[0002] In today's society, a large number of cryogenic liquids are used in production and life, such as liquid oxygen O2, liquid nitrogen N2, liquid argon Ar2, liquefied natural gas LNG, etc. Due to the low temperature (about -190℃) characteristics of these liquids, cryogenic containers containing cryogenic liquids must have good low-temperature insulation performance. The low-temperature insulation of fixed cryogenic liquid storage tanks mainly relies on the insulation material filled in the interlayer (vacuum) - expanded perlite (pearl sand). Among them, the moisture content of the insulation material plays a decisive role in the use effect and life of this type of container.
[0003] The internal structure of expanded perlite (pearlescent sand) particles is honeycomb-shaped, and it is difficult to completely remove impurities such as water and air. These impurities will continue to volatilize and release in the vacuum environment of the interlayer, destroying the vacuum degree of the interlayer. Expanded perlite (pearlescent sand) containing water has poor fluidity and is prone to produce holes during the filling process. These holes will make it easier for heat to transfer through the interlayer, making it impossible for the storage tank to fill the entire interlayer, thereby reducing the thermal insulation performance of the storage tank.
[0004] Based on the above problems, the vacuum tank may sweat, frost on the surface, deteriorate insulation performance, increase the evaporation rate of the tank, etc. The vacuum degree of the interlayer will gradually decrease until the tank cannot be used. Summary of the invention

The volume of the insulation box 1 is 80m³, and the heating layers in the insulation box 1 are arranged in three layers. Two rows of the high-temperature nitrogen jet pipes 4 are arranged in each heating layer, and the distance between two adjacent jet ports 5 on the high-temperature nitrogen jet pipe 4 is 100mm×100mm, so as to ensure the heating and drying effect of the pearl sand.
[0031] Specifically, the thermal insulation box 1 includes an outer shell 101 and an inner tube 102, an insulation layer 103 is provided between the outer shell 101 and the inner tube 102, and the insulation distance between the outer shell 101 and the inner tube 102 is 250 mm to reduce the high temperature in the thermal insulation box 1 from being conducted outward.
[0032] In this embodiment, a brass mesh is arranged outside the high-temperature nitrogen gas jet pipe 4. The brass mesh is arranged in two layers. The specification of the brass mesh is 200 meshes to prevent pearl sand from entering the jet pipe from the jet port 5 and causing blockage.
[0033] In this embodiment, a plurality of feeding ports 2 are provided on the insulation box 1, and a cover plate 3 is provided at each of the feeding ports 2 of the insulation box 1. After drying is completed, the pearlescent sand in the insulation box 1 can be preserved by closing the cover plate 3, so that the pearlescent sand can be prepared in advance and used whenever needed, which is more convenient.
[0034] In this embodiment, the discharge port is externally connected to a discharge pipe 11, and a discharge valve 12 is provided on the discharge pipe 11. When discharging, the discharge valve 12 is opened, and the pearlescent sand is sucked into the interlayer of the vacuum storage tank through a negative pressure pump, so that the pearlescent sand will not be exposed to the air, thereby avoiding secondary contamination of the pearlescent sand.
[0035] In this embodiment, a bracket 13 is provided on the outside of the heat preservation box 1 to facilitate the installation of the discharge pipe 11 and facilitate the discharge of materials.
[0036] It is worth mentioning that in this application, the fan 6 is a blower, and the parameters of the fan 6 are: motor voltage: ~380V, power: 1.0KW, blower outlet pressure is 3Kpa, flow rate: 5~10m³ / min, actual control flow rate: 1.5 m³ / min; the heater 7 is an electric heater, and the parameters of the heater 7 are: electric heating tube voltage: ~380V, power: 20KW, automatic temperature control: 0~260℃, and the actual temperature is automatically controlled to 150℃±1℃.
