METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION OF WAVE-FREE RELIEF OF SEALING MEMBRANES Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F17C3/02 B63B25/16 

FIELD: storage of gases or liquids.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to the storage of gases or liquids. Sealed and thermally insulated vessel comprising a vessel wall on a bearing structure (2), the vessel wall including an insulating barrier (1), an impervious barrier (4) and an anchoring member (3) . Impervious barrier comprising: a first corrugated metal membrane (5) arranged on a first portion of the insulating barrier, a second corrugated metal membrane (6) arranged on a second portion of the insulating barrier, a first plurality of caps (9) and a second plurality of caps (10). These membranes are located on opposite sides of the anchoring component, and their attachable edge is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction of the anchoring component (3). Anchoring component is extended longitudinally. Each membrane is provided with a first group of undulating corrugations that intersect with the edge to be attached. There are also end corrugated portions which are associated with the first group of undulating corrugations of the first membrane and which are oriented towards the second membrane in the direction, transverse with respect to the attachable edge, projecting beyond the end corrugations associated with the first group of undulating corrugations of the second membrane. Each cap comprises a metal component having an end corrugated portion (19) in the form of a dome, it is intended for connection to the corresponding wave-like corrugation and for its closing. It extends to the plate-like base (21) surrounding said corrugated portion. Attachable edge of the first membrane is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction of the anchoring component, and each undulating corrugation of the first group of wave-like corrugations of the first membrane is hermetically sealed by a cap (9) from the first plurality of caps distributed along the edge to be attached. Attachable edge (17) of the second membrane carries projecting portions distributed in the longitudinal direction of the anchor component that cover the first membrane, and the cut out portions (12) which alternate with the protruding portions, are arranged as continuations of undulating corrugations of the first group of the first membrane and open the hermetic zones of the anchoring component. Each cap (9) of the first plurality covers the first membrane (5) and the open airtight region of the anchoring component, and the projecting portions are aligned with the first group of wave-like corrugations (8) of the second membrane, while each wavelike corrugation of the first group of wavelike corrugations of the second membrane is hermetically sealed by the cap (10) of the second plurality of caps, distributed along the attachable edge, each cap (10) of the second plurality covering the projecting portions of the second and first membranes. Vessel for transporting a cooled liquid product having a reservoir with such a wall. Method of loading or unloading a vessel in which a cooled liquid product is conveyed over heat-insulated pipes. System for moving a cooled liquid product, comprising a ship, thermally insulated pipes and a pump for pumping a cooled liquid product over heat-insulated pipes.

EFFECT: group of inventions for storing and transporting gases and liquids was proposed.
