LIQUEFIED GAS TANK AND METHOD OF FILLING.

摘要

A liquefied gas tank having thermal insulation in association with a fluidtight body. A liquid supply line terminates at a location within the upper half of said vessel and discharges into a vertical draft-tube which is in fluid communication with the ullage portion of the vessel. The liquefied gas which is supplied into the draft-tube is conditioned to the pressure and temperature within the vessel as it travels downward to the bottom before it can flow radially outward into the tank.
