摘要

P support structure for the storage tank to horizontal circular section which is subjected in operation of the expansions and contractions. An element of the annular support fixed to the container rests in sliding contact on a bracket. On the bottom of the annular element is fixed to a ring formed of two short cylinders connected by a horizontal wall and provided with an external insulating. On the bracket extends an annular groove delimited by two short cylinders are spaced apart of the cylinders. The tank is immobilized at ambient temperature, by contact between the insulant and the cylinder of a gutter, and to its low operating temperature, by contact between the insulant and the interior cylinder of the gutter. / p & & p & application, in particular, to the tanks for storing and transportation of liquefied gas. / p
