Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Apparatus for mounting a low temperature liquid storage tanks is operable to substantially prevent shifting movement of the whole tank while permitting the thermal expansion and contraction of the tank.
  • the apparatus includes cylinder units installed between the tank supporting structure and the tank and connected in pairs by hydraulic circuits which are so arranged that quick shifting movement of the tank is prevented by hydraulic pressures in the circuits while the slow thermal expanding and contracting movements of the tank are permitted by the flow of liquid in the circuits.
  • said tank is supported in such a manner that it is free to move, this would be undesirable from the standpoint of safety in that the tank would be improperly and impulsively moved to and fro by the pitching and rolling oscillations of the hull Therefore, it will be understood that said tank must be supported by a suitable means which effectively prevents the movement of the tank due to the oscillations of the hull while permitting the expanding and con tracting movements caused by temperature differences of the tank.
  • the present invention relates principally to the mounting of low temperature liquefied gas storage tanks placed in the hold of a ship and provides apparatus which permits the expansion and contraction of such tank due to changes in the temperature thereof but does not permit relative shifting movement between the tank and the hull due to the oscillations thereof.
  • the relatively slow thermal expansion and contraction of the tank can be permitted.
  • Apparatus for mounting a low temperature liquid storage tank comprises a plurality of cylinder assemblies each including at least one cylinder unit having a cylinder member and a piston rod member; means mounting the cylinder assemblies between the. tank and the tank supporting structure with one of the cylinder and piston rod members of each cylinder unit operatively associated with the tank, with the other of said members operatively associated with the tank supporting structure and with the piston rod member disposed on a reference line intersecting the center axis of the tank; and, said cylinder assemblies being provided with hydraulic circuit means so arranged that the thermal expanding and contracting movements of the tank are permitted by fluid flow in said circuit means but a shifting movement of the tank is opposed by hydraulic pressure in the circuit means of at least one of said cylinder assemblies.
  • the utilization of the present invention makes it possible to positively prevent the tank from being suddenly shifted as the ship oscillates while satisfactorily permitting thermal expansion and contraction incidental to temperature changes.
  • the apparatus of the present invention comprises cylinder assemblies each having two cylinder units arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of a tank, wherein the hydraulic circuit means establishes communication between the cylinder chamber of one cylinder unit, which will be pressurized due to the thermal expansion or contraction of the tank starting with the center of the tank as the origin, and the cylinder chamber of the other cylinder unit, which at that time will be depressurized, whereby the movement of the whole tank is completely prevented by the hydraulic pressures.
  • the use of the invention as an apparatus for mounting tanks in the hold of a ship makes it possible to completely prevent the tanks from being moved even if the periods of pitching and rolling are relatively long or the hull remains tilted.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic section showing a tank installed in the hull of a ship;
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional elevation showing vertical load supporting means for the tank of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of the tank of FIG. 1 showing the layout of cylinder assemblies in a first embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 9 is an enlarged sectional elevation of a pair of members in the rotation preventive means of FIG. 8;
  • FIG. 10 is a sectional plan view of a modified form of rotation preventive means.
  • a low temperature liquefied gas storage tank 2 installed in the hold 1 of a ship, has a large number of blocks 4 secured to the bottom plate 3 of the tank and engaging corresponding support blocks 6 secured to the floor plate of the hold in such a manner so that the tank is free to move horizontally.
  • the numeral 7 designates a heat insulator covering the tank 2 and the numeral 8 denotes a heat insulator covering the interior of the hold.
  • FIGS. 3 AND 4 Four cylinder assemblies 9a, 9b, 9c and 9d are disposed between the bottom plate 3 of the tank 2, supported in the manner described above, and the hold floor plate 5, each cylinder assembly 9a-9d including a pair of cylinder units 10 and 11. These pairs of cylinder units 10 and 11 are disposed at positions symmetrical with respect to the center 0 of the tank and on two horizontal straight reference lines XX and Y-Y orthogonally intersecting at said center 0.
  • the cylinder units 10 and 11 of each pair are opposed to each other with their piston rod members 12 and 13 longitudinally parallel to one of the lines XX or YY; with their cylinder members 14 and 15 fixed to the floor plate 5 by means of pedestals 16 and 17; and, with the opposed free ends 18 and 19 of their rod members bearing against the opposite lateral surfaces of a chock 20 fixed to the tank bottom plate 3.
