    Abstract: An insulated spherical pressure vessel, such as a sphere, having an insulation system installed thereon. The insulation system includes an equatorial support including an equatorial support bar having upper and lower rods attached to upper and lower sides, and a plurality of clips perpendicular to the bar, the clips having one or more holes for additional rods. One or more insulation layers are installed and held against the sphere wall by metal bands. A cable support matrix including metal straps and horizontal cables is installed over the insulation layers, and then insulation panels are secured to the matrix cables using fasteners. The insulation panels each include insulation material and an exterior metal jacket. The panels are secured to horizontally adjacent insulation panels with standing seams. The cables are not secured to the metal straps in any way, but are allowed to freely move through belt loops of the metal straps.

    Abstract: An insulated pressure vessel, such as a coke drum, having an insulation system installed thereon. The insulation system includes an insulation support system comprising either a floating ring type support system, or a cage type support system including a plurality of vertically spaced insulation support rings each having a diameter greater than the external diameter of the coke drum. A plurality of insulation panels are secured to the support rings, each panel including insulation material and an exterior metal jacket. The panels are secured to horizontally adjacent insulation panels with standing seams. Weather shields may be provided over the top of the seams. Tensioned insulation securing cables, corresponding in number to the insulation support rings, are routed through horizontally aligned eyelets in each standing seam.
