    Abstract: A four-lobe cargo tank for transporting and/or storage of liquefied gases includes four main lobes, each with a cylinder sector outer shell and main lobe axis. The four main lobes are arranged with the four main lobe axis axial-parallel with and about a common main central axis, such that the four main lobes are joined by four web frames with four corresponding diagonally arranged perforated bulkheads directed outwardly from the main central axis. The tank includes a first and a second end cover. Each end cover includes four quarter spherical shell portions, each forming an end portion of the cylinder sector outer shell. The quarter spherical shell portions of the first and second end covers, respectively, are joined and closing toward the main central axis by a first and a second four diagonally arranged cylindrical 45-degree cut pipe portions, which are each arranged with its axis transverse to the main axis.

    Abstract: A structural component having an internal support structure extending between outer wall portions of the component with one or more compartments included within the support structure. The support structure has support members including internal walls positioned between and/or defined by the compartments. At least one support member connects between the outer wall portions of the component to enhance the structural integrity of the component. The structural component, including the internal support, are cast from a molten material, and in some cases the support members of the internal support structure are formed with a rectilinear configuration. In some cases the cast structural component is a container and the one or more compartments are configured to store a fluid, such as a gas or a liquid. One or more preforms can be used to form a container and may be retained or eliminated from the container after casting.

    Abstract translation: 具有内部支撑结构的结构部件,所述内部支撑结构在所述部件的外壁部分之间延伸,其中一个或多个隔室包括在所述支撑结构内。 支撑结构具有支撑构件,其包括位于隔室之间和/或由间隔室限定的内壁。 至少一个支撑构件连接在构件的外壁部分之间,以增强构件的结构完整性。 包括内部支撑件的结构部件从熔融材料铸造,并且在一些情况下,内部支撑结构的支撑构件形成为直线构型。 在一些情况下,铸造结构部件是容器,并且一个或多个隔室构造成存储流体,例如气体或液体。 可以使用一个或多个预成型件来形成容器,并且可以在铸造之后从容器中保持或除去。
