SEALED AND INSULATING VESSEL COMPRISING A SUPPORT FOOT

摘要

A vessel wall comprises a sealing barrier (6) and a support foot (10) for an item of equipment immersed in the sealed vessel. The sealing barrier comprises a corrugated metal sheet layer (11) having at least one series of parallel corrugations (15), the corrugated metal sheet layer being interrupted at a window (25) surrounding the support foot. The support foot extends longitudinally through the window. The sealing barrier comprises connecting parts (45, 50) for sealingly connecting the support foot to a marginal portion of the corrugated metal sheet layer that delimits the window. The window (25) interrupts the directrices of a plurality (20) of the parallel corrugations of the series, and the support foot is centred at a position situated between the directrices (A) of two parallel corrugations (20).
