Definitions
- the present invention relates to the structure of a double-shell tank including an outer tank and an inner tank.
- a double-shell tank has been known as a tank for storing a low-temperature liquid.
- a double-shell tank is generally formed between an inner tank that substantially contains a low-temperature liquid, an outer tank that covers the inner tank from the outside at a predetermined interval, and an inner tank and an outer tank. It is provided with a heat insulating layer.
- the heat insulating layer is formed of, for example, a granular heat insulating material filled between the inner tank and the outer tank, and pearlite is used as the granular heat insulating material.
- the granular heat insulating material is filled so as to fill the space between the inner tank and the outer tank with the inner tank empty. Therefore, when a low-temperature liquid is supplied to the inner tank and the inner tank heat shrinks, the distance between the inner tank and the outer tank widens, and the granular heat insulating material filled between the inner tank and the outer tank can settle. There is sex. When the granular heat insulating material is settled, a space where the granular heat insulating material does not exist is created at the top of the double-shell tank, and the thickness of the heat insulating layer at the top of the tank is reduced.
- the heat insulating property of the portion deteriorates. Due to the deterioration of heat insulation, the cold heat of the inner tank is transmitted to the outer tank, which may cause frost on the outer tank and cause corrosion of the outer tank. Further, if the amount of heat input to the inner tank increases due to the deterioration of the heat insulating property, the amount of boil-off gas of the low-temperature liquid increases, and the pressure in the inner tank may become excessive.
- an inner heat insulating layer made of an elastic material (glass wool) that can be expanded and contracted in the radial direction of the inner tank and an outer heat insulating layer made of a filler (pearlite) are used. It has a heat insulating layer consisting of two layers, inside and outside. In this double-shell tank, the gap generated in the heat insulating layer due to the heat shrinkage of the inner tank is filled with the expanded elastic material, and the sedimentation of the filler is suppressed.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to form a heat insulating layer between an inner tank and an outer tank by a granular heat insulating material, and to form granules due to shrinkage deformation of the inner tank. It is an object of the present invention to provide a double-shell tank capable of maintaining a heat insulating layer having an appropriate thickness at the top of the tank even after the heat insulating material has settled.
- the double shell tank according to one aspect of the present invention is A spherical shell-shaped inner tank with a storage unit that stores liquid in a sealed state,
- the outer tank that covers the inner tank and A granular heat insulating material that is filled in the space surrounded by the outer wall of the inner tank and the inner wall of the outer tank to form a heat insulating layer is provided.
- the size of the top gap between the inner tank and the outer tank when the inner tank is empty is the size of the bottom gap between the inner tank and the outer tank, and the size of the bottom gap between the inner tank and the outer tank is the same as the empty state of the inner tank and the inner tank. It is characterized in that the value is equal to or more than the value obtained by adding the level difference of the granular heat insulating material from the state in which the tank contains the liquid.
- the size of the top gap is larger than the size of the bottom gap, a heat insulating layer thicker than the bottom of the tank is formed on the top of the tank when the inner tank is empty. Then, when the low-temperature liquid is supplied to the inner tank and the inner tank contracts, the gap between the inner tank and the outer tank widens, and the granular heat insulating material filled between the inner tank and the outer tank sinks. Even when the granular heat insulating material is settled, a heat insulating layer having a sufficient thickness is maintained at the top of the tank.
- the heat insulating layer is formed between the inner tank and the outer tank by the granular heat insulating material, and the tank is set even after the granular heat insulating material has settled due to the shrinkage deformation of the inner tank. It can be compatible with maintaining a heat insulating layer of appropriate thickness on the top.
- the outer tank may have a spherical shell shape, and the center of the outer tank may be located above the center of the inner tank.
- both the outer tank and the inner tank have a spherical shell shape with excellent strength, but the gap between the tops of the inner tank and the outer tank is formed.
- the size can be made larger than the size of the bottom gap between the inner tank and the outer tank.
- the outer tank is composed of a lower hemisphere shell portion, an upper hemisphere shell portion, and a tubular body portion connecting the lower hemisphere shell portion and the upper hemisphere shell portion.
- the center of the tank and the center of the lower hemisphere shell portion may coincide with each other.
- a heat insulating layer of a certain thickness is formed around it.
- a heat insulating layer thicker than the heat insulating layer below the equator of the inner tank is formed around the equator.
- the outer tank has a shape similar to that of a spherical shell, and the outer tank can be provided with sufficient strength.
- the outer tank comprises a main body portion having a spherical shell shape and a dome portion provided at the top of the main body portion and filled with the granular heat insulating material, and serves as the center of the inner tank. It may be aligned with the center of the main body.
- the dome portion filled with the granular heat insulating material is provided at the top of the main body portion of the outer tank, the inner tank contracts and deforms and is filled between the inner tank and the main body portion of the outer tank. Even if the granular heat insulating material is settled, the settling amount is supplemented by the granular heat insulating material filled in the dome portion. Therefore, even when the granular heat insulating material is settled, a heat insulating layer having a sufficient thickness is maintained at the top of the tank.
- a heat insulating layer is formed between the inner tank and the outer tank by the granular heat insulating material, and an appropriate thickness is applied to the top of the tank even after the granular heat insulating material has settled due to the shrinkage deformation of the inner tank. It is possible to provide a double-shell tank that is compatible with retaining a heat insulating layer.
