Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of a layer of a material as a thermal insulation barrier on an interior surface of wall of a containment system for a fluid, wherein the cryogenic fluid is one of liquid natural gas (LNG), liquefied nitrogen, liquefied propane, liquefied oxygen, liquefied carbon dioxide and liquefied hydrogen, the material having a contact angle which is at least 150°.
Claims18
A thermal insulation barrier for an interior surface of a wall of a containment system for a cryogenic fluid, comprising a layer of a material, wherein the cryogenic fluid is one of liquid natural gas (LNG), liquefied nitrogen, liquefied propane, liquefied oxygen, liquefied carbon dioxide and liquefied hydrogen, and wherein the layer of the material has a contact angle which is at least 150° for the cryogenic fluid.
A containment system for a cryogenic fluid comprising a wall defining an interior space for containing the fluid, the wall having an interior surface facing the interior space, wherein at least a portion of the interior surface is provided with a layer of material having a contact angle which is at least 150° for a cryogenic fluid, wherein the cryogenic fluid is one of liquid natural gas (LNG), liquefied nitrogen, liquefied propane, liquefied oxygen, liquefied carbon dioxide and liquefied hydrogen.
