Definitions

  • This invention relates to integrated tank containers for the bulk storage or transport of liquids at temperatures greatly differing from ambient temperature.
  • the invention is primarily intended for containers for cold liquids such as liquefied gas, e.g., natural gas, and petroleum gas, but it may also be applicable to containers for housing warm liquids.
  • An integrated tank container comprises essentially a housing of load-bearing thermal insulation supported within an outer rigid sheel and lined internally with a thin and flexible fluid-tight membrane (hereinafter referred to as a primary membrane) of sheet material, e.g., in the case of liquefied gas, a metal which is not subject to cold embrittlement, the primary membrane being supported against internal loads due to hydrostatic pressures and inertia forces by the surrounding thermal insulation.
  • the invention is particularly concerned with an integratedtank container. of the kind including a further or a secondary membrane similar to the primary membrane which surrounds the housing of load-bearing thermal insulation.
  • each layer i.e., the two membranes and the load-bearing thermal insulation, in turn starting from the outermost layer.
  • This practice is very timeconsuming and costly since it requires a high standard of accuracy inaligning and assembling the component parts of each layer at site.
  • These component parts may comprise, for example, sheets or panels for the membranes, and solid insulation panels, or boxes made of solid insulation material filled with loose granular insulation material, for the load-bearing thermal insulation.
  • those boxes providing the plane-faced portions contain fillings of load-bearing thermal insulation, the corner portions of the container being provided by curved boxes which contain fillings of thermal insulation material which is of a loose or resilient nature.
  • the side walls of the boxes may include edge portions of at least the faces providing the secondary membrane which extend beyond said side walls in which case, a set of connecting members is attached to the support framework for sealing together co-operating edge portions of these faces, a further set of connecting members is provided for sealing together the faces providing the primary membrane, and each space defined between the two sets of connecting members and the side walls of adjacent boxes contains a further filling of said insulation.
  • the further set of connecting members for the primary membrane may be carried on the inner faces of said further fillings of insulation.
  • Said sealing between the faces may be effected in accordance with a method described in co-pending U.S. Patent Application by Robert G. Jackson and Edward Armstrong for Methods of Welding Together Sheets to Form Walls, Tanks or the Like in which, for example, use is made of sets of connecting members of generally T-shaped cross-section.
  • connecting members of such cross-section With connecting members of such cross-section the further fillings of thermal insulation are preferably formed with slots which embrace the stems of the set of connecting members for the secondary membrane to locate said further fillings in position.
  • the prefabricated boxes may be evacuated and/or purged with an inert gas during their construction.
  • Thesupport framework may be attached to the outer rigid shell via brackets which provide for adjustment of the spacing of the frame members of said framework from the outer rigid shell. Such an arrangement facilitates the even alignment of the support faces of the frame members should any undulations be present in the outer rigid shell.
  • FIG. 1 is a section through part of the container
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a corner of the container.
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged'fragmentary perspective view of a detail of the container.
  • the container is of planefaced form and comprises a primary membrane 1 which lines a housing 2 of load-bearing thermal insulation, a secondary membrane 3 extending around the housing 2 and attached to an outer rigid shell 4 via hardwood frame members 5 which are arranged to provide a rectangular lattice framework.
  • the housing 2 except at its corners comprises balsa wood panels 6 and the primary and secondary members 1, 3 are of an iron-nickel alloy having a very low co-efficient of expansion; a suitable alloy is that sold under the Registered Trademark INVAR.
  • the primary and secondary membranes 1, 3 of the plane-faced portions of the container are provided by the two sets of faces 7, 8 respectively (see FIG. 2) of a multiplicity of shallow boxes 9 which are welded together, the balsa wood panels 6 of the housing 2 providing fillings for these boxes.
  • the faces 8 of the boxes 9 have peripheral edge portions which extend beyond the sides 10 of their boxes so that each box may be aligned over an opening of the lattice framework with its extended edge portions 1 1 overlapping the frame members 5.
  • the support faces'of the frame members have attached thereto connecting members 12 which are formed by folding strips of INVAR (Registered Trademark) and are of generally T-shaped cross-sectior'1.
  • each connecting member The arms 13 of each connecting member are extended a short distance around the sides of their frame member for attachment to the latter.
  • the stem 14 of each connecting member is enlarged at its free end as shown at 15 to provide a rail on which a welding machine (not shown) may be mounted for welding the edge portions 11 of its respectween the side walls of adjacent boxes is filled with a further panel 16 of balsa wood, this panel being provided with a slot 17 for clipping onto the rail of said connecting member.
  • the inner face of each further panel 16 has attached thereto a further connecting member 19, similar to the connecting member 12, the arms 20 of which, with the panel 16 in its located position, extend across the faces 7 of their respective pair of boxes 9. The arms 20 are then welded to their respective faces 7 by the method referred to hereinbefore with respect to the connecting member 12.
