Each primary insulating block 11 is positioned in alignment with the secondary insulating block 7 in the thickness direction of the tank wall 1.
The primary sealing film 6 may be produced in various ways. Here, the primary sealing film 6 comprises a continuous layer of a metal strake 8 with raised edges. As in the secondary sealing film 4, the raised edges of the metal strake 8 are welded to parallel welded supports which are fixed in grooves formed in the cover plate of the primary insulating block 11.
In fig. 1, the secondary insulating block 7 is omitted to expose the thickness shims 12 and the weld beads 13 for compensating for the flatness defects of the support wall 2. In particular, the thickness shim 12 is shown in fig. 2. The spacer may also be provided as described in publication WO-A-2018069585.
The anchoring means 20 are preferably positioned at the four corners of the secondary insulating block 7 and the primary insulating block 11. Each stack comprising a secondary insulating block 7 and a primary insulating block 11 is anchored to the supporting wall 2 by four anchoring means 20. Furthermore, each anchoring device 20 cooperates with the corners of four adjacent secondary insulating blocks 7 and the corners of four adjacent primary insulating blocks 11.
Referring to fig. 2, the structure of the second insulating block 7 and the anchoring device 20 according to one embodiment can be seen in more detail.
The first and second secondary insulating blocks 7 comprise an insulating polymer foam layer 16 sandwiched between a base plate 14 and a cover plate 15. For example, the bottom plate 14 and the cover plate 15 are made of plywood.
An insulating polymer foam layer 16 is bonded to the bottom plate 14 and the cover plate 15. The insulating polymer foam may in particular be a polyurethane-based foam, optionally reinforced by fibers.
To position the anchoring device 20 between the four corners of four adjacent secondary insulating blocks 7 (only two of which are visible in the cross-sectional view of fig. 2), the bottom plate 14 of each secondary insulating block 7 includes a cutout in its corner regions to free a rectangular chimney-like gap that receives the anchoring device 20.
The cover plate 15 and insulating polymer foam layer 16 of the second insulating block 7 comprise rectangular chimney shaped openings.
The corner portions are intended to directly or indirectly support the anchoring device 20 thereon; for example, in fig. 2, the anchoring device 20 is supported on the corner portions by the transitions of the spacer portions 50 supported on the bottom plate 14 of the secondary insulating block 7.
According to a variant, not represented, the first insulating block and the second insulating block have a box shape, comprising a bottom plate parallel to a cover plate spaced apart therefrom, and side plates are provided between the bottom plate and the cover plate to define an internal space filled with an insulating filler such as perlite, glass wool or rock wool.
The insulation box of the above-described type also has corner portions and spacer portions in the form of strips capable of receiving the anchoring device 20. Such exclusion boxes are described in detail in document FR 2973097 A1.
The structure of one embodiment of the anchoring device 20 is described below with reference to fig. 2 to 7.
The anchor 20 includes a clamp assembly 30 and an anchor rod 22.
The lower end 61 of the anchor rod 22 is received in the bushing 23, the base of the bushing 23 being welded to the support wall 2 at a central position of the gap between the corner regions of four adjacent secondary insulating blocks 7. The bushing 23 forms a ball joint for the anchoring rod 22. The bushing 23 receives the nut 18, the bushing 23 preventing the nut 18 from rotating, and the lower end 61 of the anchor rod 22 is threaded into the bushing 23. For example, the nut 18 is a resilient stop nut. The anchor rods 22 extend in the thickness direction of the tank wall 1 and pass between adjacent secondary insulating blocks 7.
The clamping assembly 30 comprises, in the thickness direction of the wall, a lower plate 31, a spacing member 33 and an upper plate 32 in that order.
The lower plate 31 and the upper plate 32 have a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with two relatively large faces parallel to the supporting wall 2.
For example, the clamping assemblies 30 are rectangular and have the same dimensions. Alternatively, the profile of the clamping assembly 30 may be a different shape, such as hexagonal or circular.
The lower plate 31 is held by the anchor rods 22 in the direction of the support wall 2, the anchor rods 22 bearing on the spacer portions 50 provided between the lower plate 31 and the bottom plate 14, so as to transmit the clamping force from the clamping assembly 30 in the direction of the support wall 2.
The upper end of the anchor rod 22 is engaged through a central hole 41 in the lower plate 31. The upper end portion is located in a housing 45 formed by the space between the lower plate 31, the upper plate 32 and the spacing member 33.
The nut 42 cooperates with an external thread formed at the level of the upper end portion of the anchoring rod 22 so as to hold the lower plate 31 in the direction of the supporting wall 2.
