Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermal insulation for ship liquid cargo tanks, and particularly to a thermal insulation system for the buoyancy restraint support area of a liquid tank and an installation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Liquefied gas carriers and ships using liquefied gas as fuel need to be equipped with independent Type A and Type B liquid tanks or fuel tanks that comply with the IMO IGC Code. As the core load-bearing structure for low-temperature liquefied gases, they need to have both strict liquid tightness and thermal insulation performance. According to the code requirements, such liquid tanks need to be provided with a thermal insulation system to limit the intrusion of external heat, maintain the stability of the temperature and pressure inside the tank, and at the same time form a leakage prevention diversion channel to safely guide any potentially escaped low-temperature liquid cargo to the secondary screen wall to avoid damage to the hull structure due to exposure to low temperatures.

[0003] Currently, the thermal insulation systems for independent Type B liquid tanks (such as prismatic tanks, special-shaped tanks, etc.) mainly adopt the solutions of spraying thermal insulation layers on the surface or installing prefabricated thermal insulation panels. However, the structures of such liquid tanks are complex, especially in their buoyancy restraint support areas. As the key components connecting the liquid tank and the hull, they need to bear the functions of buoyancy restraint and lifting. Their geometric shapes are irregular and they are subject to dynamic loads, resulting in difficulty in effectively covering and long-term stability with traditional thermal insulation solutions. Due to the significant structural irregularities, mechanical vibrations, and temperature deformations in the buoyancy restraint support area, a single spraying or prefabricated thermal insulation panel solution is prone to problems such as joint cracking, thermal insulation layer peeling off, or heat bridge effects, leading to a decline in thermal insulation performance and the failure of leakage diversion, threatening the safe operation of the liquid tank.

[0004] In addition, the thermal insulation system for the buoyancy restraint support area needs to take into account both structural strength and low-temperature protection requirements. The existing technologies lack a systematic design for this area, resulting in insufficient adaptability between the thermal insulation layer and the support, and it is difficult to meet the strict requirements of the IMO code for leakage control and temperature management. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a thermal insulation system dedicated to the buoyancy restraint support area of independent Type B liquid tanks to solve the thermal insulation sealing under complex geometric structures and provide reliable technical support for the design and construction of ships equipped with new independent Type B liquid tanks.

Detailed implementation manners

[0051] The following illustrates the implementation manners of the present invention through specific specific examples. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific implementation manners. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 15 Note that the illustrations provided in this embodiment only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, only the components related to the present invention are shown in the illustrations, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape, and size of the components in the actual embodiment. The type, quantity, and ratio of each component in its actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the component layout type may also be more complex.

[0053] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the anti-floating support area 200 of the liquid tank 100 is arranged at the upper part of the liquid tank 100, referring to the anti-floating support structure itself and the planar area of the liquid tank 100 connected thereto. The anti-floating support area 200 includes a strengthening structure 210 arranged close to the outer surface of the liquid tank 100, a pressure block 220 facing away from the outer surface of the liquid tank 100 and connected to the strengthening structure 210, a pressure block fence 230 arranged around the pressure block 220 and close to the strengthening structure 210, and a lifting hole 240 arranged on a part of the strengthening structure 210.

[0054] This embodiment provides an adiabatic system for the bottom support area of a liquid tank. As Figures 3 to 5 shown, this adiabatic system includes a modular adiabatic board 300 and a baffle 400.

[0055] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the modular adiabatic board 300 is formed by splicing a plurality of prefabricated adiabatic boards and is arranged around the strengthening structure 210. The modular adiabatic board 300 includes a first surface and a second surface arranged oppositely. The first surface of the modular adiabatic board 300 is laid on the outer surface of the liquid tank 100 close to the anti-floating support area 200. A plurality of protruding structures 306 are arranged on the first surface. The protruding structures 306 can make a gap between the first surface and the outer surface of the liquid tank 100, forming a through annular space, so that the cryogenic liquid cargo leaked after the main screen wall fails is collected in a preset area along this channel. The protruding structures 306 can present different shapes. For example, as Figure 13 shown, the cross-section of the protruding structure 306 can be square, rectangular, circular, and triangular, and it protrudes from the first surface of the modular adiabatic board 300 close to the outer surface of the liquid tank 100. The second surface of the modular adiabatic board 300 is arranged away from the outer surface of the liquid tank 100.

[0056] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, the baffle 400 is arranged on the second surface of the modular adiabatic board 300 and is arranged around the strengthening structure 210, the pressure block fence 230, and a part of the pressure block 220. A space is formed between the baffle 400, the strengthening structure 210, the pressure block fence 230, and a part of the pressure block 220, and a polyurethane foam 500 is filled in the space.

