Abstract: A cryogenic tank includes a shell having an interior side, an exterior side, and an internal volume that is bounded by the interior side. The shell has a shape that includes at least two elongated lobes that are defined by partial cylinders that intersect each other. The partial cylinders extend lengths along central longitudinal axes that are offset from each other. The lobes include opposite domes that extend at opposite ends of the length of the corresponding partial cylinder. The cryogenic tank includes an internal reinforcement frame having a web of elongate frame members extending within the internal volume. The frame members extend along the interior side of the shell such that lengths of the frame members extend along paths that follow the profile of the interior side of the shell. The internal reinforcement frame is configured to distribute loads exerted on the shell along at least three different directions.

Abstract translation: 低温罐包括具有内侧，外侧和由内侧限定的内部容积的外壳。 壳体具有包括由彼此相交的部分气缸限定的至少两个细长的凸角的形状。 部分气缸沿着相互偏移的中心纵向轴线延伸长度。 叶片包括在对应的部分圆柱体的长度的相对端延伸的相对的圆顶。 低温罐包括内部增强框架，其具有在内部体积内延伸的细长框架构件的腹板。 框架构件沿着壳体的内侧延伸，使得框架构件的长度沿着沿着壳体的内侧的轮廓的路径延伸。 内部加强框架构造成沿着至少三个不同的方向分布施加在壳体上的载荷。
