Definitions

  • the primary object of this invention is to provide a storage and transport assembly used for liquified gas, liquids and the like whereby large volumes of the material may be stored in pressure tanks.
  • FIG. 3 is an elevational view taken along line III-III of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 7 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view of a tanker incorporating a storage unit made in accordance with this invention.
  • FIG. 10 is a diagrammatical sectional view of a further embodiment of a storage unit on board a ship
  • FIG. 25 is a fragmentary end elevational view showing the construction of a chamber wall
  • the tubes 2 are connected along their ends thereof by vertical pipes or lines 4.
  • the pipes 4 are located on one side of the stack of tubes 2 and are open to vent into a common expansion vessel 5.
  • the expansion vessel 5 should be located sufficiently high above the stack of tubes 2 so that it is able to receive the gases which evolve from within the unit 1. This is particularly true when liquid gases are being stored.
  • the expansion vessel 5 is interconnected commonly and directly in parallel connection to each of all the containers 2 to receive expansion media from each of the containers 2.
  • a pump 8 and any necessary metering and monitoring devices are mounted in the vertical pipe 6.
  • a motor 9 located at the upper end of pipe 6 drives pump 8 which may be a Deepwell pump.
  • the vertically extending pipe 6 is arranged to be somewhat deeper than the lowermost edge of the lower tubular 2 to effectuate improved emptying of the storage unit I. All of the tubular containers 2 may be emptied uniformly and independently of each other by way of the pumping device.
  • the pump 8 constitutes means providing a single pumping station which is connected commonly and directly in parallel connection to each of all the containers 2 for discharging and filling the containers 2.
  • a storage unit 10 corresponds substantially to the design of the storage unit 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • an expansion vessel is located on the same end of the containers 2 as the vertical pipe 6 which includes the discharge pump 8.
  • This embodiment is usable where the ship construction does not permit the attachment of expansion line 4 and expansion vessel 5 on the side of the tube containers 2 opposite the vertical pipe 6.
  • Suction lines 7 extend horizontally into the vertical pump 6 and the vertical expansion lines 4 are interconnected to each container 2 by way of lines 11.
  • Storage units 10 are mounted in the ships hull so that the dynamic forces set up therein are transmitted directly into the ships hull. That is, the forces due to the weight of the units may be transmitted by way of a corresponding bearing construction from the storage units 10 to the ships hull l4. Longitudinal extending beams or planks 17 or the like may be appropriately engaged in the interstices formed between the tubular containers 2. The shape of the carrier beams or plank 17 is selected so that the uniform bearing surfaces are reliably maintained despite the varying shrinkage of the individual containers 2. The free spaces between the tubular containers may be filled by cooling coils or the like (not shown). A detail of the cross section of the beam I7 and the bottom two rows of containers 2 and a storage unit 10 is shown in FIG. 9.
  • ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION By dividing up the storage space available into a smaller, individual transport or storage chamber adapted to handle liquid or gas medium under predetermined operational conditions, many advantages are obtained particularly for the transportation of liquified gases, liquids, and the like on board ships. Thinner wall thicknesses may be used to construct the individual and independently operating containers. This results in lower weights and a higher degree of resiliency with respect to the assembly itself. Stressing conditions are to be taken into account separately for each individual smaller container and are therefore simply determined. It is possible to effect tests for fluid-tightness and strength in a simpler manner.
  • the assembly of the individual containers may be made either at the shipyard or directly in the ship itself.
  • d. means providing a single pumping station which is connected commonly and directly in parallel connection to each of all of the containers for discharging and filling each of the containers whereby the assembly is capable of handling a large capacity of liquified gases, liquids and the like,
  • said discharging and filling means including a vertically extending hollow body configuration constituting a chamber that extends transversely of the plurality of containers,
  • a storage assembly comprising:
  • g. means for discharging and filling each of the containers in said unit.
  • tension elements include anchoring stays and spacer sleeves.
