Abstract:
A sealed, thermally insulated tank consists of tank walls fixed to the load-bearing structure of a ship, the tank walls having, in succession, in the direction of the thickness from the inside to the outside of the tank, a primary sealing barrier, a primary insulating barrier, a secondary sealing barrier and a secondary insulating barrier, at least one of the insulating barriers consisting essentially of juxtaposed non-conducting elements (3), each non-conducting element including a thermal insulation liner, at least one panel and load-bearing partitions rising through the thickness of the thermal insulation liner in order to take up the compression forces. These partitions include at least one anti-buckle partition (14) that includes a plurality of anti-buckle wall elements that have a respective orientation forming an angle relative to a general longitudinal direction of the anti-buckle partition, for example forming corrugations or double-wall portions.

Method of adhesively bonding second insulating blocks to a ship's inner hull using beads of mastic for the production of a sealed, thermally insulating tank for the transportation of liquefied gases, the tank having two successive sealing barriers alternated with two insulating barriers of first and second insulating blocks produced from plywood panels and containing or carrying thermally insulating materials, the second insulating blocks of the secondary insulating barrier being fastened directly against the inner hull, the method including applying beads of mastic to the lower face of the panels of the second insulating blocks along mutually parallel lines, positioning the second insulating blocks against the inner hull, and pressing thereof against the inner hull until polymerization of the mastic, wherein at least two of the beads on the lower face of at least one panel of the second insulating blocks are arranged along wavy parallel lines.
Abstract:
A device is disclosed for preventing the evaporation of a liquefied gas stored in an impervious and thermally insulating tank built into a bearing structure of a ship or located in a set of floating or land-side storage tanks. The device passes a fluid refrigerant through the mass of liquefied gas to cool the mass to a temperature slightly below its reference storage temperature. By so doing, the refrigerant compensates for the heating of the mass, due to thermal leaks within the insulating tank, during the transport or storage of the liquefied gas.