  • the rectangular lattice framework provides openings of regular size over most of the area of the plane-faced portions of the container and hence the boxes 9 for those openings are of a standard size.
  • the dimensions of the container may be chosen such that said planefaced portions are assembled complete from standard boses 9. However, it will be appreciated that where the dimensions are not so chosen further boxes of suitable dimensions, for example such as shown at 9a in FIG. 1, may be used in conjunction with the standard size boxes.
  • Each frame member 5 is supported at spaced positions in metal cradles 21, preferably of 9% nickel-steel,
  • each cradle 21, 23 is provided with a 'pair of thin webs 25, 26 respectively of 9% nickel-steel arranged to be welded together once the spacing of the frame members 5 from the outer rigid shell 4 is set.
  • the support arrangement therefor includes a metal cradle 27-which is of cruciform shape (see FIG. 3).
  • the corners of the container are provided by further prefabricated boxes 28 similar to the boxes 9.
  • the boxes 28 are curved, i.e., in the case ofa dihedral comer they are radiussed as shown in FIG. 2 and in the case of a trihedral corner they are part spherical.
  • these boxes contain a filling of loose or resilient non-load-bearing thermal insulation, e.g., a mineral wool, thus permitting the boxes to flex and deform depending upon the stresses and loads to which they are subjected in use.
  • connection between each frame member 5 and its connecting member 12 is strengthened, particularly adjacent the corners of the container by welding the edges of the horizontal 13 of the connecting member to the metal cradles 21.
  • the resilience of the walls IO may permit some movement of the boxes 9 to take place thus permitting the corner boxes 28 to deform.
  • Such movement of the boxes 9 may be increased by providing inserts within the boxes 9 of, for example, compressed wool between the edges of the fillings 6 and their respective sides 10 of said boxes.
  • a copper strip may be provided within the boxes 9, 28 adjacent to those parts of the faces 7 to which the connecting members 19 are to be welded, said copper strips thus providing a heat sink during the welding process.
  • secondary frame members 29 may be provided located between the frame members 5 to provide additional support for the boxes 9 and the support arrangement for the frame members 29 may be the same as that described for the frame members 5.
  • the frame members 29 would not carry connecting members 12.
  • the space 30 between the boxes 9, 28 and the outer rigid shell 4 may be filled with a loose thermal insulation material such as mineral wool, or granular material such as that sold under the Registered Trademark PER- LITE.
  • the space 30 may be provided with a load-bearing thermal insulation system, which may comprise, for example, a two-part insulation system similar to that described in my co-pending US. Pat. application Ser. No. 801,495, particularly with reference to FIG. 4.
  • the two-part insulation system may comprise a framework of solid insulation panels, e.g., balsa wood, defining areas containing rigid foamed plastics material, e.g., polyurethane.
  • the additional frame members 29 would not be required since the boxes 9 would be supported against the inner faces of the two-part insulation system.
  • the boxes 9 and 28' may each be of uniform size.
  • the boxes 9 and 28 may be purged of air with an inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide.
  • the air may be evacuatedin which case the insulation properties of the boxes may be improved.
  • these operations would be carried out through the side walls 10 of the boxes.
  • the primary membrane 1 is rigidly tied to the frame members 5 via the sides 10 of the boxes 9, 28. Although the sides 10 provide heat paths through the housing 2 of thermal insulation, the effect of these heat paths is minimized by the thinness of the membrane material.
  • each plane-faced portion of the container provided by the boxes 9 is independent of each of its adjacent wall portions due to said boxes being mounted directly on the framemembers 5, the corner boxes 28 may be of any desirable shape to fill the corner spaces between adjacent plane wall portions; additional support for the out of balance loads on the frame members 5 immediately adjacent the corners may be conveniently provided by suitable ties or the like between the outer rigid shell 4 and said frame members.
  • the fillings 6, 16 may be of any suitable load-bearing thermal insulation material, and preferably the material will have a relatively low co-efficient of expansion as is the case with balsa wood which varies beween approximately 2 to 8 X l0' unit/unit/F. depending upon the direction of the grain. However, it may be that materials having a significantly higher co-efficient of expansion could be used.
  • One such material is polyurethane foam which has a co-efficient of approzimately 50 X unit/unit/F.
  • said panels may be ofa honecomb construction, for example, as described in our British Pat. No.
  • a container comprising a housing of loadbearing thermal insulation supported within an outer rigid shell, said housing being built up of fluid-tight closed shallow boxes made of flexible sheet material and filled with load-bearing insulation material, said boxes being set in spaced edge to-edge alignment to form said housing,
  • said shallow boxes each having two generally parallel opposed main wall faces of large area, one being a front face and disposed toward the inside of the tank, the other being a back face, said wall faces being spaced from each other by relatively narrow continuous side wall members,
  • said extended portions of the back faces being attached to a support framework carried by the outer rigid shell, and to each other in liquid-tight fashion to provide a secondary membrane
