Description

1 TARIFF CHRYOGENIC LIQUID GAS TANK WITH GAS LEAK DETECTION CAPABILITY. STRUCTURE AND GAS LEAK DETECTION METHOD TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention makes it easier to detect potential gas leaks. a cryogenic tank (100) structure and what happens in cryogenic tanks (100) It relates to methods for detecting gas leaks. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE 10 Cryogenic liquefied gas tanks store liquefied gases at very low temperatures. These are specialized tanks designed for safe storage and transportation. Tanks generally consist of two layers: an inner and an outer shell. The layers... By providing vacuum insulation between them, heat transfer is minimized and the gas is in liquid state. This ensures it stays in place. Mostly using durable materials such as steel, 15 These tanks are manufactured for industrial gases such as liquefied oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and methane. It is used in storage. Its areas of use include the chemical industry and the energy sector. There is a wide range of applications, including medical applications and space technologies. Gas leaks in cryogenic tanks are usually caused by structural damage to the tank or faulty seals. 20 due to reasons such as wear and tear, leaks at connection points or incorrect assembly These leaks can occur. Over time, these leaks can increase and disrupt the pressure balance inside the tank. This can cause the liquid to transition to the gas phase. Leak detection is usually done using ultrasonic technology. This is done using technological devices such as detectors, pressure sensors, and thermal cameras. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to minimize the risk of leaks. Failure to detect gas leaks leads to serious safety and environmental problems. It can open. If the leaking gas is flammable, it can pose a risk of explosion and fire. Especially Leaks of gases such as liquefied oxygen can increase oxygen levels in the environment, thus causing a fire. This can multiply the danger. Furthermore, cryogenic gases generally have very low temperatures. Therefore, freezing damage can occur in the leak area. This type of Leaks can lead to environmental pollution, increased costs, and operational disruptions. These 30 Therefore, cryogenic tanks must be regularly inspected and leak detection systems must be installed. Its effective use is of vital importance. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION 2 Thermal labels are resistant to heat thanks to a special thermal coating applied to their surface. These are types of labels that can be printed on with high sensitivity. They are usually made of paper or synthetic materials. a material is found and its thermal coating changes color when exposed to heat. It is changing. These labels, in the known state of the art, are direct thermal or thermal. It can be used with transfer printers and prints quickly and easily without the need for ink or ribbon. They enable the application of economic pressure. Thermal labels are used in logistics, retail, In many sectors such as healthcare, food, and manufacturing, barcodes are used to display pricing, product information, and expiration dates. It is used for printing data such as dates, especially for short-lived data. These labels, preferred in applications, stand out with their low cost and ease of use. It is drawing. 10 In one design of the invention, the thermal label is designed to withstand temperatures below a certain level. It can be a mechanical structure that automatically activates when it is dropped. The mechanical structure consists of a colored metal and a spring system. Metal and spring. They are interconnected. And in the system's initial state, colored metal is selected by the user. It is not in a visible position. This system also has 15 components that enable the system to be active. It includes a control pin. By pulling the control pin, the mechanical structure contained within the label is activated. It becomes active and detects the temperature of the surface to which the label is applied. It starts. The control pin prevents heat transfer between the surface and the label. Pulling the control pin removes this blockage, and the system is then attached. It begins to make contact with the surface. The temperature reaching the label after contact is 20. If the value falls below the specified level, the amplitude of the broadcast changes and the broadcast... It opens. With this opening, the colored metal attached to the pedestrian shifts position and It becomes apparent to the user that the temperature has dropped. It shows. The aim of our invention is to solve the technical problem 25 mentioned in the previous technical section. Gas leaks in cryogenic tanks can be repaired with a simple and low-cost material. Identification is done using thermal labels. This allows for the detection of gas starting on the tank. The detection of leaks can be carried out as quickly as possible, thus protecting the environment and people. The risk to the technology can be minimized. Furthermore, thanks to this invention, the known aspects of the technique can be improved. The technical knowledge and expertise required to detect a gas leak in this situation is 30. by minimizing the need, in the event of a possible leak, by all relevant employees Detection is made possible. 3 LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1.

The structure that makes the technical effects of the invention possible is the gas in the carbonic tanks (100) 15 It is based on the fact that when there is a leak, the tank's temperature begins to drop. This at this point, a safety precaution indicating that the aforementioned temperature change has begun. Thermal labels (1, 2, 3, 4) were used. Thermal labels (1, 2, 3, 4), tank (100) They change color by sensing temperature variations due to their inherent structure. This makes it easy to detect any gas leaks in the tank (100). 20 Adverse effects of gas leaks in cryogenic tanks (100) on humans, This is seen in the environment and also causes raw material losses for companies. It gives. When gas leakage starts in the tank (100) the temperature level drops It is starting. Taking this feature into consideration, temperature-sensitive thermal labels are being developed. (1, 2, 3, 4); to shorten the intervention time to the tank (100), the risk of the tank (100) being leaky is 25 around the possible front (2) and rear (4) bulge, in the fuselage (1) section and the control By positioning it in unit (3), it changes color to detect gas leakage. This ensures that the temperature levels of the tank (100) are maintained in case of a possible gas leak. The temperature reaches -10°C at the front dome, while it drops to between -20°C and -27°C at the rear dome. Thanks to the thermal labels (1, 2, 3, 4) that the user can easily check, 30 When temperatures reach this level, the thermal label (1, 2, 3, 4) detects the heat and changes color. It is changing.
