Abstract
1,135,965. Liquefied gas storage containers. J. J. McMULLEN. 14 March, 1966 [15 March, 1965; 16 March, 1965; 24 Sept., 1965], No. 4825/68. Divided out of 1,135,963. Heading F4P. Cooling of a liquefied gas, e.g. methane, cargo tank having spaced inner and outer walls 24, 22 and insulation 20 spaced from wall 22 is effected by circulating through the insulation and interwall spaces nitrogen gas having been cooled at 44 by heat exchange with liquid methane withdrawn from a storage tank 48, and the so-vaporized methane is passed through pipes 50, 52 to the interior of the cargo tank. The cold nitrogen gas leaving exchanger 44 is circulated through a pipe 30 in the insulation space and is returned through an aperture 32 in said pipe 30 and through a pipe 38 to the inlet of a blower 40 which discharges into exchanger 44, whilst a portion of cold nitrogen leaving aperture 32 passes through an aperture in the outer wall 22 into the interwall space and is returned through an aperture 38a to the blower inlet. The tank is also cooled by liquid methane from storage tank 48 passing through a spray pipe 60. Final cooling is effected by passing liquid nitrogen instead of liquid methane through exchanger 44. During cooling, methane vapour is withdrawn from the cargo tank through a pipe 53 and is either heated at 54 for use as fuel gas or is returned to a liquefier 58. Prior to the abovementioned cooling, the cargo tanks, insulation space and interwall space is dehydrated then purged with nitrogen gas at 0 C. withdrawn from a source 36 and passed through pipes 30, 34; the purged nitrogen being withdrawn from the interwall and insulation spaces by blower 40 which then delivers to atmosphere through a pipe 46. The cargo tank is then filled with liquid methane through line 60 and the circulating nitrogen is cooled by withdrawing by means of a pump (not shown), a small portion of liquid cargo and passing it through exchanger 44 and returning the methane vapour to the tank through pipes 50, 52. After unloading the cargo the circulating nitrogen is cooled by a portion of residual methane being passed through exchanger 44.
