Description

The invention relates to a storage block for storing a tank for cryogenic liquids, in particular liquefied petroleum gas, LNG, LPG, ethylene, or the like, and a method for its production. The storage block is formed from synthetic resin-based compressed wood. The synthetic resin-based compressed wood is formed from veneers impregnated with a synthetic resin and arranged in a stack. The stack is subsequently compressed at high temperatures to form the synthetic resin-based compressed wood. The storage block forms a bearing side facing the tank for connection to the tank. The invention further relates to a tank with a storage block, a ship with a storage block, and the use of an aerogel for producing a storage block.

Compressed wood is well-known and used in various technical fields. Due to its advantageous electrical properties, it is regularly used as an electrical and thermal insulation material in oil-filled power transformers, rotors of turbogenerators, and similar applications where heavy components must be supported.

Resin-coated wood, which is defined and technically described in DIN EN 61061, is regularly made from veneers, with the veneers usually being obtained by slicing or peeling a log. Accordingly, a distinction is made between sliced veneers and rotary-cut veneers. The veneers are then impregnated, particularly soaked or coated, with a synthetic resin and arranged in a stack. The stack is then compacted or pressed at high temperatures to form the resin-coated wood. The term "high temperatures" here refers in particular to a temperature range of 100 to 300 °C, preferably in the range of 150 °C.

All technical standards listed in the present patent application refer to the version valid on the date relevant for the priority of the present patent application (priority date).

It is also known to use synthetic resin pressed wood to construct bearing blocks for storing tanks for cryogenic liquids. This synthetic resin pressed wood is impregnated with a synthetic resin, so that a sufficiently stable bearing block can be formed from the synthetic resin pressed wood. A tank is usually supported by several bearing blocks or a row of bearings, which can form a fixed or loose bearing for the tank. Due to the good thermal insulation properties of synthetic resin pressed wood, it is well suited for the construction of such bearing blocks. On a bearing side of the bearing block facing the relevant tank, a temperature on the bearing side can, for example, be -160°C or lower if a metal tank is filled with a cryogenic liquid. An underside of the bearing block facing away from the tank or the bearing underside can, for example, simultaneously have a temperature of -30°C to 0°C or higher. The height of the bearing block is therefore dimensioned such that the desired insulation effect is achieved. It is crucial that, especially if the tank is installed in a ship, no components adjacent to the bearing block are cooled below 0°C, as this could lead to brittle fracture of the component or the component must not be cooled below a certain permissible temperature. For example, the elastic limit of steel, especially ship steel, can be significantly altered by cooling below 0°C.

A comparable arrangement of such bearing blocks is known, for example, from the EP 1 945 498 B1 known. However, it has been shown that undesirable cracks can form on a bearing block. This can occur if the bearing block is cooled very quickly on the bearing side as a result of a tank being filled. Due to the good thermal insulation effect of the resin-coated plywood, cooling from the bearing side into the bearing block progresses only very slowly, so that large temperature differences within the bearing block in the area of the bearing side can occur and thus lead to stresses on the bearing side that cause cracks. Any cracks that form can lead to a reduction in the strength of the bearing block in question and even to its destruction. The formation of ice at the cracks can also reduce the insulating effect.

This is available on the Internet under the link https://www.roechling.com/fileadmin/ downloads/Roechling_Industrial/Brochures/EN/Durolight/Cryogenic-in-sulation_materials-EN.pdf The document available at http://www.bgs.gov/documents/bgs/detail.htm discloses a storage block made of synthetic resin-compressed wood, which is used for storing LNG tanks. The storage block has a gap, which in this case, however, runs along a side surface of the storage block adjacent to one of the storage sides of the storage block.

Another storage block for storing a tank is from the DE 10 2014 203 351 B4 However, this document points out that bearing blocks made of resin-compressed wood are problematic.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a bearing block for storing a tank for cryogenic liquids or a tank with a bearing block, a ship with a tank and a method for producing a bearing block, which is improved with regard to a service life.

This object is achieved by a bearing block having the features of claim 1, a bearing block arrangement having the features of claim 19, a tank having the features of claim 20, a ship having the features of claim 21, a method having the features of claim 22 and a use of an aerogel having the features of claim 23.

The storage block according to the invention for storing a tank for cryogenic liquids, in particular liquefied petroleum gas, LNG, LPG, ethylene or the like, in a ship is made of synthetic resin pressed wood, wherein the synthetic resin pressed wood is made of veneers that are impregnated with a synthetic resin and arranged to form a stack, wherein the stack is subsequently compressed at high temperatures to form the synthetic resin pressed wood, wherein the storage block forms a storage side facing the tank for connection to the tank, wherein in the storage side a gap is formed in the synthetic resin pressed wood, which runs substantially orthogonal to the storage side, wherein the gap is filled with an aerogel.