In the embodiment shown here, the anchoring means 20 comprise one or more belleville washer-type spring elements 43. The spring element 43 is screwed onto the anchoring rod 22 between the upper end 52 of the nut 42 and the lower plate 31, which makes it possible to ensure the elastic anchoring of the secondary insulating block 7 to the supporting wall 2.
The upper end portion of the anchor rod 22 has an upper end 44 that includes indicia 60, the indicia 60 serving as an engagement area for a first driving tool, such as a screwdriver, to rotate the anchor rod 22 relative to the clamping assembly to screw a portion 61 of the anchor rod 22 into the nut 18. The upper end portion of such an anchoring rod 22 can be seen in particular in fig. 4.
The nut 42 includes a nut head having a through passage 64, the through passage 64 being located between the upper plate 32 and the upper end 44 of the anchor rod 22 aligned with the indicia 60 to allow the first driving tool to reach the indicia 60.
The head of the nut 42 includes a marker 62, the marker 62 acting as an engagement area for a second drive tool intended to rotate the nut 42 relative to the clamp assembly 30.
To provide access for the first and second drive tools, the upper plate has an aperture 47, the aperture 47 being centrally located in the upper plate and facing the indicia 60 of the anchor rod 22 and the indicia 62 of the nut 42. The nut 42 includes a lobe 51 at the level of the upper end 52 of the nut 42. An anti-rotation plate 63 comprising a central aperture 53 surrounding the lobe 51 of the nut is welded locally to the upper end 52 of the nut 42 at the level of said lobe 51 to prevent unscrewing of the nut 42.
The nut 42 has a lower portion that engages with the hole 41 in the lower plate.
The spacing member 33 further comprises two holes passing through the spacing member in the thickness direction of the tank wall, and in which two fixing screws 34 are engaged, which fixing screws 34 connect the lower plate 31 and the upper plate 32 to two opposite faces of the spacing member 33. More precisely, the lower end 35 of each set screw 34 is externally threaded and screwed into an internally threaded bore 38 of the lower plate 31.
At the opposite end, each set screw 34 includes a head 36, such as a tapered or flat head, with the head 36 being slidably received in a bore 46 of the upper plate 32. As shown in fig. 2 and 3, abutment of the head 36 on the bottom of the hole 46 defines the position of maximum spacing of the plates 32 and 31. The size of this maximum spacing is defined by the available length of the set screw 34 between the lower plate 31 and the upper plate 32. This length may be fine-tuned during manufacture to adjust the length of the screw threaded into the internally threaded bore.
The spacer member includes an abutment portion having a lower surface and an upper surface parallel to the plates 32 and 31. The thickness of spacer blocks 33 between the lower and upper surfaces defines the minimum spacing between lower plate 31 and upper plate 32. This minimum spacing is achieved in the abutment position shown in fig. 2 and 3, for example, in a position in which the lower plate 31 and the upper plate 32 abut against the lower surface and the upper surface 48 of the spacer block 33.
The spacing member 33 includes, for example, a first rigid portion spaced from and parallel to a second rigid portion. Alternatively, the spacer member 33 includes an abutment portion having the shape of a bridge, a portion of which passes between the anti-rotation plate 63 and the upper plate 32. In this variant, the portion has a passage 65 through the portion so as to allow the first and second driving tools to pass as far as possible to the impression 60 of the anchoring rod 22 and the impression 62 of the nut 42.
To measure whether the adjustment of the nut 42, and in particular the tightening of the nut 42, meets the desired parameters, the upper plate 32 may include a first measurement orifice 58 and a second measurement orifice 59, as shown in fig. 7.
The first measuring aperture 58 is located near the aperture 47 and is open towards the nut 42 or towards the anti-rotation plate 63. The second measuring aperture 59 is located at a greater distance from the aperture 47 than from the first measuring aperture 58 and is open facing the lower plate 31.
For the measurement, a measuring instrument, for example a measuring rod, is inserted in the first measuring aperture 58 to determine the distance between the upper end 52 of the nut 42 and the upper plate 32, and then a measuring instrument or another measuring instrument is inserted in the second measuring aperture 59 to determine the distance between the upper plate 32 and the lower plate 31. With these measurements, the position of the nut 42 relative to the lower plate 31 can be determined, so that the nut 42 can be reliably adjusted.
