Abstract:
The tower or tower foot for a spherical tank for use in the transport of cold products is designed in order to be able to absorb stresses from the tower on the tank shell with a desired degree of flexibility, preferably in the tower foot, e.g. in a zone (A-A') thereof, and/or as a flexible element.
Abstract:
In a system for the provision of fuel gas from decoction (boil-off) from liquefied petroleum gas and optionally gas produced by the evaporation of the liquefied gas, there is used a combined heat exchanger (13), wherein boil-off and liquefied petroleum gas are heated. Via a common mixing chamber (16) in the combined heat exchanger a combined stream of overheated gas may be supplied to a compressor (18). The compressor (18) may advantageously be of a normal type since its suction temperature will be sufficiently high to allow this, precisely as a result of the heating and evaporation, respectively, in the combined heat exchanger.
Abstract:
A device for spherical ship's tanks (1), especially for liquid natural gas, comprising discharge pipes and filling pipes (3, 4 respectively) which extend vertically and centrally in the tank (1). The upper part of the pipes (3, 4) is attached to the tank and they extend down to the bottom (11) of the tank (1), being suspended in the tank, and the bottom part being passed slidably into respective muffs (15), which are permanently connected to the tank bottom (1). Between the pipes (3, 4) there extend cross-members (5, 6), these together with the pipes (3, 4) forming a truss beam.

Abstract:
A device for connecting a container wall (1) with a pipe (10) which extends through the container wall (1). The device comprises a muff (3) which is provided coaxially with and on the outside of the pipe (10). One end section of the muff (3) is connected with the pipe (10) and the container wall (1) is connected with the muff (3) at a point which is located at a distance from this end section. The end section of the muff (3) comprises a ring flange (5) which is arranged for sealing, releasable connection with a ring flange (11) of the pipe (10).
Abstract:
A tank, especially a ship's tank, for transport of liquid natural gas. The tank comprises two hemispherical sections (2, 3) which are connected to each other via a cylindrical section (4), whose diameter corresponds to the diameter of the spherical sections. The length of the cylindrical section is less than 1/3 of the diameter.