As has been found, the bearing block according to the invention, thanks to the gap formed in the bearing side and filled with aerogel, does not exhibit significantly poorer strength properties compared to a corresponding bearing block without a gap, since the bearing side is essentially subjected to a compressive force. Furthermore, the gap makes it possible to prevent the undesirable formation of cracks in the bearing side region. Since the gap runs through the bearing block in the bearing side region, the bearing side of the bearing block is divided into at least two surface areas. The aerogel located in the gap has particularly good thermal insulation properties and is hydrophobic. At the same time, the aerogel is flexible and can compensate for stresses resulting from thermal expansion in the gap region and for shrinkage of the resin-coated wood. The good thermal insulation properties of the aerogel also make it possible to form the gap comparatively narrow, so that the strength of the bearing block is essentially unaffected, while the resin-coated wood on both sides of the gap is still thermally separated from each other. At the same time, filling the gap with aerogel effectively prevents the penetration of dirt, water, and other contaminants into the gap. This prevents crack formation due to thermal stresses and thus extends the service life of the bearing block.

The gap can be formed from a side surface of the bearing block adjacent to the bearing side to an opposite side surface of the bearing block adjacent to the bearing side. Accordingly, the gap can run continuously from the side surface to the opposite side surface. In principle, however, it is also possible to form the gap only in sections of the bearing side.

The gap can penetrate the bearing block in sections, preferably up to 20%, 35%, 50% or 70% of the height of the bearing block. This means that the gap then does not cut through the bearing block completely, but only partially. The height of the bearing block results from a distance from the bearing side to an underside of the bearing block. The gap is then formed in the bearing block, starting from the bearing side and moving towards the underside. Depending on an expected temperature difference between the bearing side and the underside, the gap can be formed accordingly in relation to the height. This ensures that cracks due to stress do not form in areas further inside the bearing block.

Advantageously, the base of the gap can be designed with a radius. This radius can prevent a notch effect from occurring at the base of the gap. The radius can, for example, correspond to half the width of the gap.

Furthermore, the radius can be formed by a hole whose diameter is larger than the width of the gap. This type of hole can reliably prevent a notch effect at the base of the gap.

The gap can be continuous around the circumference of the bearing block. Accordingly, the gap can extend around the entire circumference of the bearing block, starting from the bearing side, across the adjacent side surface of the bearing block, across a bottom surface to the opposite side surface of the adjacent side surface, and back to the bearing side. The gap does not completely penetrate the bearing block. Cracking due to thermal stresses This can prevent cracks in an external surface of the bearing block. The gap can be formed, for example, by a circumferential saw cut on the bearing block.

The bearing block can be formed from a first block and a second block, whereby the blocks can be firmly connected to one another by means of an adhesive material. In principle, the bearing block can be formed in one piece. By forming the bearing block from the first block and the second block, which are then glued together, it is particularly easy to produce larger bearing blocks. The bearing block can also be formed from a number of blocks > 2, for example 4 or 5 blocks. At the same time, it is possible to glue the aerogel between the first block and the second block. The aerogel can therefore be attached to the gap particularly easily. The blocks can be designed as block halves or also of different sizes.

The gap can run in a common plane with a glue seam or orthogonal relative to a glue seam of the blocks. For example, the gap can be easily formed by creating a recess in the first block and/or second block adjacent to the glue seam or in its extension. The aerogel can be inserted into the recess and then fills the gap after the first block has been glued to the second block at the glue seam. Alternatively, the glue seam can run orthogonal relative to the gap. For example, at a base of the gap, so that the first block and the second block are connected to each other via a third block. A synthetic resin or glue can be used as an adhesive.

The bearing block can have at least one connecting means made of synthetic resin-plywood, which connects the first block to the second block, wherein the connecting means can bridge the gap. The connecting means can, for example, be a projection formed within the bearing block, which then forms the gap. The connecting means thus bridges the gap and connects a first block and a second block of the bearing block to one another. Alternatively, the connecting means can also be a plate made of synthetic resin-plywood, which is arranged on the first block and the second block or is glued to them.

The connecting means can be an extension that is molded onto or inserted into the first block and/or the second block. The extension can be formed through one or both of the blocks and bridge the gap. Alternatively, a recess can be formed in one or both blocks, for example, by milling, into which the extension is inserted. The extension can be bonded to the block(s) using synthetic resin.

The bearing block can have a plurality of connecting means, wherein the connecting means can be a bolt or a rod. For example, four connecting means arranged symmetrically relative to one another can be arranged between the blocks. The connecting means can be designed in the manner of a bolt or a rod and span the gap. In principle, the connecting means can have any cross-section, with a round or square cross-section being particularly easy to form. If the connecting means is a bolt, a bore can be formed in each of the first block and the second block by milling, into which bore the connecting means is inserted and bonded using synthetic resin. In addition to the connecting means, round or square projections or plates can be provided which surround the connecting means and define the width of the gap. Such a plate can be designed independently of the connecting means or can be molded onto it in the manner of a collar.

The ratio of the width of the gap to the thickness of the blocks can be 1:30 to 1:50, with the thickness of the blocks preferably being the same. The gap is then comparatively narrow in relation to the thickness of the blocks, so that the strength of the bearing block is hardly affected by the gap. The width of the gap can be determined, for example, by connecting means. It is also possible to define the width of the gap by inserting plates or projections into the gap. If the thickness of the blocks is the same, it is possible to produce the blocks in large quantities and cost-effectively. If a bearing block is formed from two blocks of this type, the gap always runs through the center of the bearing block. In principle, it is also possible to arrange a number of blocks in such a way that gaps are formed that always run at the same distance from one another through the bearing block.

