The invention belongs to the technical field of
liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks, and particularly relates to a flow blocking element for a corrugated plate of an
LNG storage tank. The
LNG storage tank comprises an insulation box and the corrugated plate arranged on the outer layer of the insulation box; the corrugated plate is provided with strip-shaped
ridge parts facing the insulation box, a cavity is defined by the adjacent strip-shaped
ridge parts and the surface of the insulation box, the flow
choking element is arranged in the strip-shaped cavity defined by the adjacent strip-shaped
ridge parts and the surface of the insulation box, and the flow
choking element is provided with a nonlinear gas channel used for prolonging gas
convection and / or increasing gas flow resistance. By arranging the nonlinear gas channel, when gas flows in the cavity, the path is prolonged, the resistance is increased,
natural convection is effectively inhibited, the
cooling capacity loss is reduced, and the
evaporation rate (BOR) can be predicted to be reduced by 5%-10%. The
system is diversified in structural form, high in adaptability, high in installation reliability, good in compatibility with an existing
system and controllable in cost.
