ASSEMBLIES OF HERMETIC AND THERMOINSULATING WALLS OF TANKS FOR LIQUIFIED GAS, TO BE FASTENED WITHIN A SHIP

摘要

Methane tanker comprises two heat insulating barriers and two fluid-tight barriers, positioned alternately with a fluid-tight barrier innermost and the outermost insulating barrier attached to the hull of the ship. The other fluid-tight barrier is positioned between the two insulating barriers and comprises vertical plates joined together by welding to horizontal metallic strips. One edge of each strip is slidably connected to the outer insulating barrier and the other edge is resiliently connected to the inner insulating barrier.
