Abstract
A cryogenic liquid storage tank includes an inner tank, an outer tank, a supporter, and a Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI). The inner tank stores cryogenic liquid and includes hemispherical-form inner side plates at opposite ends thereof and an insertion groove extending inside the inner tank at a center of one of the inner side plates. The outer tank covers an exterior of the inner tank and includes hemispherical-form outer side plates formed at opposite ends thereof. The supporter is fixed to the outer tank and is inserted into the insertion groove to support the inner tank. The MLI is disposed in a contact area of the insertion groove and the supporter to minimize a thermal access and to enhance a heat insulation property.
