Definitions

  • the present invention regards a cryogenic tank for use in vessels according to the preamble.
  • Cryogenic tanks are also subjected to significant deflections based on large temperature variations. This must be possible to handle without introducing too high tensions in the tank. It is also important to exploit available volume on board a vessel in the best possible way and to have an appropriate tank partitioning with regards to redundancy and maintenance and therefore the tank must be designed with this in mind. In some cases it is also important that the area above the tank can be exploited, that is, the tank should be possible to build in under for instance a deck with equipment.
  • cryogenic tanks with different design and support including some that satisfy some of the conditions as described above. From the existing art we will mention the patent texts of US 347 622, for a somewhat different area, and US 6 082 676 for a launch or space vehicle, where a skirt is used as foundation for the tank.
  • the tank support according to the present invention however complies with all the conditions described above. This is achieved according to the definition of the tank as described in the features of the claims.
  • the support is achieved giving rise to small dynamic loads in the tank.
  • an efficient way of receiving deflections in the foundation and deflections from temperature variations are achieved.
  • an excellent exploitation of available volume with appropriate tank partitioning is achieved.
  • the embodiment also gives the opportunity for placing equipment on a deck above the tank.
  • the tank according to the invention comprises a vertically positioned tank with a middle cylindrical part 1.
  • the tank has a top plate of which the outer part 4 is horizontal, while the middle part 5 is preferably of a conical shape.
  • the radial inner part of the top plate's horizontal outer part 4 receives a vertically positioned upper cylindrical skirt 7, said second end of the skirt is attached to an upper foundation 8 or deck.
  • the upper cylindrical skirt 7 has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the cylindrical part 1.
  • the tank further comprises a spherical bottom 2 which is connected with the cylindrical part 1 and which is connected to a cylindrical skirt 3 in the transition 6 between the cylindrical part 1 of the tank and the spherical bottom 2.
  • the cylindrical skirt 3 supports the tank against a bottom foundation 9 or deck.
  • the cryogenic tank according to the invention combines efficient loading reception from the content of the tank with efficient exploitation of available volume in places where the volume is to comprise a plurality of tanks.
  • the skirt 3 can suitably be embodied in stainless material for reducing the heat conduction between the tank and the foundation 9 that the skirt 3 rests upon.