[0057] Since the polyurethane foam 500 is difficult to mold or has an irregular shape after molding, additional processing is required, including cutting, grinding, surface protection, etc. In this embodiment, by arranging the baffle 400, the polyurethane foam 500 can be directly molded in the baffle 400, which can save the process time of cutting and surface protection and improve the design and installation efficiency.

[0058] The thermal insulation system for the liquid tank anti-floating support area provided in this embodiment. The modular thermal insulation board 300 provides a stable thermal insulation framework, and the polyurethane foam 500 fills the gaps of complex structures, simplifies the structure of the thermal insulation system, improves the design and installation efficiency, reduces the cost of the thermal insulation system, and improves the sealing performance and thermal insulation capacity of the anti-floating support area thermal insulation system. The integration degree of this thermal insulation system is high, and it can provide good thermal insulation function in low-temperature environment.

[0059] As an implementation manner, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, an inspection hole 410 is provided on the baffle 400. The inspection hole 410 is provided to facilitate spraying the polyurethane foam 500 into the space. After the polyurethane foam 500 is cured, its outer surface is polished to be flat, and the outer surface of the polyurethane foam 500 is flush with the outer surface of the baffle 400. The shape of the inspection hole 410 can be, for example, circular, square, oval, rectangular and other shapes.

[0060] As an implementation manner, as Figure 5 shown, the height difference H between the connection part of the baffle 400 and the pressure block 220 and the surface of the pressure block 220 facing away from the strengthening structure 210 is between 5 mm and 100 mm. Optionally, the height difference H can be, for example, any one of the values of 5 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm, or a value selected between any two of the above values.

[0061] As an implementation manner, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the modular thermal insulation board 300 includes a first prefabricated thermal insulation board 301, a second prefabricated thermal insulation board 302, a third prefabricated thermal insulation board 303, a fourth prefabricated thermal insulation board 304 and a fifth prefabricated thermal insulation board 305. The third prefabricated thermal insulation board 303, the second prefabricated thermal insulation board 302, the first prefabricated thermal insulation board 301, the first prefabricated thermal insulation board 301, the second prefabricated thermal insulation board 302 and the fourth prefabricated thermal insulation board 304 are sequentially arranged around the strengthening structure 210 in the clockwise direction; a fifth prefabricated thermal insulation board 305 is arranged between the third prefabricated thermal insulation board 303 and the fourth prefabricated thermal insulation board 304, and the fifth prefabricated thermal insulation board 305 is arranged in the plane area of the outer surface of the liquid tank 100 close to the strengthening structure 210.

[0062] As Figures 5 to 10 shown, the first prefabricated thermal insulation board 301, the second prefabricated thermal insulation board 302, the third prefabricated thermal insulation board 303, the fourth prefabricated thermal insulation board 304, and the fifth prefabricated thermal insulation board 305 all include an inner thermal insulation layer 310, a strengthening layer 320 and an outer thermal insulation layer 330 which are sequentially stacked. The surface of the inner thermal insulation layer 310 close to the liquid tank 100 is the first surface, and the surface of the outer thermal insulation layer 330 facing away from the strengthening layer 320 is the second surface.

[0063] As an implementation manner, as Figures 5 to 10 shown, the surface of the inner thermal insulation layer 310 adjacent to the strengthening layer 320 is larger in area than the surface of the strengthening layer 320 adjacent to the inner thermal insulation layer 310. The surface of the strengthening layer 320 adjacent to the outer thermal insulation layer 330 is the same as the surface of the outer thermal insulation layer 330 adjacent to the strengthening layer 320. The area of the first surface is larger than the area of the second surface. Thus, the sides of the first prefabricated thermal insulation board 301, the second prefabricated thermal insulation board 302, the third prefabricated thermal insulation board 303, the fourth prefabricated thermal insulation board 304, and the fifth prefabricated thermal insulation board 305 can form a stepped structure, facilitating the subsequent connection between the fixing component 600 and the interior of the modular thermal insulation board 300.

[0064] A stepped structure 331 is provided on the surface of the outer thermal insulation layer 330 facing away from the strengthening layer 320.

[0065] As Figure 11 shown, elastic thermal insulation layers 340 are provided at the gaps between adjacent inner thermal insulation layers 310 and at the gaps between adjacent outer thermal insulation layers 330.

[0066] As an implementation manner, as Figures 6 to 9 shown, thermal insulation patches 350 are provided at the edges of the second surfaces of the first prefabricated thermal insulation board 301, the second prefabricated thermal insulation board 302, the third prefabricated thermal insulation board 303, and the fourth prefabricated thermal insulation board 304 that are in contact with the strengthening structure 210. The thermal insulation patches 350 can have different shapes, for example, the shapes as Figure 14 shown are all acceptable, and can be specifically designed according to actual process requirements.

