Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of constructing a low temperature liquefied gas tank for containing a low temperature liquefied gases such as natural gases or petroleum gases which are in gaseous state at room temperature and can be liquefied at low temperature under atmospheric pressure, and more particularly, a method of constructing a low temperature liquefied gas tank of a membrane type including an inner membranous vessel provided at the inside of an outer vessel via a compression resistant heat insulating layer.
  • a tank of thiskind 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, i.e., a vessel made of a thin plate and adapted to be readily deformed by an internal pressure and to come in closecontact with the surface of the heat insulating layer so as to transmit the internal pressure applied by the low temperature liquefied gases loaded in the inner vessel to the outer vessel by way of the heat insulating layer thereby to support the load finally by the outer vessel.
  • the low temperature liquefied gas tank of membrane type of the above-mentioned structure has been constructed in a manner that the outer vessel is first constructed and after the completion thereof, the heat insulating layer and the inner membranous vessel are constructed in the outer vessel by consuming many days of construction, and therefore, there has been a problem that the various works of construction must be arranged in series thereby making the period of construction elongated, and nevertheless, there occurs some interference of works, making the construction work complicated and difficult.
  • the inner membranous vessel in a low temperature loaded condition when the inner membranous vessel is loaded with low temperature liquefied gases, the inner membranous vessel would contract by a relatively large amount with respect to the supporting surface provided by the heat insulating layer, and as a result, the inner vessel is actually supported by the heat insulating layer in a condition expanded by the internal pressure applied by the low temperature liquefied gases as much as an amount corresponding to the contraction thereof in a low temperature operating condition.
  • the thin plate forming the inner membranous vessel is not only subject to a compression force applied in the direction of its thickness but also a tensile force acting along the surface thereof. Furthermore, since the inner vessel is subject to changes of operating conditions such as from a normal temperature unloaded condition to a low temperature loaded condition by way of a low temperature unloaded condition, or vice versa, and accordingly, makes complicated deformations under application of thermal stresses, it is not favorable to apply any restriction to the inner vessel which will prevent such deformations.
  • 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, comprising the steps of constructing an assembly including said inner membranous vessel and a carrying structure provided at a roof portion of said inner membranous vessel at a construction stage separately from said outer vessel adapted to present a hold space for receiving said assembly, and mounting said assembly into said hold space, characterized by constructing said carrying structure by a roof portion of said heat insulating layer and a roof portion of said outer vessel having a rigid structure, urging flat side wall portions of said inner membranous vessel, after said assembly has been positioned in said hold space, 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
  • the assembly composed of the inner membranous vessel and the carrying structure provided at the roof portion of said inner membranous vessel is constructed separately from the outer vessel on a construction stage preferably to also have a saddle-like frame, the inner vessel is approachable at opposite sides thereof in construction, and therefore, the welding of the thin plates forming the inner membranous vessel and the inspection of the welded portions are made very easy. Since in this case the assembly is inserted into the hold space defined by the outer vessel, the inside surface thereof being as yet covered with no heat insulating layer, the insertion of the tank into the hold space is very easily done.
  • the inner membranous vessel After the assembly has been positioned in the hold space, flat side wall portions of the inner membranous vessel are urged toward the inside of the vessel by proper expansion means acting in reaction to the inner wall of the outer vessel as much as an amount corresponding to the contraction of the inner membranous vessel in a low temperature operating condition, and by filling up the space thus formed, the inner vessel is adapted to have a peripheral length larger than that of the inner surface of the heat insulating layer.
  • the inner membranous vessel is provided with a marginal slack to compensate the contraction thereof in a low temperature operating condition.
  • the assembly is provided beforehand with the roof portion of the heat insulating layer as well as the roof portion of the outer vessel having a rigid structure, when the assembly has been mounted into the hold space of the separately constructed outer vessel, the top portion of the tank is substantially completed and no work for further construction of this portion is required, thereby largely shortening the over-all period of construction.
