Isolation of pressure vessels
Isolation of pressure vessels
(OP)
Can anyone brief me about the Isolation of pressure vessels?.,
Why Isolation of Pressure vessels are required when it operates at cryogenic temperatures?
Hope someone helps to understand the basics.

RE: Isolation of pressure vessels
Why would you not want to isolate a vessel ?
RE: Isolation of pressure vessels
We got an inquiry for the vessel which needs to be Isolated from the concrete foundation, since the Design temperature of the vessel is -100 deg.cel, Ambient temperature is -2.7 deg.cel
From my understandings, I believe this isolation is necessary otherwise it negative temperature of the vessel would hit the concrete that will lead to reduction in its compressive strength and other related factors.
I am not quite strong in the basics, Can you please advise about the allowable temperature which is required at the base of the saddle to protect the concrete foundation?
RE: Isolation of pressure vessels
Is it a vertical vessel ? If so is there a significant skirt height ?
Have you looked at thermal conduction to the concrete from the vessel itself ?
RE: Isolation of pressure vessels
We are yet to receive the drawings on this aspect.
RE: Isolation of pressure vessels
So far as insulating the vessel foundation from thermal effects is concerned, there are many commerically available insulation products that would provide satisfctory load bearing and insulation properties. Try Google.

This is a case of insulation.
