AI Technical Summary
In the prior art, during the cooling process of liquefied gas storage tanks, heat is transferred to the external structure due to the thermosiphon effect, which damages the external structure. At the same time, the sealing membrane is subjected to excessive stress, which affects the thermal insulation effect.
A bridging element, including a bridging plate and an insulating strip, is provided between the insulating plates. The bridging plate spans the insulating plates and is fixed to their inner surface. The insulating strip is smaller than the space between the plates in the lateral direction, blocking the gas circulation channel and preventing the thermosiphon effect.
It effectively prevents gas circulation, reduces the stress on the sealing membrane, improves the thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulation barrier, and protects the external structure from the heat during the cooling process.
