Low temperature liquefied gas storage tank

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6826814
The inner wall of Hitachi's improved liquefied gas storage tank is made up of multi-layer panels, each panel made liquid-tight by bonding a low-temperature-resistant metal sheet (such as aluminum or stainless steel or a synthetic resin film) to both sides of a plywood core consisting of numerous veneers. These veneers are then bonded to the liquid-tight membranes to serve as heat-shock-absorbing layers.