Referring to fig. 8, wherein the anti-rotation plate is purposely omitted, identical or similar elements carry the same reference numerals increased by 100 and are not repeated. In this variant embodiment, the spacing member 133 further comprises a resilient compressible member 166, the resilient compressible member 166 being used to hold the lower plate 131 and the upper plate 132 in the spaced position. An elastically compressible member 166 is located between the lower plate 131 and the upper plate 132, within the aperture of the spacer member 133, around the fixing screw 134. The resiliently compressible member 166, here represented in the form of a coil spring, is configured to: and resiliently compresses to the abutment position of the lower plate 131 and the upper plate 132 with respect to the abutment portion 33 in response to a force tending to move the upper plate 132 toward the lower plate 131. For details on the elastically compressible members, see document WO2021239712A1.
The installation method for installing the above-described anchor device 20 is described below with reference to fig. 2. The following method is performed directly by the skilled person, for example during the manufacture of a sealed and thermally insulated tank.
The installation method comprises the following steps:
Positioning the anchoring means 20 as described above with reference to fig. 2, i.e. between the four corners of the secondary insulating block 7;
inserting the anchoring rod 22 into the bushing 23 and then into the nut 18 located in the bushing 23;
inserting a first driving tool through the through hole 47 in the upper plate 32, the aperture 53 in the anchor plate and the through passage 64 of the nut head 42 to reach the marking 60 of the anchor rod 22 indicated by arrow 55 in fig. 2;
Threading the anchoring rod 22 into the nut 18, the bushing 23 preventing the nut 18 from rotating, and then removing the first driving tool from the marking 60;
Inserting a second driving tool in a similar manner to the first driving tool to reach the marking 62 of the nut 42 indicated by arrow 56;
the nut 42 is screwed down so as to grip the belleville washer with the desired adjustment and anchor the lower plate 31 to the spacer 50 in the direction of the support wall 2, and then the second driving tool is removed from the marking 62;
welding the anti-rotation plate 63 at the level of the lobe 51, for example using spot welding techniques, using a spot welder directly through the through hole 47 of the upper plate 32.
Because of these features, the number of steps of the method of installing the anchoring device 20 is less than the number of steps of installing the anchoring device conventionally used in a tank in the field.
For the anchoring member shown in fig. 8, the above method optionally further comprises:
Modify the degree of tightening of the two fixing screws 34 as indicated by arrow 57. This step is particularly advantageous for adjusting the prestress of the resilient compressible member 166.
Referring to fig. 9, a cross-sectional view of a methane tanker 70 shows a generally prismatic shaped sealed and insulated tank 71 mounted in a double hull 72 of the vessel 70. The walls of the sealed and thermally insulated tank 71 comprise a primary sealing barrier intended to be in contact with LNG contained in the tank, a secondary sealing barrier arranged between the primary sealing barrier and the double hull 72 of the vessel 70, and two insulating barriers arranged between the primary sealing barrier and the secondary sealing barrier and between the secondary sealing barrier and the double hull 72, respectively.
In a manner known per se, loading/unloading piping 73 provided on the top deck of the ship 70 may be connected to an offshore or port terminal by means of suitable connectors to transfer lng cargo from or to the sealed and thermally insulated tank 71.
Fig. 9 shows an example of an offshore terminal comprising a loading and unloading station 75, a subsea pipeline 76 and a surface facility 77. The loading and unloading station 75 is a stationary offshore unit comprising a mobile arm 74 and a tower 78 supporting the mobile arm 74. The traveling arm 74 carries a bundle of insulated flexible tubing 79 that can be connected to the load/unload conduit 73. The orientable movable arm 74 is suitable for all methane tanker loading meters. A connecting conduit, not shown, extends into the tower 78. The loading and unloading station 75 is capable of loading and unloading from the surface facility 77 to the vessel 70 and from the vessel 70 to the surface facility 77. The surface facility 77 includes a liquefied gas storage tank 80 and a connection pipe 81, the connection pipe 81 being connected to the loading or unloading station 75 by a submarine pipeline 76. The underwater piping 76 is capable of transporting liquefied gas between the loading or unloading station 75 and the surface unit 77 for a long distance, for example 5km, which enables the methane tanker 70 to remain a long distance from shore during loading and unloading operations.
Pumps on board the vessel 70 and/or pumps provided by the surface facilities 77 and/or pumps provided by the pumps 75 of the loading and unloading station are used to generate the pressure required for transferring the liquefied gas.
While the invention has been described in connection with a number of specific embodiments, it is evident that the invention is by no means limited to these embodiments and that the invention comprises all technical equivalents and combinations of the methods described if they fall within the scope of the invention. For example, the anchoring means are adapted to anchor a plurality of insulating blocks present in a tank comprising a structure comprising a single thermal insulating barrier held on a supporting wall and a sealing membrane intended to come into contact with the fluid contained in the tank, the sealing membrane resting on the thermal insulating barrier.
