AI Technical Summary
When existing LNG storage tanks are used outdoors, sunlight penetrates the top cover's cold insulation layer, which has a poor insulation effect, causing the temperature inside the tank to rise, affecting the storage effect.
A top cover cold insulation layer is set on the top of the inner tank of the LNG storage tank, and the sunshade and heat insulation board is connected through the installation rod and the fixing block, and fixed with bolts to achieve the height adjustment and locking of the sunshade and heat insulation board to block direct sunlight. The elastic felt layer and expanded perlite layer between the outer tank and the inner tank are combined to improve the thermal insulation.
It effectively blocks direct sunlight, improves the thermal insulation of the inner tank, and ensures long-term storage of LNG at low temperatures. The structure is easy to disassemble and assemble, and easy to maintain.
