AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing liquefied gas storage facilities face challenges in ensuring the reliable translational locking of secondary stop beams in the longitudinal direction, which is crucial for managing tensile and compressive forces, particularly during thermal contraction and hull deformation of floating structures.

Method used

The implementation of a secondary stop beam system with support angles and pressure screws, where the support angles are fixed to the secondary stop beam and the pressure screws adjust the position of the stop beam, ensures effective translational locking and force management.

Benefits of technology

This solution provides a simple and reliable method for locking the secondary stop beams in translation, effectively managing tensile and compressive forces and enhancing the structural integrity and operational efficiency of liquefied gas storage facilities, especially on floating structures.

Abstract

The invention relates to a liquefied gas storage apparatus comprising a load-bearing structure (2) and a sealed and insulated tank (71) supported by the load-bearing structure (2) and comprising a secondary insulated baffle (7) of the ceiling wall (4) having at least a first and second secondary fixed support (23) positioned along the first horizontal edge (T) of the loading / unloading opening (14); at least a secondary baffle (38) which extends along the first horizontal edge (T) and at least rests on the secondary cover (24) of each support in the first and second secondary fixed support (23); secondary baffle (38) comprising supports (41) which are fixed to the secondary baffle (38); Each support in the first and second secondary fixed support (23) includes a blocking device (42) which is constructed to press the secondary blocking beam (38) against the blocking surface of each support in the first and second secondary fixed support (23);Each blocking device (42) consists of a support bar fixed to the secondary cover (24) and a locating screw (44) which is fitted to move in the longitudinal direction in the threaded hole arranged in the aforementioned support bar and rest against one of the supports (41).;
