TANK FOR LIQUEFIED GASES Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F17C13/08 F17C3/00 

FIELD: cryogenic engineering.

SUBSTANCE: tank comprises vessel, two pairs of insulating supports, and locking unit. Each of the supports is made of semi-spherical insert mounted in the socket of the bed and interacting with the cantilever which is secured to the housing of the vessel through the insulating spaces. The unit for locking against the longitudinal and transverse loads is made of spherical stop that cooperates with the vessel by means of heat insulating sleeve mounted on the fitting at the center of the bottom section of the vessel. The movement of the supports of the vessel in longitudinal directions during temperature deformation is provided with the grooves made in cantilevers that receive bushing mounted by means of fastening members. The bushing has grooves for permitting transverse movement of the supports of the vessel.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability and reduced labor consumption for assembling.