  • the tank assembly is so adapted that the carrying structure is lowered an amount after the bottom of the inner membranous vessel has just been placed upon a compression resistant heat insulating layer provided over the bottom of the outer vessel before the carrying structure reaches its final mounting position, said amount being predetermined to correspond to the contraction of the inner membranous vessel in a low temperature operating condition.
  • the flat side wall portions of the inner membranous vessel are also urged toward the inside of the tank, after the final mounting of the carrying structure, as much as an amount corresponding to the contraction of the inner membranous vessel in a low temperature operating condition, and by keeping this inwardly urged condition, the space left between the side wall portions of the inner membranous vessel and the outer vessel is filled with a compression resistant heat insulating material to form said heat insulating layer.
  • the inner vessel is relieved from being caused stress concentrations due to constraction in a low temperature loaded condition without being formed with complicated corrugations or convexed and concaved portions.
  • the inner vessel when the compression resistant heat insulating layer is formed at the outside of said inner membranous vessel, the inner vessel is packed with a positive pressure to resist the outside pressure exerted by the heat insulating material to form the heat insulating layer.
  • 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 foaming concrete including foamed sulfur or foamed glass as the reinforcing material may be used to be molded on the site.
  • FIG. 1 is the cross-sectional view of a part of a tanker ship incorporating a low temperature liquefied gas tank of a membrane type constructed by the method of this invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows the assembly in section for use in the tank shown in FIG. 1 in the process of construction.
  • the hull l of a tanker ship is constructed as a dual-walled hull including a side wall portion 2 and bottom portion 3 and cross and longitudinal bulkhead (not shown) defining a hold space 4.
  • FIG. 2 shows a tank assembly 5 adapted to be inserted into the hold space 4, while in FIG. 1, the tank assembly is shown as having been already mounted within the hull l.
  • a saddle frame 6 is laid upon a base panel B at a predetermined position, and then a protecting plate 7a made of plywood, etc., is extended over the flat surface of the base panel so as to be confined by the saddle frame to form a base of the assembly.
  • first inner vessel the inner surface of the heat insulating layer
  • second inner vessel an inside inner vessel 9 provided at the inside of said first inner vessel
  • both panel members including curved edge and comer portions of cylindrical and spherical shapes, respectively, and furthermore, along proper construction scaffolds S are arranged side wall portions 8b and 9b of the first and second inner vessels, respectively, to construct a double-layered inner membranous vessel.
  • the first and second inner vessels 8 and 9 are each formed of a thin plate of low temperature resisting characteristic such as nickel steel, stainless steel,aluminum, etc., and they are arranged regarding their thickness such that, when, for example, the second inner vessel 9 has a thickness of 3-8 mm, the first inner vessel 9 has a thickness of 1-2 mm. Though in this case the first inner vessel is made thinner than the second inner vessel, the relation of the thickness may be reversed.
  • the top portion includes a carrying structure 12 composed of a tank cover 10 having a rigid structure, a heat insulating layer 11 extended over the inner surface of the tank cover and a protecting plate 7c extended further over the heat insulating layer 11.
  • the carrying structure 12 is provided with a rigid dome 13 at a central portion thereof.
  • top panel members 8c and 9c of the first and second inner vessels 8 and 9 are extended over the inner surface of the protecting plate 7c.
  • said panel members being fluid-tightly mounted at a flange 14 provided at a lower end portion of the dome 13 and having curved edge and corner portions formed in cylindrical and spherical shapes, respectively.
  • the carrying structure 12 is further provided with a plurality of cantilevers 15 extending radially outwardly from a lowermost end portion of the dome 13 to hold the top panel members 80 and 9c from falling down.
  • the top portion of the assembly prepared in the above-mentioned structure is suspended by a crane and positioned above the side wall and bottom portions of the inner vessel separately prepared on the base panel B as mentioned before.
