Abstract
A cryogenic tank with at least one enclosure containing a liquid phase and having at least one anti-sloshing structure formed from walls and positioned inside the enclosure and configured to compartmentalize the enclosure and at least one connection system connecting the anti-sloshing structure and the enclosure. Also an aircraft with at least one such tank.
Claims20
A cryogenic tank comprising:
- at least one enclosure containing a liquid phase and having a first orthogonal direction, a second orthogonal direction, and a third orthogonal direction, the third orthogonal direction being vertical;
- at least one anti-sloshing structure positioned inside the at least one enclosure, the at least one anti-sloshing structure comprising a first plurality of walls and a second plurality of walls arranged so as to compartmentalize the at least one enclosure;
- at least one connection system connecting the at least one anti-sloshing structure and the at least one enclosure;
- and
- at least one piece of equipment dedicated to a gaseous phase,
- wherein the anti-sloshing structure comprises at least one partition which, together with the at least one enclosure, defines an upper region in which the at least one piece of equipment is positioned,
- the at least one partition comprising a central portion substantially perpendicular to the third orthogonal direction, and a first wing and a second wing each located a side of the central portion and form an angle of between 5° and 45° with a plane passing through the central portion.

A cryogenic tank comprising:
- an enclosure containing a liquid phase and having a first orthogonal direction, a second orthogonal direction, and a third orthogonal direction, the third orthogonal direction being vertical;
- an anti-sloshing structure positioned inside the enclosure, the anti-sloshing structure comprising a first plurality of walls and a second plurality of walls arranged in such a manner as to compartmentalize the enclosure;
- and
- a connection system connecting the anti-sloshing structure and the enclosure,
- wherein each wall of the first plurality of walls is symmetrical with respect to a vertical median plane, comprises lateral edges positioned on either side of the vertical median plane, and has a transverse profile which, at the vertical median plane, comprises a central region offset downward relative to the lateral edges.
