Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for cryogenic liquids, consisting of an outer container and a number of réellemitem, preferably in the space between the inner containers and the outer container for thermal insulation, a vacuum prevails.
  • a container for cryogenic liquids consisting of an outer container and a number of réellemitem, preferably in the space between the inner containers and the outer container for thermal insulation, a vacuum prevails.
  • Such containers are intended for installation in motor vehicles, aircraft or spacecraft. They contain liquefied gases which are removed from the container for use either as fuel or for other purposes (such as cooling medium).
  • the vacuum insulation is intended to prevent the entry of heat and thus evaporation of the cryogenic liquids and the associated increase in pressure.
  • the cryogenic liquid can also be stored at high pressure. On the one hand, this increases the stored quantity for the same volume, but on the other hand, the container becomes heavier in order to withstand the pressure load.
  • the vacuum insulation has a pressure on the containers.
  • the outer container is from the outside by the atmospheric pressure loaded, because in its interior the vacuum acts.
  • the inner containers are loaded by the full internal pressure, because they are surrounded by a vacuum.
  • longitudinal axis direction is understood to mean a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the longitudinal axes of the adjacent inner containers. Small deviations from parallelism fall within the scope of protection of this claim.
  • the container is a tank in a flat construction, although certain deviations in the sense of a slight curvature of the top, bottom and / or side surface of the outer container are permitted and fall within the scope of the present protection claim.
  • a plurality of inner containers are arranged in the outer container, wherein the longitudinal axes are arranged substantially parallel and in a plane. Slight deviations with respect to the parallelism of the longitudinal axes or a slight axial offset of an inner container from a common level, however, are allowed and covered by the scope of protection of the present protection claim.
  • the outer container can be stabilized against occurring compressive and tensile loads from the inside as well as from the outside. Such compressive and tensile loads can be caused for example by an evacuation of the outer tank or by mechanical external loads on the outer tank.
  • a construction of a flat container is proposed which does not have the disadvantages known and discussed in the prior art. It should be as light and easy as possible with the best thermal insulation.
  • this is achieved in that the inner containers are juxtaposed cylinders with a bottom on both sides, and that the planar wall parts of the outer container are supported against one another by supports disposed between the cylinders. Thanks to the arrangement of several inner container side by side (not all inner container necessarily in a plane next to each other must be arranged) can be maintained at internal pressure particularly favorable cylindrical shape. This makes it possible to store the cryogenic liquid under high pressure even with relatively small wall thickness. In addition there is the advantage that the cylinders can be used in the manner of a modular system for containers of different external dimensions in different numbers and in different constellations.
  • the support is a pressure support, that is to say a support for the support of / against compressive forces and / or a tensile support for the support of / against tensile forces.
  • the inner containers are provided as separate containers, for example as structurally separate cylindrical tank containers, which are filled and / or emptied via a suitable device, optionally together or separately.
  • the support based on a section of the support with the plane of the longitudinal axes of the adjacent inner container, the support has a measured along the longitudinal axis direction maximum longitudinal extent and normal to a measured between the adjacent inner tanks maximum width extension.
  • the ratio of maximum length extension to maximum width extension is at least 1.25: 1. This results in a particularly good stability of the container according to the invention. If the support between two inner containers consists of a plurality of support elements arranged along the longitudinal axis, the maximum length expansions or maximum width expansions of the support elements are added to determine the effective total length extension or overall width extension of the support acting between the inner containers.
  • Overcovers of two or more pressure-bearing support elements in the longitudinal or width direction contribute only once to the determination of the effective total length or the effective overall width of the support.
  • the thus determined effective Overall length or overall width of the support elements is considered as dimension (length extension, width extension) of the support.
  • the support elements are arranged symmetrically or at approximately equal distances from one another viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the inner container. This ensures that the force input through the outer container occurs evenly, without distortion of the container construction.
  • the ratio of maximum length extension to maximum width extension is at least 2: 1.
  • the ratio of maximum length extension to maximum width extension is at least 5: 1.
  • the cover wall is supported by the support along the bottom wall along the at least two inner containers, in the longitudinal axis direction, over at least 10% of the length of the outer container.
  • the top wall is supported relative to the bottom wall along the at least two inner containers, in the longitudinal axis direction, over at least 25% of the length of the outer container by the support.
  • the push-on support has a
  • the longitudinally arranged between the at least two inner containers support several separate support elements.
