CONTAINER FOR RECEIVING AND STORING LIQUIDS AND VISCOUS SUBSTANCES AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to containers for receiving and storing cryogenic fluids, especially cryogenic liquids and viscous substances, said containers comprising a casing (12) and at least one partition (14) that divides the inside (16) of the container (10) into at least two adjacent chambers (18, 18'). The invention is characterised in that the at least one partition (14) has a sandwich-type structure and comprises two covering layers (20, 20') respectively facing one of the at least two adjacent chambers (18, 18'), and an intermediate layer (22) that is arranged in a space (24) between the two covering layers (20, 20'), transmits mechanical forces and/or torques, is heat-insulating or reduces a heat flux, and consists of a polymer foam. Said intermediate layer (22), which transmits mechanical forces and/or torques, is heat-insulating or reduces a heat flow, and consists of a polymer foam, completely or essentially completely fills the space (24) between the two covering layers (20, 20') and adheres to the two covering layers (20, 20') by means of an adhesive (67), especially an intumescent adhesive, preferably a paste-like glue, a film cement or an epoxy resin. The invention also relates to methods for producing said containers, and to a use thereof.