  • the cylinder units l0 and in each pair have head end and rod end cylinder chambers 21a, 21b and 22a, 22b, respectively.
  • the head, or oppositely facing end chambers 21a and 22a are interconnected by a flow passageway having a throttle or orifice valve 23, and form a hydraulic circuit.
  • the rod end chambers 21b and 22b are interconnected by a flow passageway 26 having an orifice 24.
  • the flow passageways 25 and 26 may be constituted in whole by pipes of very small diameter.
  • each chock 20 slowly pushes each piston rod 12 of the cylinder units 10 which are more remote from the center 0. Therefore, the oil in the chamber 210 of the cylinder unit 10 is pressurized to flow through the passageway 25 and orifice 23 into the chamber 22a of the other cylinder unit 11 and push the piston rod 13 to cause its free end 19 to follow the chock 20. Flow of oil also takes place between the chambers 21b and 22b through the passageway 26 and orifice 24.
  • the tank bottom plate 3 contractively deforms toward the center 0, the direction of movement of each piston rod 12 and 13 will be opposite to what has been described above.
  • the tank 2 will not move substantially. Further, even if there is a movement of part of the oil, the position of the chock 20 and hence the tank 2 will not vary to the extent that there is any substantial effect, since such oil will be returned when the chamber 21a or 22a is switched over to a chamber being pressurized.
  • the flow passageways 26 may be omitted.
  • chocks 20 may be fixed to the floor plate 5, and the cylinder members 14 and 15 may be fixed to the tank bottom plate 3.
  • Such cylinder assemblies may be installed between the tank ceiling and the hold structure opposed thereto.
  • the number of cylinder assemblies may be increased as indicated by the phantom lines in FIG. 3.
  • the chocks 20 were fixedly secured to the piston rods 12 and 13, the movement of the whole tank 2 could be completely prevented by shearing stresses at the joints between the piston rods 12, 13 and chocks 20. In this case, however, it would be necessary to correspondingly increase the strength of the piston rods and also the joint strength. It would also be necessary to increase the number of cylinder assemblies.
  • the following embodiment is capable of completely preventing the movement of the whole tank without involving such drawbacks.
  • FIGS. 5 AND 6 Two cylinder assemblies 30a and 30b are used in this embodiment with each having two cylinder units 31 and 32 disposed on one of the reference lines XX and YY, respectively, and arranged symmetrically with respect to the center 0. Said units have cylinder members 33 and 34 fixed to a floor plate 5 through pedestals 35 and 36 and have piston rod members 37 and 38 secured to separate chocks 39 and 40.
  • each cylinder assembly 30a, 30b the opposed chambers 41a, 41b and 42a, 42b of the cylinder units 31 and 32 communicate with each other through flow passageways 43 and 44 in such a manner that one chamber of one cylinder unit and one chamber of the other cylinder unit, which are in inner-outer reversed positional relation with respect to the center 0, are paired.
  • the respective chocks 39 and 40 move the piston rods 37 and 38 secured thereto away from (at the time of expansion) or toward (at the time of contraction) the center 0. Therefore, in each cylinder assembly 30a, 30b, the outer chambers 41a and 42a or the inner chambers 41b and 42b of the opposed cylinder units 32 and 33 are pressurized while the other chambers are depressurized, but since such pressurized and depressurized chambers communicate with each other through the flow passageways 43 and 44, the movement of the chocks 39 and 40 with the expansive and contractive deformations of the tank bottomplate 3 takes place without any interference.
  • the chocks 39 and 40 tend to move in the same direction, which means that the two chambers 41a and 42b or 41b and 7 42a communicating with each other through the flow passageway 43 or 44 are pressurized, so that such movement of the two chocks is positively prevented by the oil pressures. That is, according to this embodi-' ment, the movement of the whole tank can be positively prevented while permitting the expansion and contraction of the tank 2 to take place smoothly with the center 0 as the origin. Therefore, even though the piston stems 37 and 38 are rigidly connected to the chocks 39 and 40, it is possible to avoid a situation in which serious bending stresses are produced in the piston stems 37 and 38.
  • FIG. 7 shows a modification of the cylinder assembly shown in FIG. 6.
  • Cylinder assemblies 50 are disposed on lines XX and YY, as shown in FIG. 5, the feature of this modification residing in the fact that rigid connections between the chocks and piston rods can be dispensed with.
