PERFECCIONAMIENTO EN LA CONSTRUCCION DEL CASCO DE LOS BUQUES DE CARGA ELEVADA Y-O BAJA TEMPERATURA.

摘要

The freight container hull has an upright cylindrical tank (6) with insulation on its outer circumference and a convex top. The tank is mounted in an insulating base (12) in the hull. A skirt (10) depends from the tank and is connected to the hull. Only the upper part of the skirt is insulated, so that this part may reach the temperature of the tank. The lower part of the skirt is at ambient temp. The major part of the tank bottom plate can be at a level lower than the upper end of the skirt.
