DESIGN AND ANALYSES OF THE INSULATED CRYOGENIC VESSEL FOR TRANSPORT

  • Unique Paper ID: 146362
  • PageNo: 313-317
  • Abstract:
  • The Cryogenic vessels is small tank have been used for transport the large quantity of cryogenic fluid for example methane, by reduces its volume at atmospheric pressure and transport through road, train or boat. It is also used as storage tank for cryogenic fluid in gas plant. These vessels are insulated by vacuum or by special insulation material like foam to avoid the surrounding effects. This work included study, design and analyze a large transportable vacuum insulated cryogenic vessel that has been attached to a truck in order to keep, maintain and transport by road liquid methane at a temperature of -162 °C. In this work CAD software NX 10 is used to visualize the models for the chosen designs. In addition, the Finite element module Ansys is used to obtain results of mechanical analyses like von Mises stresses within margins. Every part of vessel has been designed and analyzed with good corrosion resistance material. It is conclude that the thickness of the outer jacket does not have higher than that of the inner vessel. It was possible to economize on material. The results of each part shows design is safe and suggested.
