Abstract

A cryogenic tank includes a vapor barrier which is provided to abut an inner wall surface of a concrete wall and in which a plurality of panels are welded, and a pressing part which presses the panel toward the inner wall surface of the concrete wall when the panel are welded.

Claims (23)

1. A cryogenic tank comprising:

a vapor barrier which is provided to abut an inner wall surface of a concrete wall, wherein the vapor barrier comprises a plurality of panels welded together;

a pressing part which presses at least one of the panels toward the inner wall surface of the concrete wall when the panels are welded;

a stud bolt which penetrates the at least one of the panels and which is fixed to the concrete wall, and wherein the stud bolt is welded to the vapor barrier;

wherein the pressing part is screwed to the stud bolt.

2. The cryogenic tank according to claim 1 ,

wherein the pressing part comprises a flat plate shape and includes an abutment surface abutting on a surface of the panel opposite to the concrete wall.

3. The cryogenic tank according to claim 2 , wherein when the pressing part is viewed in an axial direction of the stud bolt, the pressing part has a shape in which a circle is notched along parallel lines opposing each other about the axis.

4. The cryogenic tank according to claim 2 , wherein the pressing part is welded to the stud bolt.

5. The cryogenic tank according to claim 3 , wherein the pressing part is welded to the stud bolt.

6. The cryogenic tank according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing part is welded to the panel.

7. The cryogenic tank according to claim 2 , wherein the pressing part is welded to the panel.

8. The cryogenic tank according to claim 3 , wherein the pressing part is welded to the panel.

9. The cryogenic tank according to claim 4 , wherein the pressing part is welded to the panel.

10. The cryogenic tank according to claim 5 , wherein the pressing part is welded to the panel.

11. The cryogenic tank according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing part is joined to the panel by an adhesive.

12. The cryogenic tank according to claim 2 , wherein the pressing part is joined to the panel by an adhesive.

13. The cryogenic tank according to claim 3 , wherein the pressing part is joined to the panel by an adhesive.

14. The cryogenic tank according to claim 4 , wherein the pressing part is joined to the panel by an adhesive.

15. The cryogenic tank according to claim 5 , wherein the pressing part is joined to the panel by an adhesive.

16. The cryogenic tank according to claim 3 , wherein the pressing part is a single flat plate shaped member.

17. The cryogenic tank according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of stud bolts are provided with each having a corresponding pressing part.

18. The cryogenic tank according to claim 17 , wherein at least one stud bolt and at least one pressing part is provided for each panel of the plurality of panels, and each stud bolt is welded to at least one of the panels.
