Abstract
An apparatus comprises a vessel, a first vertical support, a second vertical support, and a series of insulating panels. The first vertical support and the second vertical support are fixated to the vessel such that the first vertical support is spaced apart from the second vertical support. Each of the insulating panels in the series of insulating panels is supported between the first vertical support and the second vertical support. Moreover, each insulating panel in the series of insulating panels slidably overlaps one or more adjacent insulating panels in the series of insulating panels.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a vessel;
- a first vertical support, the first vertical support fixated to the vessel;
- a second vertical support, the second vertical support fixated to the vessel apart from the first vertical support;
- and
- a series of insulating panels, each insulating panel in the series of insulating panels supported between the first vertical support and the second vertical support such that each insulating panel in the series of insulating panels slidably overlaps one or more adjacent insulating panels in the series of insulating panels.
A method of insulating a vessel, the method comprising the steps of:
- fixating a first vertical support to the vessel;
- fixating a second vertical support to the vessel apart from the first vertical support;
- and
- installing a series of insulating panels, each insulating panel in the series of insulating panels supported between the first vertical support and the second vertical support such that each insulating panel in the series of insulating panels slidably overlaps one or more adjacent insulating panels in the series of insulating panels.
An external insulation system for use with a vessel, the external insulation system comprising:
- a first vertical support, the first vertical support adapted to be fixated to the vessel;
- a second vertical support, the second vertical support adapted to be fixated to the vessel apart from the first vertical support;
- a series of insulating panels, each insulating panel in the series of insulating panels adapted to be supported between the first vertical support and the second vertical support such that each insulating panel in the series of insulating panels slidably overlaps one or more adjacent insulating panels in the series of insulating panels.
