SEPARATION AND ORGANISATION OF CONTAINERS, SERIOUS TANKS FOR WEST GAS

摘要

The invention relates to liquefied gas containers, particularly liquefied gas ships, having a foamed plastics insulation system. The invention provides an arrangement for the corners/top edge of the insulation in which the foam plastic insulation material for each wall area is foamed onto a rigid outer support shell so that it stops just short of the corners/top edge of said shell. The edges of the foam are anchored by reinforcement mesh or the like bonded to the inner face of the foam, the mesh extending over the edges of the foam and being bonded by adhesive into the shell corners. In the case of the corners, a coving is laid across each corner and is bonded to the inner faces of the adjacent wall areas. Further foamed insulation is then built up behind the coving to the required thickness.
