Ship insulated tank for liquid gas - with support ribs braced by insulation filling and wood strut framework

摘要

The liquid gas tank is held at a low temperature, and is supported away from the hull by thermally insulating struts with low thermal conductivity and improved lateral strength. The inner (10) and outer (8) walls of the tank are made with a smooth finish thermally insulating material. The two layers are held apart by special struts 8 & 9 formed by parallel plates of thermally insulating material, set normal to the tank walls and held apart by rigid blocks of wood or other material, and with the space between the walls filled with thermally insulating foam etc.
