  • An ocean going vessel has been developed with a multiple of liquid fluid storage compartments, each having inner liners which are porous and have a permeability that may be achieved with'a single ply of glass fabric impregnated with a polyurethane or epoxy resin,
  • the porosity of the liner allows the pressure within the reinforced foam insulation to reach a state of equilibrium or near equilibrium with the liquid inside the vessel compartments as they are being filled, emptied or stored;
  • the cryogenic liquid is thus contained within a gaseous envelope within the insulative foam composite within the container or vessel compartment.
  • the gas-liquid interface occurs very near the liner and most often appears somewhat inside the insulation.
  • the insulation consists of a plurality of pre-fabricated 3D foam blocks or segments bonded together to form long and narrow segments with interlocking edges to provide for maximum flexibility in mating with the contours of the marine vessel, and to permit a significant area of liner-insulation composite to be applied with a minimum of time of installation inside the vessel.
  • a perforated electrically conducting film or strip may be bonded to the liner outer surface (the surface exposed to the liquid) to serve as a static electrical discharge element and to serve as a barrier against flame propagation.
  • these strips are mechanically held in position until a vacuum bag could be installed thereover/These strips are vacuum bonded to the walls of the vessel.
  • Damage to the insulation is readily detectable by visual examination and easily repaired with a splice. Debonding can be detected before reaching a serious stage by observing frost patterns on the vessel. Thus, the insulation materialmay be accomplished at low cost and is highly reliable in use.
  • These internally insulated tanks may be used for transporting or storage of liquified gas at cryogenic temperatures as low as 423F. (liquid hydrogen) and can be used for transporting or storage of fluids under high pressure or at atmospheric pressure.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view illustrating the insulation system installed within a ships hull
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the construction detail of one prefabricated segment or LOG" of insulation to be bonded to the tank wall;
  • FIG. 3 is an elevational view taken along line 3-3 in FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 are sectional views showing corner joints.
  • FIG. 7 is an elevational view showing hooks on ceiling or overhead tank wall insulation attachments.
  • FIG. 1 shows a marine vessel 10 for the transportation of liquified natural gas such as liquid methane and including thermally insulated cargo tanks 12 integrally supported inside the cargo holds and having the general configuration of the cargo holds.
  • the ship 10 is provided with an outer hull l4 and an inner hull l6 spaced from outer hull 14 by spacers 18.
  • the space 20 between the inner and outer hull may be used for storage or water ballast asdesired.
  • the inner hull I6 is integrally lined with heat insulation material comprising an inner insulation layer 22 covered with a porous liner 24; A second or outer insulation layer 26 with porous liner 28 is bonded to the first and a perforated conductive foil 30 completes'the insulative composite.
  • Retention fasteners 32 in the ceiling are used to retain the composite until the vacuum bonding has been accomplished upon installation.
  • Other retention fasteners 33 such as glass fiber or other non-metallic cord may be anchored to the walls 35 and floor 37 of the container hull 16. These fasteners extend through the insulation and liners to serve as high load attach points to support slosh baffles and other internal structures not shown.
  • the insulation layers 22, 26 and liners 24, 28 are shown in FIG. 2 as elongated strips or logs 34, 36. Typically, these logs will be about 90 feet long, about 2 feet wide and 6 inches thick.
  • Each log consists of a plurality of blocks of three-dimensional reinforced foam covered with a fiber glass cloth liner in a manner to be more fully explained hereinafter.
  • a strip of perforated aluminum foil 30 with pin holes approximately one-half inch on center is applied to the inner liner to reduce fire hazard, particularly when the logs are installed.
  • each of the layers 22, 26 are made from a plurality of blocks 38' which consist of foam 40 having X, Y and Z reinforcing fibers 42, 44 and 46.
  • These blocks may be of the type, and made by the method, set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,322,868 for Three-Dimensional Reinforced Structure by Kruse and Rossello which issued May 30, [967, the subject matter of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Of course, other materials and methods of fabrication may also be used as desired provided they serve the purpose intended.
  • a fiber glass liner 24 is bonded to the outer ends of the Z fibers 46. and the abutting ends of the blocks 38 are also bonded together to form the elongated strips or logs. These are then bonded to the inner surface of the inner hull 16 of the vessel. The edges of the liner 24 are then taped with splices 48. The second layer 26 with fiberglass liner 28 is vthen bonded to the first liner' 24, and splices 50"applied.
  • a polyurethane or epoxy resin may be used to impregnate and bond (while wet) the liner to the fiber ends.
  • the amount of resin used preferably is about 1.5 times the weight of the dry glass fabric. This usually is referred to as a 60 percent by weight resin content laminate. It has been found that resin in the amount of 2 /2 times the weight of the fabric causes cracking due to contraction at a -423F. temperature and,-in the amount of only one, the bond strength to the foam is marginal and a high reliability bond is not achieved
  • FIGS. 4, and 6 there are shown several comer connections.
  • four columns or posts 52, 54, 56 and 58 of foam wrapped in a fiber glass lining are placed in a corner at the intersection of container walls 60, 62.
  • Fiber glass splices 64 are applied to the inner corners of the inner and outer layers 66, 68 of insulation having liners 70, 72 on their inner faces.
  • a comer splice 74 then completes the porous seal.
  • FIG. 5 the corner formed by container walls 76, 78 has the end 80 of inner layer 82 abutting wall 78, with end 84 of inner layer 86 abutting end 80.
  • the fiber glass liner 88 is then wrapped around the corner over the inner ends of Z fibers 90 of both layers.
  • outer layer 92 is ap- 4 plied with its end 94 abutting end 84 of layer 86, and end 96 of layer 98 is then placed against end 94.
