging the space between these plates and the ships hull, the pins being affixed to the plates and the hull and affording limited movement of the receptacle walls parallel to the plane of the plate.
  • Still another aspect of this invention resides in the provision of the vessel as a so-called intermediate skin or barrier between the actual liquid container and the ships hull.
  • one or more inner vessels may be received in the intermediate receptacle which is supported on and affixed to the hull wall by load-supporting insulation while a layer of relatively elastic or yieldable nonload-supporting thermal insulation is disposed between the inner vessel and the intermediate receptacle
  • This further insulation layer can be composed of fibrous metallurgical slags, loose, crushed mineral or packed comminuted insulation or any of the powder insulations described in Evacuated Powder Insulation for Low Temperatures, volume 1, pages 63-84 (Progress in Cryogenics).
  • One such system includes a shear rail carried by the base of the inner vessel and longitudinally shiftable against friction forces in a channel lined with a thermal insulation of load-supporting character.
  • the insulation layer may, in turn, be received within a longitudinally extending trough formed on the hull of the ship.
  • FIG. 1 is a lperspective view of a corner of a receptacle in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view through one of the lower edges thereof, showing how the receptacle is affixed to the ships hull and can be provided with an inner vessel;
  • FIG. 3 is a detail View of the bolt assembly of low thermal conductivity
  • FIG. 4 is an elevational view, greatly reduced in scale by comparison with FIGS. 1-3, showing one wall of the receptacle after thermal deformation;
  • FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional detail view of the deformed wall.
  • a principal feature of this invention resides in the discovery that walls of relatively large area can be made sufliciently flexible to permit thermal expansion and contraction withot the numerous seams hitherto required.
  • the sheet 1 of aluminum is secured peripherally, i.e. along both sets of mutually parallel sides of the rectangular sheet 1, to a frame F, made up of four relatively thick angle-profile members 2 which have inner marginal portins 3 converging from the thickness T of the rigid profiles to the thickness t of the sheet 1.
  • the sheet 1 is buttwelded at 1 to the marginal portions 3 of the frame members 2 which themselves are buttwelded to the transition flanges 5 of corner reinforcing cubes 4 at seams 5.
  • the profiles 2 are here of right-angle cross-section, the flanges of which lie in the plane of the paper or extend outwardly therefrom toward the viewer.
  • the frame F is rendered rigid by bolt assemblies 7 which are spaced therearound and by bolt assemblies 8 transfixing the corner reinforcements to the hull of the ship (cf. FIG. 3).
  • Bolts 7 represent thermally nonconductive assemblies which position the walls of the receptacle in load-supporting beds of thermal insulation. After the receptacle has been assembled in this manner and any opening between the walls has been eliminated by appropriate welding (the bolt head being welded in a fluidtight manner to the inner surface of the wall), liquefied gas at a temperature below 160 C. is introduced into the receptacle.
  • the sheet 1 stretched within the frame F undergoes plastic deformation and, upon removal of the liquefied gas and warming of the vessel to ambient temperature, wrinkles, folds or corrugates as diagrammed in FIGS. 4 and 5 to provide a wall capable of compensating for thermal stress by a bellows-like movement in the plane of the wall.
  • the profiles F', F and F" are joined at a corner (FIG. 1) by the reinforcing cube 4a to form a rectangular parallelepipedal configuration.
  • the lower lefthand L-section profile F has its horizontal flange 2a welded via a beveled transition part 3a at the seam 1a to the aluminum sheet 1a while its vertical flange is welded via transition portion 3a to the vertical aluminum sheet 1b.
  • the vertical flange of profile F is bolted via bolt assemblies represented at 7a to the vertical portion of the ships hull while the horizontal flange of profile F is bolted at assembly 7a to the floor of the inner wall of the hull by the assemblies represented at FIG. 3.
  • the reinforcing members 4a at the corners of the receptacle have L-shaped transition flanges 5a which are welded at L- shaped seams 5a to the angular profile F" as well as L- shaped flanges 5b and 5c welded respectively along right angles to the profiles F and F which, together with profile F form the corner.
  • the profile F" has a transition bevel 3b which is welded at seam 1a to sheet 1a and a vertical flange whose transition piece 3b" is welded to the vertical sheet 1c.
  • the vertical edge profile F has transition pieces 3c and 3c buttwelded to the vertical aluminum sheets 1b and 1c.
  • each profile F', F, and F forming junctions with the reinforcing cube 4a, beveled edges 6 are provided.
  • the corner members 4a are secured to the ships hull by sets of bolts of low thermal conductivity, represented at 8a, 8b and 8c passing through the faces 8a', 8b and 8c of the cube in three mutually perpendicular directions.
  • the corner members 4a are thus firmly aflixed to the Ships hull to lock the frame and receptacle corner to the latter lagainst expansion and contraction.
