Description

CONSTRUCTION PANEL FOR FORMING A WALL OF A CRYOGENIC CONTAINER
The present invention relates to a construction panel for forming a wall of a cryogenic container, such as a tank, comprising a first layer, a second layer and a space which is located between the first and second layer and which is provided with a thermally insulating structure. In addition, the invention relates to a cryogenic container, of which at least one wall is formed by at least one construction panel .
A tank can be constructed for cryogenic cooling applications by means of such construction panels.
Cryogenic cooling applications can be understood to mean the storage of cryogenic gases and the storing of foods, body tissue, stem cells, blood components and other organic tissues at very low temperature. According to another application, superconducting elements can be stored in the container. In cryogenic cooling use is made of cryogenic gases. The most commonly used cryogenic gases include argon, helium, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. The very low temperatures of these cryogenic gases impart a number of extra properties whereby they can be applied in industrial and other processes. In cryogenic cooling the temperature is below -60 ° .
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved construction panel with which a cryogenic tank can be formed in simple and relatively inexpensive manner, and which has a minimum of energy loss to the environment and can provide the tank with the desired strength and rigidity. According to the present invention the thermally insulating structure comprises for this purpose two honeycomb structures situated at a mutual distance, wherein a vacuum space is located between these honeycomb structures. The honeycomb structure provides the required strength and the vacuum space forms a heat barrier between the warm outside and the cold interior of the tank. The invention makes cooling possible between -40° and -200° . The first and/or second layer is preferably provided with guide channels for a cold medium. The relevant side of the tank or container wall can hereby be cooled in forced manner. Heat losses to the environment are further reduced here. The layer can be an extrusion profile provided with guide channels. The cold medium preferably comprises a cryogenic liquid. The cryogenic liquid preferably comprises liquid argon, helium, nitrogen, hydrogen or oxygen. The cryogenic liquid is preferably used to cool the side of the container. In determined applications the internal pressure of the tank will have or be able to reach a high value such that a support edge is additionally arranged along the periphery of the construction panel and between the honeycomb structures. This support edge is then able to withstand the internal pressure of the tank.
For a modular construction of the wall or walls of the tank, the construction panels preferably comprise connecting means for mutual connection thereof.
The layer, in particular when it is embodied as profile part, is preferably provided with connecting means for adjacent panels. Panels are hereby obtained which can engage on adjacent panels, whereby a modular structure of the wall of the cryogenic space becomes possible. Such profile parts are known from the European patent 0 879 996 and can be applied as cooling element/layer in the invention. The content of said patent is incorporated in this application by way of reference. In addition, the invention relates to a cryogenic container such as a tank, of which at least one wall is formed by at least one construction panel according to the invention. The layer directed toward the interior of the tank is preferably provided here with guide channels for a cryogenic liquid, such as liquid nitrogen, for the purpose of cryogenic cooling of the content of the tank.
The invention will be further elucidated with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings : Figure 1 shows a schematic cross-section of a construction panel according to an embodiment of the invention,
Figure 2 shows a schematic cross-section of a container with a modular construction according to an embodiment of the invention. Figure 1 shows schematically a cross-section of a construction panel for forming a wall of a cryogenic tank. A construction panel is provided with an outer layer 1, which is provided with guide channels for a cold medium. Arranged some distance herefrom is an inner layer 3, likewise provided with guide channels 4. A cryogenic liquid, such as liquid nitrogen, flows through these guide channels. Layers 1,3 are held a distance apart by an outer wall 5 which extends along the periphery of the panel and which is provided on the inner side with an inward protruding support edge 6. Between the support edge on the one side and each layer 1, 3 on the other there is provided a honeycomb structure 7. A vacuum space 8 is located between these honeycomb structures 7. Finally, it is noted that inner layer 3 lies adjacently of the interior of the tank for which the construction panel forms a (part of the) wall. The lower part of the drawing is therefore the tank side and the upper part of the drawing is the outside environment .
The construction panel can further be provided with connecting means (not shown) for mutually connecting diverse construction panels. A modular construction is hereby created for forming a wall of a cryogenic tank. In order to form a cryogenic tank, a framework consisting of plastic ribs can serve as a basis, wherein the construction panels for forming the walls of the tank are guided and/or held between the ribs. Guide channels 2, 4 of the diverse walls can further be mutually connected such that a circulating circuit for cold medium and/or cryogenic liquid is formed with a joint inlet and outlet per tank. In the case of a cube-shaped tank it suffices to form four of the six peripheral panels with construction panels according to the invention. The other two, mutually opposite walls can be designed in known manner.
Figure 2 shows a part of a cryogenic space with a modular construction, formed by connecting a number of construction panels according to the invention.
The cryogenic space 19 is enclosed by a modular structure of panel parts and other parts for constructing a surrounding wall. Construction panels 20 and 21 have a structure as according to the invention, construction panel 20 has an inner wall or wall 22 of the space. This is in this embodiment an extrusion profile. Profile 22 is provided with a number of channels 23,24 through which can flow a cryogenic medium, liquid or gas, depending on the desired cooling temperature. The channels are co-formed during extrusion of plate 22. Two honeycomb structures 25,26 are arranged around a space 27 in which a vacuum has been created. The honeycomb structure serves to strengthen wall parts 22 and 28. Panel 20 also comprises an outer wall 29 and a support edge 30 of substantially T-shaped cross-section. Two panels 20 and 21 are placed adjacently of each other. They are connected to each other. In the shown preferred embodiment, an extrusion profile arranged on the inner and outer layer is used to connect panel parts 20, 21. Profile part 31 is provided with a protrusion 32 on which arm 33 of layer 22 engages. The same is the case for the outer wall.
Construction panel 21 is formed as a corner part, wherein an outer wall 35 is used which is provided with two support edges 36,37 which protrude between respective honeycomb structures 38,39 and 40,41.
It will be apparent to the skilled person that different connecting means can be used to form a cryogenic space making use of construction panels according to the invention. The shown couplings are only intended as examples. In contrast to the shown embodiment of construction panel 21, use can be made of construction parts with non-right angles. Figure 2 also shows a door panel 22 which can be incorporated into the wall structure of cryogenic space 19. Two doors 42,43 are shown which can swing open. This part can also be connected to the construction parts in suitable manner by the skilled person. In the shown embodiments the distances between the respective parts are shown overdimensioned for the purpose of elucidation. Outer wall parts 29,35 are also overdimensioned. The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawing, but only by the content of the appended claims.
