Abstract: A corner structure of a liquefied gas storage tank is provided, wherein the corner structure is installed at a corner of the storage tank for storing liquefied gas to support sealing walls. The corner structure includes: a stationary member secured to an inner surface of a hull structure wall; a movable member disposed on the stationary member such that the sealing walls are joined thereto; and an insulating member interposed between the sealing walls and the hull structure wall. The stationary member includes a stationary member body bent at a curved portion thereof in an opposite direction to the movable member, and the movable member includes a movable member body bent at a bent portion thereof in an opposite direction to the stationary member. The stationary member and the movable member are coupled to each other by a fastening member that penetrates the curved portion and the bent portion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a corner structure (100) of a liquefied gas storage tank, wherein the corner structure is installed at a corner of a storage tank for loading liquefied gas and supports sealing walls (51, 52) that prevent leakage of the liquefied gas. The corner structure (100) may include: two insulation members (110) arranged on the inner surface of a hull structure so as to be oriented in different directions; and mobile members (130) which are installed on the respective insulation members (110) and to which the sealing walls (51, 52) are joined. The mobile members (130) may be slidably coupled to the insulation members 110, and a plurality of the mobile members (130) may be arranged spaced apart from each other in a straight line on one of the insulation members.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and method which can control the generation rate of boil-off gas from liquefied hydrogen and can maintain the liquefied hydrogen storage tank at a low pressure. The method for controlling boil-off gas from liquefied hydrogen according to the present invention includes: at least two storage tanks storing liquefied hydrogen and each operated in a high-temperature mode or in a low-temperature mode, wherein the low-temperature mode includes: maintaining at least a portion of liquefied hydrogen stored in the storage tank at a first temperature being a densification temperature, and the high-temperature mode includes: maintaining at least a portion of liquefied hydrogen stored in the storage tank at a second temperature being a temperature exceeding a triple point of liquefied hydrogen through recovery of cold heat from liquefied hydrogen stored in the storage tank.

Abstract: Disclosed are a liquefied hydrogen storage tank which is applicable to a storage facility storing a large amount of hydrogen in a liquefied state or a vehicle transporting liquefied hydrogen and a liquefied hydrogen storage tank, and a method for controlling the temperature of the liquefied hydrogen storage tank which can control the generation rate of boil-off gas from liquefied hydrogen and can maintain the liquefied hydrogen storage tank at a low pressure. The liquefied hydrogen storage tank is a storage container storing liquefied hydrogen, has an inner space including a lower space in which liquefied hydrogen is stored and an upper space in which a gas is stored, and includes a heat inflow prevention unit disposed in the upper space or at an interface between the upper space and the lower space and preventing inflow of thermal energy into the lower space through the upper space.