  • the profile flanges 2, 2a, 2b and 2c and the corner reinforcements 4a are affixed in force-transmitting relationship to the ships hull by bolt assemblies which are represented generally at 7 in FIG. 3 and have relatively low thermal conductivities.
  • Each assembly 7 may thus comprise a bolt 71 which passes through a slot 72 in the profile (or the corner reinforcement) to permit some expansion and contraction movement of the members (and the respective frames F etc,), while the bolt heads 73 and washers 74 overlie the slots 72.
  • a weld is formed between the head 73 and the washer as represented at 75 and between the washer and the profile as represented at 76.
  • the receptacle and frames are retained by the bolt assemblies in spaced relationship from the ships hull via pedestals formed by internally threaded metal sleeves 24 welded at 24 to the ships hull 10.
  • Cylindrical spacers or studs 25 of fiber-reinforced synthetic resin e.g. glass-fiber-containing phenolformaldehyde resins of low thermal conductivity, preferably resins of the Ferrocell type
  • Fiber-reinforced synthetic resin e.g. glass-fiber-containing phenolformaldehyde resins of low thermal conductivity, preferably resins of the Ferrocell type
  • FIG. 2 I show details of an assembly in which the receptacle composed of profiles F', F" and F" forms an intermediate shell or inner skin in which inner vessels V are disposed.
  • a loose or packed insulation represented at 12 in the gap between the walls 13 of the vessel V and the wrinkled plates 1 of the intermediate barrier, this layer of insulation being relatively yieldable or elastic to permit relative movement of the walls 1, 13 under thermal variations. While only a single vessel V is shown, it will be understood that a number of such vessels may be provided Within each receptacle, the latter forming fluid compartments of the hold of the ship preventing escaped low-temperature liquid from contacting the hull.
  • the inner tanks or vessels V are provided with feet 14 which rest upon blocks 15 of load-supporting thermal insulation resting upon the plate 1 of the bottom frame of the intermediate receptacle.
  • a further block of load-supporting insulation represented at 16 and disposed between the hull 10 and the intermediate shell, thereby transferring the load of the vessel V directly to the hull.
  • I provide a shear rail 23 which is frictionally retained and thermally insulated from the hull and the intermediate receptacle in accordance with the principles set forth in commonly assigned application Ser. No. 664,066, filed Aug. 29, 1967, and entitled Tankship for Liquefied Gases.
  • the shear rail 23 is a bar received in a channel-shaped layer 22 of load-supporting thermal insulation which is separated via a sheet metal partition 21, welded via aluminum profiles 32 in the bottom frame formed by profiles 1 and 2, so that the intermediate barrier extending below the vessel V is uninterrupted.
  • the sheet aluminum partition 21 receiving the channel-shaped insulation 22 is supported by further blocks 20 and 20' of such insulation between a pair of guide rails 17 anchored via webs 18 and weldments 18 to the floor of the ship. In this manner, any leaking liquefied gas is prevented by the intermediate barrier from contacting the ships hull in spite of the fact that the inner vessels V are supported thereon and in force-transmitting relationship therewith. Relative movement between the inner vessels V and the intermediate barrier or receptacle is permitted without stress.
  • the support structures and thermal expansion and contraction of the intermediate barrier or receptacle is allowed without stressing the pedestals or bolt assemblies 7.
  • a tankship for the transportation of liquefied gas having a hull, and a receptacle received in said hull and in load-transmitting relationship therewith, the improvement wherein said receptacle is' generally prismatic and comprises a plurality of angularly adjoining walls including at least one wall secured to said hull, said walls each being formed with a peripheral relatively rigid metallic frame, a relatively flexible sheet spanning said frame and welded peripherally thereto; mounting means for afixing said Walls in spaced relation and in forcetransmitting relationship to said hull at the respective frame; at least one liquefied gas-containing inner vessel mounted within said receptacle in spaced relationship from said walls; means affording relative movement of said inner vessel and said walls and relative movement of said inner vessel and said hull; a first layer of thermal insulation filling the space between said hull and said walls; and a second layer of thermal insulation filling the space between said vessel and said walls.
  • said second layer includes an elastic layer of insulation between said inner vessel and at least one of said walls of said receptacle, said rst layer consisting of load-supporting insulation.
  • said inner vessel is provided with a plurality of feet resting upon a wall of said receptacle, further comprising a first body of load-transmitting thermal insulation between each of said feet and the respective wall of said receptacle, and a second body of load-transmitting thermal insulation between the region of the wall of this receptacle beneath the respective foot and said hull.
  • said receptacle further comprises generally prismatic corner reinforcements at junctions of three of said walls, and bolt means of low thermal conductivity connecting said reinforcements with said hull.
  • said mounting means includes spacers between said walls and said hull and aliixed to said walls for permitting limited movement of said walls in the plane of the respective plates.