The gap can be completely filled with aerogel. This allows the bearing block to form a continuous, sealed surface even in the gap area. Penetration of dirt or water into the gap is then no longer possible.

The veneer can be maple, birch or beech, preferably European beech (Fagus silvatica). Compared to spruce or pine, for example, European beech has Due to its natural homogeneity and ideal cell structure, it has advantageous mechanical and electrical properties. However, it is also possible to use spruce, pine, or even hornbeam as wood.

The resin-coated laminated wood can be completely impregnated with the resin, whereby the resin can be a phenolic resin. The resin can be applied to the veneers before compaction or pressing for bonding. The resin can have a viscosity that allows essentially complete penetration of the resin into the veneers, thus enabling complete impregnation of the resin-coated laminated wood with the resin. For example, complete impregnation can be achieved by vacuum impregnation. In particular, a phenolic resin or a phenol-formaldehyde resole resin glue can be used, whereby the resin-coated laminated wood or veneers can be glued or bonded for optimal protection against delamination.

Advantageously, the resin-coated wood can contain at least 25% phenolic resin by weight. The phenolic resin is formed by the curing of the phenolic resin in the resin-coated wood. With this proportion of phenolic resin, the resin-coated wood can be formed with strength properties sufficient for use as a bearing block. Water absorption by the resin-coated wood can be essentially eliminated.

One surface of the bearing block can be coated with synthetic resin. Preferably, the entire bearing block or its surface can be coated with synthetic resin. The bearing block can then be made largely hydrophobic, since the coating of the surface with synthetic resin prevents the penetration of water or liquid into the resin-coated particle board. The surface of the resin-coated particle board and/or the veneers can be processed, in particular sanded and/or planed. This ensures not only the most precise tolerances when using resin-coated particle board as a material for a bearing block, but also particularly optimal and rapid absorption of synthetic resin. The surface of the bearing block can also be uncoated if the bearing block is completely impregnated with synthetic resin.

The veneers can be arranged with a parallel, crosswise, or tangential grain direction to the stack, whereby the grain direction can run transversely, orthogonally, or preferably parallel relative to the gap. A tangential grain direction is particularly advantageous for resin-coated laminated wood with a block-shaped geometry, as it can optimize the required bending strength. The choice of a specific grain direction or layer direction also influences the mechanical and thermal insulation properties of the resin-coated laminated wood. Thermal expansion of the resin-coated laminated wood, for example, is many times lower parallel to a lamination direction or grain direction than transverse to a lamination direction or grain direction. Preferably, a lamination direction or grain direction therefore runs orthogonally or parallel to the bearing side. The grain direction can run vertically and parallel relative to the gap, or vertically and orthogonally relative to the gap. Thus, it is possible to adapt these properties of the resin-coated laminated wood to the structural conditions or requirements by selecting a specific grain direction.

Furthermore, the resin-filled compressed lumber can be formed with a density of 0.7 to 0.9 g/cm ³ , 0.9 to 1.1 g/cm ³ , 1.2 to 1.35 g/cm ³ , or 1.35 to 1.4 g/cm ³ . A specific density can be achieved by selecting a specific compression level of the resin-filled compressed lumber. The compression level also influences the mechanical and thermal insulation properties of the resin-filled compressed lumber. The density can preferably be 1.4 g/cm ³ .

The bearing block assembly may be formed from at least two bearing blocks, wherein the bearing blocks may be firmly connected to one another by means of a synthetic resin. The bearing block assembly may be designed such that it consists of a plurality of bearing blocks that are bonded together to form an adhesive gap. The adhesive gap may be filled with the synthetic resin in such a way that the penetration of dirt or water into the adhesive gap is prevented and a strong mechanical connection is formed between the bearing blocks.

The tank according to the invention comprises at least one bearing block according to the invention.

The tank can have an approximately cylindrical shape or a shape close to a spherical shape (Type A, B, or C). The tank can comprise a plurality of differently shaped bearing blocks that enable the storage or positioning of the tank. Furthermore, the tank can be provided with additional insulation, for example, polyurethane foam. The tank can be designed as a fuel tank, storage tank, or transport tank.

The ship according to the invention has at least one tank according to the invention. The ship can also have a plurality of tanks, each with bearing blocks. The bearing block(s) can be fixed to the tank and/or a structural element of the ship using a casting resin. The casting resin can be used in the form of a filling compound, which serves to connect bearing blocks to one another, to connect bearing blocks to the tank, and/or to connect bearing blocks to structural elements of the ship, in a cargo hold of the ship, to a deck of the ship, and/or to the bottom or side walls of a ship's hull. Depending on the design of the bearing block, it can be designed as a fixed bearing or a floating bearing. It is also possible for a number of bearing blocks to be distributed in a semicircle around a tank or beneath the tank as individual large-format bearing blocks.
