AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the hoisting of the composite dome cover of LNG ships is affected by the welding of the corrugated plate in the composite dome area, which leads to an extension of the ship's construction period in the dock and makes it impossible to hoist it at the pier.
The installation method using insulating modules includes steps such as marking the positions of the insulating modules and adhesive application, laying protective film, applying adhesive, installing the insulating modules, adjusting for layer differences, installing glass wool and sealing plates at the stud positions, and installing screws and plywood clamps. This ensures no layer differences and tight contact, shortening the installation cycle.
This improved the installation quality of the insulation modules, shortened the installation cycle, avoided the impact of composite dome hoisting on the installation and welding of corrugated plates, and reduced the ship's construction time in the dock.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of LNG ship manufacturing, in particular to a LNG ship composite dome sub-insulation module installation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the rapid development of the world economy, the impact of the oil crisis and the increasing environmental problems caused by oil 、 The consumption of natural gas, one of the three pillars of the world's energy, has risen sharply, and it has been increasingly favored by countries as a clean energy source. Many countries have therefore listed it as the first choice of energy. LNG ships are one of the most difficult and technically demanding civilian ships to build in the world at present, and only a few countries can build them.
[0003] With the implementation of the International Maritime Organization's "Sulfur Limitation" in 2020, more and more shipowners consider using MARK3 fuel tanks when building new ships or modifying existing ships into dual-fuel power ships. MARK3 membrane tank has the advantages of short construction period, low evaporation rate, large cargo tank volume, and good anti-sloshing performance. Compared with NO96 series, the total thickness of MARK3 series insulation can be reduced by 50% under the same cargo tank evaporation rate, and the tank volume is greatly increased.
[0004] The hoisting of the pump tower and the composite dome is an important node in the construction of the MARK3 containment system, which directly affects the shipbuilding period in the dock. The installation of the composite dome can only be carried out after the welding of the composite dome area corrugated plate is completed, otherwise due to the small gap between the composite dome and the composite dome area corrugated plate, the installation and welding of the corrugated plate cannot be carried out. Due to the width of the ultra-large container ship reaching 60 meters, the pump tower and the composite dome can only be hoisted by the gantry crane in the dock, and cannot be hoisted in the dock, thus increasing the shipbuilding period in the dock, therefore it is necessary to study a composite dome sub-insulation module installation method to make the hoisting of the composite dome no longer affected by the welding of the composite dome area corrugated plate.

[0080] Lift the module to the installation position, install the module, apply a torsion force while checking the layer difference, and stop applying the torsion force when there is no layer difference;
[0081] Before installing the next module, apply glue to the side, first apply a round cake on the middle and lower layers, the distance between the round cakes is about 200mm, then use a spatula to scrape it open, apply glue to the entire surface, scrape off the squeezed glue after installation, record the glue application time, and the module installation end time should be within the working hours.
[0082] Install the stud position glass wool;
[0083] Install the small sealing plate at the stud position, and scrape glue around the sealing plate. Note that the glue should not be applied to the screw hole. After the small sealing plate is installed, install the nut and gasket, and then apply a torque of 30 N.m. Adjust the layer difference between the modules to be within 0.5 mm. Before installing the sealing plate between the modules, grind the surface of the module to ensure that the sealing plate tightly contacts the module.
[0084] After the module is installed, start screwing. Before screwing, apply PU45 glue to the screw.

[0086] Install glass wool at the position of the protruding module pipe, and then install the plywood hoop. The hoop should tightly contact the pipe, and the hoop should be coated with glue and nailed.
[0087] Grind the position of the sealing plate between the modules to ensure that there is no layer difference. Install the sealing plate, and the sealing plate between the modules should be fully coated with glue, except for the 30 mm range around the screw hole. Then, screw.
[0088] It should be noted that the module in the foregoing steps is an insulation module.
[0089] After the composite dome is hoisted, the boundary module is installed according to the following steps:
[0090] It should be noted that the module in the following steps is a boundary module.
[0091] Because the corrugated plate in the composite dome area has been welded, the protruding part of the corrugated plate causes the boundary module to be unable to be installed. Therefore, the module is cut into three layers in the height direction, and each layer has a height of 100 mm. When installed, the module is tilted and installed.
[0092] According to the distance between the measured plane module and the corrugated plate, it is determined whether the module needs to be cut on the side with the corrugation to ensure that the distance between the module and the corrugated plate is 15 ± 10 mm.
[0093] Draw the position of applying TBP glue on the bottom surface of the module
[0094] Lay 0.06 mm protective film. The edges of the protective film are fixed to the stainless steel with adhesive tape. Full adhesion is not required. Three sections of adhesion on each side are sufficient. The edges of the hole are fixed to the stainless steel pipe with adhesive tape (full adhesion). The two pieces of protective film are overlapped by about 70-100 mm. Then, the overlapping area is fixed with adhesive tape.
[0095] Apply glue to the bottom layer module. The diameter of the glue disc is 40 mm, and the height is 5-10 mm. Apply TBP glue to the middle layer and the upper layer module.
[0096] The bottom module is installed, and after the bottom module is installed in place, the middle layer and the upper layer insulation module are installed.
[0097] After the module is installed in place, the module is fixed by using a pressing plate and applying a torque.
[0098] After the glue hardens, a torque of 40 N.M. is applied.
[0099] Based on the above, the LNG ship composite dome sub-insulation module installation method has the following advantages:
[0100] The insulation module is not leveled by using a wooden wedge block below, glue is applied below the insulation module, and the module is leveled after the glue is extruded, thereby shortening the module installation period.
[0101] The space between the insulation module and the composite dome is filled with glue, and the load bearing of the insulation module is more optimal.
[0102] The composite dome hoisting is not affected by the installation and welding of the corrugated plate, and after the composite dome is hoisted, the ship can be docked, thereby shortening the ship dock construction period.
[0103] The boundary insulation module is divided into three layers in the height direction, the interference between the boundary module and the corrugated plate is eliminated, and the boundary insulation module installation is more convenient.
[0104] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