  • the cylinder assembly 50 has two chocks 51 and 52 and two pairs of cylinder units 53 and 54 disposed on the line X-X (or Y-Y) symmetrically and oppositely with respect to the tank center 0, said pairs of cylinder units consisting of the cylinder units 55, 56 and 57, 58, respectively symmetrically disposed with one of the chocks 51 and 52 positioned between each pair.
  • the chocks 51 and 52 are fixed to the tank bottom plate 3 and the free ends of piston rods 59, 60 and 61, 62 engage the chocks 51 and 52.
  • Cylinder members 63, 64 and 65, 66 are secured to the floor plate through pedestals 67, 68 and 69, 70.
  • the chocks 51 and 52 tend to move in the same direction so that the two chambers 71a and 73a or 720 and 74a communicating with each other through the flow passageway 75 or 77, are pressurized. Therefore, such movement of the chocks 51 and 52 is strongly prevented by the oil pressures and hence no movement of the whole tank occurs.
  • the chocks and cylinder bodies may have their mounting reversed, the number of cylinder assemblies may be increased and/or the cylinder assemblies may be interposed between the tank ceiling and the hold structure adjacent thereto. Further, in the construction shown in FIG. 7, the hydraulic circuits which include the flowpassageways 76 and 78, for example, may be omitted.
  • FIGS. 8 AND 9 In practice it is desirable to position a chock between a pair of piston rods, without rigid connections therebetween as in the construction shown in FIGS. 4 and 7. Not only is the installation of tanks easy and efficient but also no excessive forces are produced acting on the junctions between the piston rods and chock. However, it is then impossible to prevent the tank 2 from turning around the center 0.
  • a plurality of rotationpreventive means 82 are disposed so as to prevent both clockwise and counter-clockwise turning around the center 0, each of said rotation-preventive means comprising a pair of members 80 and 81 which are relatively movable along a straight reference line a-a' extending through the tank center 0 and which bear against each other so that each prevents the turning of the other around the center 0, one member 81 being fixed to the tank bottom plate 3 and the other member 81 being fixed to the bottom plate 5 of the hold.
  • This arrangement permits the tank to expansively and contractively deform with the center 0 as the origin while positively preventing the tank from turning around said center 0. Therefore, it is preferable to incorporate this third embodiment when the constructions shown in FIGS. 4 and 7 are employed.
  • the rotation-preventive means described above may also be provided on the tank ceiling side.
  • a set of rotation-preventive means and 91 includes pairs of contacting members 92 and 93, the members 92 being fixed to the ends of the piston rods 96 and 97 of a set of cylinder units 94 and 95 mounted on the tank supporting structures.
  • the inner chambers 100 and 101 of the cylinders communicate with each other through a flow passageway 106 and the outer chambers 102 and 103 communicate with each other through a flow passageway 107.
  • the hydraulic circuit which includes the flow passageway 106 may be omitted.
  • this modification may be considered to be an adaptation of the means shown in FIG. 4 to prevent rotational shifting of the tank, but it is also possible to provide a construction in which one member 93 is positioned between the ends of the piston rods of the two cylinder units 94 and 95. Further in order to completely prevent rotation of the tank, the means shown in FIG. 7 may be adapted to prevent rotational shifting.
  • Apparatus for mounting a low temperature liquid storage tank for thermal expanding and contracting movements relative to structure supporting the tank and for restraining the tank from shifting movement relative to such supporting structure comprising:
  • pairs of cylinder units each unit having a cylinder member and a piston rod member:
  • each pair of cylinder units being connected by hydraulic circuit means so arranged that the thermal expanding and contracting movements of the tank are permitted by fluid flow in said circuit means but a shifting movement of the tank is opposed by hydraulic pressure in the cylinder members of at least one pair of cylinder units, the hydraulic circuit means including a pair of connections between each pair of cylinder units, each connection extending between that portion of the cylinder member of one of the cylinder units which is pressurized in response to a thermally induced movement of the tank and that portion of the cylinder member of the other cylinder units which is unpressurized in response to such movement of the tank, each of said pair of connections enabling the portions of the cylinder members connected thereby to be simultaneously pressurized in response to a shifting movement of the tank in one of the directions of said common reference line on which a pair of cylinder units are located.
  • Apparatus as set forth in claim 1 further comprising means restraining the tank from rotational shifting movement about the center axis thereof.