  • the assembly 5 By constructing the assembly 5 separately from the hull outside the hull, the welding and the inspection thereof in construction is made very easily, whereby the reliability of the tank is much more improved.
  • the saddle frame 6 is suspended from the tank cover 10 by proper suspension means 16 to protect the inner vessels 8 and 9 from collapsing.
  • the tank cover 10 having a rigid structure is firmly connected to a deck portion of the hull.
  • the tank assembly is so adapted that the inner vessels 8 and 9 are formed as oversized a little as compared with the height of the hold space so that when the tank assembly is fully inserted into the hold space, the inner vessels are somewhat compressed in the vertical direction to form a marginal slack to compensate the contraction of the inner vessels in a low temperature operating condition, said marginal slack being generally gathered at curved shoulder edge portions.
  • a protecting plate 7b is placed in the space to form a side wall heat insulating layer 20 so as to be in contact with the side wall portion 8b of the first inner vessel, and the protecting plate 7b together with the side wall portions 8b and 9b of the first and second inner vessels, respectively, is urged toward the inside of the tank as much as an amount corresponding to the contraction of the inner membranous vessels in a low temperature operating condition.
  • urging opera- .tion is done by arranging a number of expansion means 21 such as oil hydraulic jacks within the space to act against the flat wall portion of the inner hull 2.
  • the protecting plate 7b serves to uniforrnalize respective urging forces exerted by the expansion means, or otherwise, if the expansion means 21 are directly applied onto the wall portion 8b of the first inner vessel, local stress concentrations will be caused in the membranous vessels and they will be broken.
  • a heat insulating material is charged into the space to form the heat insulating layer 20 gradually from the bottom portion to the top portion thereof, while keeping the inwardly urged condition of the inner membranous vessels.
  • the protecting plate 7b serves also as a weir plate to prevent leaking out of the filling material onto the surface of the first inner vessel 8.
  • the protecting plate 7b serves of course as a protecting plate for protecting the first inner vessel from directly contacting with the heat insulating layer in a low temperature operating condition.
  • each jack 21 is removed every time when the level of the filling material has reached the jack, after the filling material has solidified.
  • the inner vessel may preferably be packed with a positive pressure P of about 0.3 kg/cm so as to prevent that the protecting plate and side wall portions of the first and second inner vessels are urged toward the inside of the tank beyond a position determined by the expansion means due to the filling-up pressure of the heat insulating material.
  • the suspension means 16 provided to connect the saddle frame 6 and the tank cover 10 in the process of suspending the tank assembly may preferably be removed at a proper time before the filling up of the heat insulating material is started.
  • heat insulating material to be favorably used for filling up the space to form the side wall portion of the heat insulating layer
  • foamed sulfer mixed with foam concrete as a binding agent.
  • Such material is further improved to be resisitve against shocks or collapsing by being mixed with reinforcing material such as glass wool, pearlite, etc. Since sulfer is easily foamed by being mixed with a foaming agent and heated up beyond the melting temperature, the heat insulating layer is formed by having sulfuric material foamed and solidified on the site.
  • the first and second inner vessels 8 and 9 In operation of the low temperature liquefied gas tank of a membrane type constructed according to the method described above, when the second inner vessel 7 is loaded with low temperature liquefied gases, the first and second inner vessels 8 and 9, as having contracted, just fit the space defined by the protecting plated 7b and therefore, the inner membranous vessels are supported in the most favorable condition in a low temperature loaded condition.
  • 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, comprising the steps of constructing an assembly including said inner membranous vessel and a carrying structure provided at a roof portion of said inner membranous vessel at a construction stage separately from said outer vessel adapted to present a hold space for receiving said assembly, and mounting said assembly into said hold space, characterized by constructing said carrying structure by a roof portion of said heat insulating layer and a roof portion of said outer vessel having a rigid structure, urging flat side wall portions of said inner membranous vessel, after said assembly has been positioned in said hold space, 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
