Embodiment Construction

[0051] A description is given below of several embodiments of a hermetically insulated tank comprising and secured to the double hull of a component of a FPSO or FSRU type carrier or a methane carrier. The overall structure of such tanks is known per se and has a polyhedral shape. Therefore, only a description is given of the wall area of ​​the tank, it being understood that all walls of the tank have a similar structure.

[0052] now refer to Figures 1 to 3 A general example for understanding the invention is given. figure 1 Denotes an area of ​​the double hull of a ship marked with 1. The tank wall comprises in sequence along its thickness a second insulating barrier 2 formed by a watertight box 3 juxtaposed on the double hull 1 and fastened thereto by means of second fixings 4 , then by the waterproofing The second airtight partition 5 carried by the box 3, then the main thermal insulation partition 6 formed by the juxtaposed waterproof box 7 fixed on the second airtigh...

Abstract

A sealed and thermally insulated tank comprising at least one tank wall fixed to the hull (1) of a floating structure, said tank wall having main sealing compartments ( 8), the main heat-insulating space (6), the second sealing space (5) and the second heat-insulating space (2), at least one of the heat-insulating space is substantially composed of juxtaposed non-conductive components, each non-conductive The part comprises a heat-insulating liner (63) and a load-bearing part protruding through the thickness of said heat-insulating liner to bear the pressure, characterized in that the load-bearing part of the non-thermally conducting part comprises a post (65) parallel to said tank The cross-section in the plane of the wall is smaller than the dimensions of the thermally non-conductive part.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to the manufacture of hermetically sealed and insulated tanks comprising tank walls secured to load-bearing members of a floating structure suitable for the manufacture, storage, loading, shipping and / or unloading of cooling liquids such as liquefied gases, Especially those liquefied gases with high methane content. The invention also relates to a methane carrier provided with such a tank. Background technique [0002] Sea transport of liquefied gases at relatively low temperatures involves preferably as small a daily voyage evaporation rate as possible, which means that the thermal insulation of the tanks concerned should be increased. [0003] There has been proposed a hermetically insulated tank comprising a tank wall fastened to a load-bearing member of a ship, said tank wall having primary hermetic compartments sequentially along the thickness direction from the inside of said tank to its outside , a main insulat...