[0067] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, connecting plates 360 are provided at the gaps between the third prefabricated thermal insulation board 303 and the fifth prefabricated thermal insulation board 305 and at the gaps between the fourth prefabricated thermal insulation board 304 and the fifth prefabricated thermal insulation board 305. The connecting plates 360 are provided with structures adapted to the stepped structure 331 to improve the sealing performance and connection strength of the gaps between the third prefabricated thermal insulation board 303 and the fifth prefabricated thermal insulation board 305, and to improve the sealing performance and connection strength of the gaps between the fourth prefabricated thermal insulation board 304 and the fifth prefabricated thermal insulation board 305.

[0068] As an implementation manner, as Figure 11As shown, a fixing assembly 600 is provided at the gap between the inner insulation layer 310 corresponding to the position of the connecting plate 360 and between the inner insulation layer 310 and the strengthening structure 210 corresponding to the position of the insulation patch 350. By using the customized fixing assembly 600, the prefabricated insulation board in the special-shaped area of the anti-floating bearing can be stably installed, overcoming the difficulties in processing and assembly caused by the complex structure in the traditional solution, and ensuring the uniform coverage and long-term structural stability of the modular insulation board 300.

[0069] The fixing assembly 600 includes a fixing part 610, a connecting column 620, a fixing stud and a clamping bolt 630. Both ends of the connecting column 620 are provided with internal threads. One end of the fixing part 610 is connected to the connecting column 620 through the clamping bolt 630. The other end of the connecting column 620 is threadedly connected to one end of the fixing stud, and the other end of the fixing stud is connected to the fixing stud positioning part on the outer surface of the liquid tank 100. Through the fixing assembly 600, the fixing of the modular insulation board 300 with a complex structure is realized, reducing the processing and installation difficulty of the insulation system and improving the quality and reliability of the insulation system.

[0070] As Figure 12 shown, the fixing part 610 includes a reinforcing rib 611, a flanging 612, a cavity part and a connecting part. The cavity part is provided with a hollow cavity, and an insulation plug 614 is arranged in the cavity. Two flangings 612 are oppositely arranged on both sides of one end of the cavity part. The reinforcing rib 611 is arranged on the surface of the flanging 612 facing away from the cavity part. At least one flanging 612 abuts against the surface of the inner insulation layer 310 close to the strengthening layer 320 (that is, the flanging 612 can be arranged on the stepped structure on the side surface of the adjacent prefabricated insulation board); the connecting part is arranged at the other end of the cavity part, and the connecting part is fixedly connected to the connecting column 620 through the progressive bolt 630. As a specific implementation manner, the combined structure of the cavity part and the connecting part of the fixing part 610 is U-shaped, and two flangings 612 are arranged on both sides of the U-shaped opening and are perpendicular to the opening. The reinforcing rib 611 extends from one flanging 612 through the inside of the cavity part to cover the other flanging 612. The reinforcing rib 611 can prevent the fixing part 610 from shrinking and deforming inward, play a strengthening role on the fixing part 610, and limit the deformation of the fixing part 610.

[0071] As an implementation manner, as Figure 12 shown, a folding angle 613 is arranged on the flanging 612.

[0072] As an implementation manner, as Figure 7 shown, a notch 370 corresponding to the strengthening structure 210 is arranged on the second prefabricated insulation board 302.

[0073] As an implementation manner, as Figure 4As shown, a protective layer 700 is provided on both the second surface of the modular heat-insulating plate 300 and the outer surface of the baffle 400. The protective layer 700 can enhance the tolerance of the heat-insulating system of the liquid tank 100 to the external environment, such as protection, waterproofness, and anti-activity.

[0074] As an implementation, as Figure 15 shown, the shape of the liquid tank 100 can be a rhombic tank, a special-shaped tank, a spherical tank, a square tank, etc. The material of the liquid tank 100 can be selected from one of low-temperature metal materials such as nickel steel, high manganese steel, and aluminum alloy. The material of the anti-floating support is consistent with that of the liquid tank 100. The pressure block 220 is composed of one or more laminated woods and composite materials.

[0075] As an implementation, the inner heat-insulating layer 310, the outer heat-insulating layer 330, the heat-insulating patch 350, the heat-insulating plug 614, and the protruding structure 306 can all be composed of one or more heat-insulating materials and reinforcing materials. The heat-insulating materials include but are not limited to polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, polyethylene foam, phenolic foam, polyimide foam, and aerogel. The reinforcing materials include but are not limited to glass fiber and hollow glass microspheres. The heat-insulating materials mentioned below can all be composed of the materials listed above, and will not be elaborated further.