  • Fiber glass liner 100 and a perforated aluminum foil 102 is then applied.
  • the inner layers 104 and 106 have tapered abutting ends 108, 110 meeting at the corner of container walls 112, 114. Their respective fiber glass liners 116, 118 wrap around their ends and contact the container walls 112, 114.
  • the outer layers 120, 122 have tapered abutting ends 124, 126 with fiber glass liners 128, I30 extending around the ends for bonding to liners 116 and 118 respectively.
  • FIG. 7 there is shown a technique for attaching the insulation to the top of the container.
  • a scaffold support hook 134 In the upper corner 132 is a scaffold support hook 134.
  • the side insulation 136 is applied to side wall 138, leaving hook 134,
  • Insulation fastening devices 140 are attached to the underside of roof or top 142. Preferably, they may be shafts with barbs on the end since they are needed only to hold the adhesive-coated insulation strips 144 in position against the ceiling until a vacuum bag can be installed for the bonding process.
  • sections 146 and 148 of the insulation are shown as yet to be pushed onto fasteners 150. When installed, the hooks lock under the X and Y fibers within the foam. After the ceiling insulation has been applied, the scaffolding is removed and insulation wedge 154 is applied to the corner 132.
  • a vacuum bag isthen used to apply'pressure (about 20 inches of mercury or 10 p.s.i.) during the cure cycle of the adhesive.
  • the adhesive resin bonds at ambient temperature (77F.) for 24 hours or at F. for 3 hours. This sequence is repeated to bond all strips of insulation to the vessel.
  • the liner splices are then applied but no external pressure is needed in liner-to-liner bonding. This process allows the critical bonds of liner-to-reinforced foam to be made outside the cryogenic container and under best environmental conditions, using preferred quality control measures. Only the bond to the vessel and the less critical liner splices need be accomplished inside the vessel.
  • cryogenic fluid As the insulated vessel is filled with cryogenic fluid, a small'amount of fluid will permeate slowly through the porous liner where the warmer temperature promptly turns liquid to gas thus creating a reverse or offsetting pressure to prevent further liquid penetration.
  • This conversion of cryogenic liquid to gas taking place at, or just under,the liner surface occurs within the cell size of the foam or in such minute volume that the porosity within the liner provides ample escape paths which prevent the reverse gas pressure from exceeding the liner bond rupture strength.
  • the temperature gradient across the insulation thickness reaches a measure of stability and the gas pressure within the foam insulation will approach near equilibrium with the fluid pressure at the liner surface.
  • the foam insulation will eventually become permeated with the gas type being carried in liquid form, such as hydrogen gas when LH (liquid hydrogen) is being carried, or methane when LNG (liquid natural gas) is being carried.
  • the thermal conductivity of the insulation therefore, will be slightly less than that of the gas type being carried and thus the container is insulated from the liquid gas.
  • the reinforcing fibers within the foam are firmly bonded to the vessel wall and are also firmly bonded to the liner.
  • Both of these bonds must be sufficiently strong to withstand the momentary pressure differential fluctuations during filling the vessel with cryogenic fluid and when emptying the vessel. In addition, these bonds must withstand the loads transmitted to the insulation composite by racking and bending of the vessel in rough seas, along with the forces generated by the cryogenic fluid creating sloshing waves against the surface of the liner.
  • this invention constitutes a novel but realistic approach toward achieving the degree of reliability vital to the successful performance and required service life span of the vessel.
  • Damage to the insulation in the form of liner cracks is readily detected by visual examination of the liner surface and easily repaired with a splice. Debonds between liner and fiber-reinforced foam are also readily detected using proven methods with sonic brush examination, and are repaired by replacing the damaged area.
  • the high tolerance of the insulation system to sustain damage or personnel abuse and still function reliably as cryogenic insulation is noteworthy and small areas of surface damage need only be repaired to maintain the insulation required to achieve minimum boiloff rates of the liquified gas cargo.
  • a vessel for receiving liquified gas at cryogenic temperatures as low as 423F. said vessel having a supporting wall to which is bonded oriented fiberreinforced plastic foam to which a permeable liner is adhesively bonded to its outer surface, said liner being porous to the extent of allowing cryogenic temperature fluids in a liquid state within said vessel to permeate as a gas into said fiber-reinforced foam insulation resulting in a gaseous envelope and a gaseous-liquid interface within the insulation and a state of near equilibrium pressure across said liner, thereby containing said cryogenic fluids in a liquid state in spaced relationship to said supporting wall.
  • a vessel for receiving liquified gas at cryogenic temperatures as set forth in claim 1 wherein a second thickness of foam with a second permeable liner thereon is bonded in overlapping relationship to the first mentioned liner.
  • a vessel for receiving liquified gas at cryogenic temperatures as set forth in claim 6 wherein vertical corners are formed at the intersection of inner hull walls, said vertical corners comprising foam posts wrapped in a fiber glass lining, vertical edges of said foam bonded to said inner hull abutting said foam posts, and fiber glass splices applied over abuttin edges.
  • Avessel for receiving liquified gas at cryogenic I temperatures as set forth in claim 1 wherein said foam with liner bonded thereto is prefabricated in segments and is bonded together with overlapping liner strips bonded to splice adjacent liner edges together to prevent heat leakage paths between segments.
  • a vessel for receiving liquified gas at cryogenic temperatures as in claim 1 wherein said foam has X, Y and Z oriented reinforcing fibers therein, said Z fibers passing through the thickness of said foam with Z fiber ends on one side bonded to said vessel and Z fiber ends on the other of said foam being bonded to said liner.
