The system comprises an assembly of uniformly spaced horizontal plates extending parallel to a horizontal closure surface, an outer shell and a thick bottom plate suspended from the horizontal surface by means of spaced suspension members attached to the horizontal surface and to the thick plate respectively. The thick plate supports stacked metallic plates held in spaced relation and protected by a lateral shell which is capable of free expansion at the upper extremity and joined to the thick plate in leak-tight manner. 4 claims, 4 figures.
