SOLUTION: A plurality of liners 1 respectively composed of a barrel 4 and panel boards 5 closing both end openings of the barrel 4 are arranged, and two liners 1 adjacent to each other are connected and integrated through connecting members 2 mounted therebetween. Insides of the connected and integrated liners 1 are communicated with each other through communication passages 3 formed on the liners 1 and the connecting members 2. The connecting members 2 are respectively formed by joining tips of connecting member forming projections 16 respectively mounted on two liners 1 adjacent to each other, in a state of being kept into contact with each other. Two liners 1 adjacent to each other are respectively provided with a through hole 17 from an inner faces to a tip of the connecting member forming projection 16, and the through holes 17 of both liners 1 are communicated with each other to form the communication passages 3.

PURPOSE:To establish simplification, low cost and improvement of safety, of a transporting provision means by achieving at a normal temperature condition the transportation for cold medium from a supplying place to a receiving place and vice versa. CONSTITUTION:A cold energy exchanger 1 provided in the delivery line of the low temperature, liquidized gas such as LNG, etc. is used for a supplying source and the low temperature and low pressure, gas cold medium is radiated through the hot and cold exchanger to the low temperature liquidized gas on the delivery line. The cold medium is stored in a receiver tank 2 after changing it to the low temperature and low pressure fluid condition, the pressure of the stored cold medium is increased by a pump 3, thereafter the temperature of the foregoing cold medium is increased by a heat exchanger 4 utilizing the sea water, etc. as the thermal source to obtain the fluid cold medium of normal temperature and high pressure. The cold medium is transported through a piping means, etc. to the receiving side. In the receiving side, the cold medium is expanded to the low temperature and low pressure, condition, therefore the cold energy can be used and supplied to the load 6 such as a freezing warehouse, etc.

PURPOSE:To cope with the enlargement of the spherical tank by embedding PC steel material in a hollow body made of concrete and spreading the sheet metal onto the inner surface of the spherical body of the spherical tank. CONSTITUTION:A spherical body 2 made of the prestressed concrete is installed in place, and a manhole frame 3 is provided in both poles of the spherical body 2 and a rib 4 in its equator. The rib 4 is connected to the manhole frame 3, and the PC steel material 5a embedded in the spherical body 2 in the longitudinal direction is tensioned to anchor its respective ends to the manhole frame 3 and rib 4. A pair of ribs 7 is provided in the longitudinal direction, and the PC material 5b in the latitudinal direction is tensioned to anchor its ends to the ribs 7. A prestress is introduced into the spherical body 2 in this manner. The metal sheet 8 is spread on the inner surface of the spherical body 2 to maintain the airtightness of the tank.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To heighten the follow-up performance of a tank and a skirt to thermal variation by forming a cylindrical skirt supporting a spherical tank by means of a vertically corrugated wall that is corrugated in the circumferential direction. CONSTITUTION:A spherical tank is welded along its equatorial line 6 and fixed to a foundation 5 by continuous skirts 2 and 3 that are extending downward from the equatorial line 6. The skirt 2 or 3 takes a form of a corrugated wall whose radial cross section is corrugated in the circumferential direction. When the tank and the skirts 2 and 3 are to be shrunk, they themselves can shrink easily because the upper skirt 2 can deform easily in its radial direction. Thus, both the thermal stress in the skirt and the bending moment to the tank wall can be reduced.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the back-flow of liquid helium in a transfer tube, by providing a back-flow preventing valve and a stopper member in the transfer tube. CONSTITUTION:A back-flow preventing means 6 is fixed to the inside of a transfer tube 4 at the position thereof located on the side of a cryostat 3. The back- flow preventing means 6 consists of a back-flow preventing valve 7, a support member 8 and a stopper member 9. When the back-flow of liquid helium is caused, the back-flow preventing valve 7 is forced upward to the position where it is held in tight contact with the stopper member 9, so that the back-flow of liquid helium in the transfer tube 4 can be prevented.
Abstract:
The technical application result of the claimed design is to increase the solidity and reliability at the minimal weight and extreme loads. The technical result is achieved by the fact that the high-pressure cylinder contains the outlet neck, at least in one of the bottoms, the thin-walled hermetizing liner from the thin-walled stainless steel and the external power shell of a composite material, formed by the combination of layers-shells in the grouped tapes, oriented on the liner' surface in the geodesic directions with different angles and linear densities, respectively comprizing the threads of reinforcement material, given that the meridian profile|, forming the surface of liner's bottom, has the shape of a curve, tightly covering forming meridians of nested parts of layers-shells, the first of them from the neck to the second one being the surface of geodesic isotensoid, and those subsequential coincide by cross-sections of their polar apertures with the conditional flat surface of a given shape and satisfy the condition: sin ³ = Àpr 2 2 ˆ‘ i = 1 k T �¢ n i �¢ cos Õ i where ³ is the angle between the rotation axis and the perpendicular to the surface in the evaluated cross-section, T - efforts for breaking the reinforcing threads, n - reinforcement power (the number of threads) in the i - th layer of the shell, Õi - reinforcement angle in the evaluated cross-section, r is the radius of the considered cross-section, p is the pressure in the cylinder, k is the number of inserted layers-shells.
