  • ABSTRACT A method of constructing a low temperature liquefied gas tank of a membrane type comprising an inner membranous vessel provided at the inside of a rigid outer vessel with interposition of a heat insulating layer, characterized by the steps of constructing said inner membranous vessel in said outer vessel, urging flat side wall portions of said inner membranous vessel, after the completion thereof, toward the inside of said inner membranous vessel as much as to form a marginal slack corresponding to the contraction of said inner membranous vessel in a low temperature operating condition, and filling up the space left between said outer vessel and said inner membranous vessel with a compression resistant heat insulating material while keeping said inwardly urged condition of said inner membranous vessel, whereby said inner membranous vessel is constructed so as to favorably fit the space defined by the inner surface of said heat insulating layer when it has contracted in a low temperature operating condition.
  • a tank of this kind is generally composed of an outer vessel of a rigid structure, a heat insulating layer provided at the inside of said outer vessel and an inner membranous vessel provided further at the inside of said heat insulating layer,
  • the low temperature liquefied gas tank of a membrane type of the abovementioned structure has been constructed in a manner that the outer vessel is first constructed and then the heat insulating layer is constructed at the inside of the outer vessel by employing various kinds of heat insulating materials having compression resisting characteristic or by forming the heat insulating layer as a composite layer composed of heat insulating materials and reinforcing members so as to obtain as a whole a compression resisting heat insulating layer, and finally a thin plate of a low temperature resisting material such as nickel steel, stainless steel or aluminum is extended over the inside surface of the heat insulating layer to form a fluid-tight membranous vessel.
  • a low temperature resisting material such as nickel steel, stainless steel or aluminum
  • the tank can be constructed to have an inner membranous vessel closely fitting over the inside surface of the heat insulating layer, or in other words, the inner membranous vessel can be ideally so formed that the thin plate forming the inner membranous vessel is subject only to a compression force acting in the direction of its thickness under application of hydraulic pressure exerted from the inside of the inner membranous vessel.
  • the inner membranous vessel will contract with re spect to the supporting surface provided by the heat insulating layer due to the low temperature caused by the low temperature liquefied gases loaded therein, while it is expanded by the internal pressure exerted by the low temperature liquefied gases loaded therein so much as to compensate the contraction due to low temperature, and therefore, the inner membranous vessel is actually supported by the heat insulating layer under application of a compression force acting in the direction of the thicknessof the thin plate forming the inner vessel as well as a tensile force acting along the surface of the thin plate forming the inner vessel.
  • the inner vessel of the low temperature liquefied gas tank of a membrane type is subject to changes of conditions from a normal temperature unloaded condition to a low temperature loaded condition by way of a low temperature unloaded condition according to loading or unloading of low temperature liquefied gases, or vice versa, and according to such changes of conditions, the inner vessel undergoes complicated deformations under the action of thermal stress. Therefore, it is not favorable to apply any restriction to the inner vessel which will prevent the deformations of the inner vessel since such a restriction will cause a stress concentration of the inner vessel.
  • the wall of the inner vessel in a shape of some complicated corrugation or as being formed with convexes and concaves in a normal temperature unloaded condition so that in a low temperature loaded condition the corrugated or convexed and concaved wall portions of the inner vessel contract to prevent smooth membranous wall portions which come in close contact with the inside surface of the heat insulating layer to be uniformly supported thereon.
  • it requires a difficult work to form the inner vessel to have corrugated wall portions or convexed and concaved wall portions of a complicated structure, and therefore, there is a drawback that the overall construction cost of the tank becomes high.
  • a method of constructing a low temperature liquefied gas tank of a membrane type comprising an outer vessel of a rigid structure, a heat insulating layer provided at the inside of said outer vessel, and an inner membranous vessel provided further at the inside of said heat insulating layer, characterized by the steps of constructing said inner membranous vessel in said outer vessel, urging fiat side wall portions of said inner membranous vessel, after the completion thereof, toward the inside of said inner membranous vessel as much as to form a marginal slack corresponding to the contraction of said inner membranous vessel in a low temperature operating condition, and filling up the space left between said outer vessel and said inner membranous vessel with a heat insulating material of compression resisting characteristic while keeping said inwardly urged condition of said inner membranous vessel.
  • the method of this invention it is accomplished to make the peripheral length of the inner membranous vessel larger than that of the inner surface of the heat insulating layer by the very simple method of urging flat side wall portions of the inner membranous vessel toward the inside of the vessel and filling up the space left between the outer vessel and the inner membranous vessel with a heat insulating material while keeping the inwardly urged condition of the inner membranous vessel. Since in this case the inner membranous vessel is constructed prior to the formation of the heat insulating layer, the inner vessel can be approached at both sides thereof in the process of construction, whereby it is very easy to do welding for construction of the inner vessel as well as the inspection of the welded portions, and the quality of welding as well as the accuracy of inspection are also improved.
  • the inner vessel is made of two membranous vessels piled one over the other, or more correctly, one enclosing the other, the outer one (hereinunder called as the first inner vessel) being in direct contact with the heat insulating layer, the inner one (hereinunder called as the second inner vessel) being adapted to contain low temperature liquefied gases therein, wherein said first inner vessel is also serving as a secondary barrier wall against leakage of the second or inside inner vessel.
  • the secondary barrier wall is provided at or adjacent the inner surface of the heat insulating layer to prevent invasion of the liquid leaked out of the inner vessel into the heat insulating layer, and has a relatively complicated structure.
  • the roof portion of the inner vessel is also urged downward to form a marginal slack for allowing contraction in a low temperature operating condition.
  • the inner vessel is formed as oversized regarding its height by an amount corresponding to the inwardly urging of the roof portion and the inwardly urging isautomatically accomplished by mounting a pre-constructed roof portion of the tank including roof portion of the outer vessel and a roof portion of the heat insulating layer to its normal mounting position.
  • the flat side wall portions of the inner membranous vessel are also urged toward the inside of the vessel just as described before, and the space left between the outer vessel and the inner membranous vessel is filled with a heat insulating material of compression resisting characteristic while keeping the inwardly urged condition of the inner vessel.
  • the heat insulating materials to be used to form the heat insulating layer may be selected out of various kinds of materials according to the portions where the heat insulating layer is to be formed.
  • a material such as pearlite concrete, etc., which has compression resisting characteristic and can be constructed on the site by molding or plastering, may conveniently be used.
  • a material which can most favorably be employed for the method of this invention is sulfur or a sulfuric heat insulating material. Since sulfur becomes fluidal by being heated up to a relatively low temperature, it can be readily formed into a wall or layer on the site by molding or plastering.
  • sulfur is superior in heat insulating and compression resisting characteristics, can withstand low temperature, is unhygroscopic, and anti-corrosive since it is hardly oxidized below normal temperature, and does not creep. Thus, as a whole, sulfur has a very low aging factor and can serve stably over a long period of operation.

  • the first inner vessel 4 is made of a thinner plate than the second inner vessel 5
