Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ship liquid cargo tank insulation, and particularly relates to an insulation system for a liquid tank anti-floating support area and a mounting method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Liquefied gas carrier and ship using liquefied gas fuel need to be equipped with independent type A and type B liquid tanks or fuel tanks in accordance with the IMO IGC Code specification. As the core bearing structure of low-temperature liquefied gas, the liquid tank needs to have strict liquid tightness and thermal insulation performance. According to the specification requirements, the liquid tank needs to be provided with an insulation system to limit the invasion of external heat flow, maintain the stability of the tank temperature and pressure, and form a leakage prevention and flow guiding channel to safely guide the possible escaped low-temperature liquid cargo to the secondary barrier wall to avoid damage to the ship structure due to low-temperature exposure.
[0003] At present, the insulation system of independent type B liquid tank (such as prismatic tank, special-shaped tank, etc.) mainly adopts the scheme of surface spraying of an insulation layer or installation of a prefabricated insulation plate. However, the liquid tank structure is complex, especially the anti-floating support area, which is a key component connecting the liquid tank and the ship body, needs to bear the functions of anti-floating and lifting, and its geometric shape is irregular and bears dynamic load, which makes it difficult for the traditional insulation scheme to achieve effective coverage and long-term stability. Due to the significant structural irregularity, mechanical vibration and temperature deformation problems of the anti-floating support area, the single spraying or prefabricated insulation plate scheme is prone to joint cracking, insulation layer falling off or thermal bridge effect, resulting in a decrease in insulation performance and leakage flow guiding failure, which threatens the safe operation of the liquid tank.
[0004] In addition, the insulation system of the anti-floating support area needs to consider the requirements of structural strength and low-temperature protection, and the existing technology lacks systematic design for this area, which leads to insufficient adaptability of the insulation layer to the support, and it is difficult to meet the strict requirements of the IMO specification on leakage control and temperature management. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an insulation system specially used for the anti-floating support area of the independent type B liquid tank to solve the insulation sealing problem under the complex geometric structure and provide reliable technical support for the design and construction of ships carrying new type independent B liquid tanks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0051] The present application is described in greater detail by the following specific examples. Other advantages and effects of the present application can be easily understood by those skilled in the art from this disclosure. The present application can also be implemented or applied in other different specific embodiments, and various modifications or changes can be made to the details in this specification without departing from the spirit of the present application.
[0052] Reference is made to Figures 1 to 15 It should be noted that the drawings provided in this embodiment only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present application, and thus the drawings only show the components related to the present application, rather than the number, shape and size of the components in actual embodiments. The actual implementation of each component may, of course, be changed arbitrarily in terms of shape, number and proportion, and the layout pattern of the components may also be more complex.
[0053] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the anti-buoyancy support area 200 of the liquid tank 100 is located on the upper part of the liquid tank 100, referring to the anti-buoyancy support structure itself and the planar area of the liquid tank 100 connected to it. The anti-buoyancy support area 200 includes a reinforcing structure 210 provided near 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 reinforcing structure 210, a pressure block fence 230 provided around the pressure block 220 and near the reinforcing structure 210, and a lifting hole 240 provided on part of the reinforcing structure 210.
[0054] This embodiment provides a thermal insulation system for the bottom support area of a liquid tank, such as... Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the insulation system includes a modular insulation panel 300 and a baffle 400.
[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the modular insulation panel 300 is formed by splicing multiple prefabricated insulation panels and is arranged around the reinforcing structure 210. The modular insulation panel 300 includes a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite each other. The first surface of the modular insulation panel 300 is laid on the outer surface of the liquid tank 100 near the anti-buoyancy support area 200. Multiple protruding structures 306 are provided on the first surface. The protruding structures 306 can create 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 leaking after the main shield wall fails can be collected in a predetermined area along this channel. The protruding structures 306 can take different shapes, such as... Figure 13 As shown, the cross-section of the protruding structure 306 can be square, rectangular, circular, or triangular, and its outer surface near the liquid tank 100 protrudes beyond the first surface of the modular insulation panel 300. The second surface of the modular insulation panel 300 is disposed away from the outer surface of the liquid tank 100.
[0056] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the baffle 400 is disposed on the second surface of the modular insulation board 300, surrounding the reinforcing structure 210, the pressure block fence 230, and a portion of the pressure block 220. A space is formed between the baffle 400, the reinforcing structure 210, the pressure block fence 230, and the portion of the pressure block 220, and the space is filled with polyurethane foam 500.
[0057] Because polyurethane foam 500 is difficult to mold or has an irregular shape after molding, it requires additional processing, including cutting, grinding, and surface protection. In this embodiment, by setting baffle 400, the polyurethane foam 500 can be molded directly within the baffle 400, which can save the processing time for cutting and surface protection and improve design and installation efficiency.
[0058] The modular insulation board 300 provides a stable insulation framework, and the polyurethane foam 500 fills the gap between the complex structures, simplifies the construction of the insulation system, improves the design and installation efficiency, reduces the cost of the insulation system, and improves the sealing and insulation capacity of the insulation system of the anti-floating support area. The integration of the insulation system is high, and it can provide good insulation function in a low temperature environment.
[0059] As an implementation mode, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the baffle 400 is provided with an inspection hole 410. The inspection hole 410 is provided to facilitate the spraying of polyurethane foam 500 into the space, and after the polyurethane foam 500 is cured, the outer surface thereof is polished to be flat, and 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, etc.
[0060] As an implementation mode, as shown in Figure 5 , the height difference H between the connection of the baffle 400 and the pressure block 220 and the surface of the pressure block 220 away from the reinforcing structure 210 is between 5mm and 100mm. Alternatively, the height difference H can be, for example, any one of 5mm, 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, or a value selected from any two of the above values.

The surface of the reinforcing layer 320 adjacent to the outer thermal insulation layer 330 is consistent with the surface of the outer thermal insulation layer 330 adjacent to the reinforcing layer 320. The area of the first surface is larger than the area of the second surface.