  • the support extends over the entire length of the at least two inner container.
  • the at least two inner containers are cylindrical.
  • the at least two inner containers are suspended at their ends on the side walls of the outer container, so that thermal expansions are taken in the longitudinal direction.
  • the inner container made of stainless steel.
  • the inner containers are surrounded by carbon fibers embedded in a plastic matrix.
  • the inner containers are suspended at their mutual bottoms at end walls of the outer container, so that thermal expansions are taken in the longitudinal direction.
  • the inner containers are fixedly connected at one end to an end wall of the outer container and freely movable at the other end in the longitudinal direction.
  • the outer container consists of thin sheet metal and is wrapped with fiber embedded in a plastic matrix.
  • the support can also be designed so that you the inner container transversely (ie transversely to the longitudinal axis direction), either in the direction of the width of the outer container and / or in the direction of the height of the outer container at least partially off 5 supports or keeps the inner container in these directions at least partially in position.

  • FIG. 8 shows a section according to VIII-Vm in FIG. 7
  • the outer container is summarily denoted by I and the inner containers arranged parallel to each other therein are denoted by 2, 3, and 4.
  • the inner containers are cylindrical tubes, preferably made of stainless steel.
  • the surrounding outer container 1 with distance can thus obtain a flat design. It is essentially a flat cuboid whose side
  • 25 tenilwashen can be rounded. In any case, however, it has two flat wall parts 10, 11.
  • a vacuum for thermal insulation which forms a so-called "superinsulation" together with further measures the gap 5, the flat wall parts 10,
  • the inner containers 2, 3, 4 are already pressed to the outside at atmospheric pressure prevailing in them. If the cryogenic liquid is stored in the inner containers 2, 3, 4 under a higher pressure, the tensile load of the zy- cylindrical walls and the bottoms 7, 8 of the inner container 2, 3, 4 correspondingly larger.
  • supports 12, 13 For receiving the compressive forces acting on the flat wall parts 10, 11 of the outer container 1, these are supported against one another by supports 12, 13. These connect, as seen in Fig. 4, the two flat wall parts 10, 11, wherein they pass between the inner container 2, 3 or 3, 4, preferably without touching them. In Fig.2, the supports 12, 13 individual supports.

  • the modified Ausbowungsforrn of Fig. 5 and 6 differs from it by the fact that the supports 22, 23 extend over the length of the inner container 2, 3, 4 and that the inner container 2, 3, 4 only one hand by means of heat insulating feet 32 on an end wall 33 of the outer container 1 are fixed and freely movable with its other end.
  • the supports 23, 24 are I-shaped profiles, the foot parts 24, 25 bear against the inner walls on the flat walls 10, 11 and the web portions have reinforcing ribs 26 in order to increase their buckling strength.
  • the inner containers 2, 3, 4 are sufficiently removed, they can be provided with a wrapping of carbon fibers 30 embedded in a plastic matrix in order to withstand high internal pressures with the lowest possible weight.
  • the outer container 1 may be made of a very thin sheet metal, if it is also provided with a fiber-reinforced wrapping 31.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show a further possible embodiment of a container according to the invention for a cryogenic liquid.
  • the Container has an outer container 40 with a length L, a width B and a height H.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 differs from other embodiments in that the support 34 has two separate elongate support elements 35 and 36 which are arranged along the longitudinal axes 37 of the inner containers 38, ie in the longitudinal axis direction.
  • Fig. 7 is a section of the support along the plane through the two longitudinal axes 37 of the inner container 38 can be seen.
  • the outer container 40 is supported by the support 34 between its bottom wall 41 and its top wall 42 over more than 50% of its length.
  • the longitudinal extent (along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical inner container) of the support in cross-section is a multiple of the width dimension thereof.
  • the maximum length dimensions or maximum width dimensions of the cross section of the individual support elements, each arranged between two inner containers, are added. Shares of the cross section overlapping in the direction of the longitudinal axis or in the direction of the width (section with plane through the two longitudinal axes 37) of the support elements are taken into account only once in this addition.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show that in the illustrated embodiment, the cumulative extent of the cross-sectional area of the support 34 in the direction of the longitudinal axis is substantially greater than in the direction between the inner containers and at right angles to the longitudinal axis in the direction of the width of the outer container 40.
  • the outer container 40 is shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 only schematically.
