ABSTRACT:
Thermally insulated container or tank wall construction for cryogenic fluids such as liquid natural gas (LNG) comprising at least two layers of an insulation material, preferably a fiberglass reinforced urethane foam, having an inner liner, preferably in the form of an aluminum foil-fiberglass cloth combination, in contact with the cryogenic fluid, the inner liner being perforated to permit rapid venting, and a thermal stabilizing barrier or liner between the layers of insulation, the stabilizing barrier also preferably being formed of a combination of fiberglass cloth with a layer of aluminum foil to reduce permeability. The two liners are bonded to the individual layers of insulation and the insulation is in turn bonded to the container or tank wall by a suitable adhesive such as a polyurethane adhesive.
In the design of such system, the low permeability thermal stabilization barrier is placed a distance from the cold insulation face adjacent the inner liner equal to or greater than a distance at which boiling will be established adjacent the thermal stabilizing barrier, thereby building up a thin gas layer adjacent to such barrier and preventing liquid from contacting and penetrating the stabilizing barrier.
