    Technical area
    The invention relates to the field of tanks, sealed and thermally insulating, with membranes for the storage and / or transport of fluid, such as a cryogenic fluid.
    Sealed and thermally insulating tanks with membranes are used in particular for the storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is stored, at atmospheric pressure, at around -162 ° C. These tanks can be installed on the ground or on a floating structure. In the case of a floating structure, the tank may be intended for the transport of liquefied natural gas or to receive liquefied natural gas serving as fuel for the propulsion of the floating structure.
    The invention relates more particularly to a corner structure of such a tank as well as its assembly process.
    Technological background
    The patent application FR2691520 describes a sealed and thermally insulating tank, integrated into a support structure, such as the double hull of a ship. Each wall of the tank has a multilayer structure having successively, in the thickness direction, from the outside towards the inside of the tank, a secondary thermally insulating barrier retained at the carrying structure, a secondary sealing membrane, a primary thermally insulating barrier and a primary sealing membrane intended to be in contact with the fluid contained in the tank.
    The corner zones of the tank are made from preassembled corner structures, in the form of a dihedral. Each pre-assembled corner structure includes:
    - two bevelled insulating panels which are glued together and form the corner of the secondary thermally insulating barrier;
    - a flexible waterproof strip resting on the insulating panels of the secondary thermally insulating barrier and forming the angle of the secondary sealing membrane;
    - a plurality of insulating blocks fixed to the insulating panels of the secondary thermally insulating barrier and forming the angle of the primary thermally insulating barrier; and
    - metal angles fixed on the insulating blocks and forming the corner of the primary thermally insulating barrier.
    Such corner structures do not make it possible to compensate for the dimensional tolerances for manufacturing the secondary thermally insulating barrier of each wall, due in particular to the tolerance margins which are allowed in the manufacture of the supporting structure. However, by way of example, the manufacturing tolerances of the support structure are likely to reach several centimeters.

    Detailed description of embodiments
    By convention, the terms "external" and "internal" are used to define the relative position of one element with respect to another, by reference to the interior and exterior of the tank.
    In connection with FIG. 1, the multilayer structure of a sealed and thermally insulating tank for liquefied natural gas storage is described. Each wall of the tank comprises, from the outside towards the inside of the tank, a secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 comprising insulating panels 2 juxtaposed and anchored to a support structure 3 by secondary retaining members, a sealing membrane secondary 4 carried by the insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1, a primary thermally insulating barrier 5 comprising insulating panels 6 juxtaposed and anchored to the insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 by primary retaining members and a membrane primary sealing 7 carried by the insulating panels 6 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 and intended to be in contact with the liquefied natural gas contained in the tank.
    The supporting structure 3 can in particular be formed from self-supporting metal sheets or, more generally, from any type of rigid partition having suitable mechanical properties. The supporting structure 3 can in particular be formed by the hull or double hull of a ship. The supporting structure 3 comprises a plurality of walls defining the general shape of the tank, usually a polyhedral shape.
    The secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 comprises a plurality of insulating panels 2 anchored to the support structure 3 by means of resin cords, not shown, and studs, not shown, welded to the support structure 3. Advantageously, the insulating panels 2 each comprise a layer of insulating polymer foam 10 sandwiched between an internal plate 11 and an external plate 12. The plates, internal 11 and external 12, are, for example, plywood sheets glued to said layer of polymer foam insulating 10. The insulating polymer foam 10 may in particular be a polyurethane-based foam. The insulating polymer foam 10 is advantageously reinforced by glass fibers helping to reduce its coefficient of thermal contraction.
    In a flat area of a wall, as shown in FIG. 1, the insulating panels 2 have substantially the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and are juxtaposed in parallel rows and separated from each other by interstices 8 guaranteeing a functional play of mounting. The interstices 8 are filled with a heat-insulating lining 9 such as glass wool, sound rock or flexible synthetic foam with open cells for example.
    In order to secure the insulating panels 2 to studs welded to the support structure 3, the insulating panels 2 are provided with cylindrical wells 19 which pass through the insulating panels 2 over their entire thickness and are arranged at least at each of the four corners of the insulating panels 2. The cylindrical wells 19 have a change in section, not illustrated, defining bearing surfaces for nuts cooperating with the threaded ends of the studs.
    The internal plate 11 of the insulating panels 2 has two series of grooves 13, 14, perpendicular to each other, so as to form a network of grooves. Each of the series of grooves 13, 14 is parallel to two opposite sides of the insulating panels 2. The grooves 13, 14 are intended for the reception of corrugations 15, projecting towards the outside of the tank, formed on the metal sheets 16 of the secondary waterproofing membrane 4.
    Furthermore, its internal plate 11 is equipped with metal plates 17 for anchoring the edge of the metal sheets 16 of the secondary sealing membrane 4 on the insulating panels 2. The metal plates 17 extend in two perpendicular directions which are each parallel to two opposite sides of the insulating panels 2. The metal plates 17 are fixed to the internal plate 11 of the insulating panels 2, by screws, rivets or staples, for example. The metal plates 17 are placed in recesses in the internal plates 11 so that the internal surface of each metal plate 17 is flush with the internal surface of one of the internal plates 11.
    Each internal plate 11 is also equipped with threaded studs 18 projecting towards the inside of the tank, and intended to secure the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 to its insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1.
    Furthermore, the internal plate 11 has along its edges, in each interval between two successive grooves 13, 14, a recess 20 receiving bridging plates 21 which are each arranged astride two adjacent insulating panels 2, spanning the 'gap 8 between the insulating panels 2. Each bridging plate 21 is fixed against each of the two adjacent insulating panels 2, by gluing and / or stapling, so as to oppose their mutual spacing. The bridging plates 21 have a rectangular parallelepiped shape and are for example made of a plywood plate. The external face of the bridging plates 21 is fixed against the bottom of the recesses 20.
    The secondary sealing membrane 4 comprises a plurality of corrugated metal sheets 16 each having a substantially rectangular shape. The metal sheets 16 are arranged offset from the insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 so that each of said metal sheets 16 extends jointly over four adjacent insulating panels 2. Each metal sheet 16 has a first series of parallel corrugations 15 extending in a first direction and a second series of parallel corrugations 15 extending in a second direction. The directions of the wave series are perpendicular. Each of the series of corrugations 15 is parallel to two opposite edges of the metal sheet 16. The corrugations 15 project towards the outside of the tank, that is to say in the direction of the support structure 3. The corrugations 15 metal sheets 16 are housed in the grooves 13, 14 formed in the internal plate 11 of the insulating panels 2. The adjacent metal sheets 16 are welded together with overlap. The anchoring of the metal sheets 16 on the metal plates 17 is carried out by tack welds.
    The metal sheets 16 have, along their longitudinal edges and at their four corners, cutouts allowing the passage of the studs 18 intended to secure the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 to the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1. The metal sheets 16 are, for example, made of Invar®: that is to say an alloy of iron and nickel whose coefficient of expansion is typically between 1.2.10 ' 6 and 2.10' 6 K ' 1 , or in an alloy of iron with a high manganese content, the expansion coefficient of which is typically around 7.10 ' 6 K' 1 . Alternatively, its metal sheets 16 can also be made of stainless steel or aluminum.
    The primary thermally insulating barrier 5 comprises a plurality of insulating panels 6 of rectangular parallelepiped shape. In the embodiment shown, the insulating panels 6 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 have dimensions equal to the dimensions of an insulating panel 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1, except for their thickness which is less than that of the insulating panel 2. The insulating panels 6 are here offset with respect to the insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 so that each insulating panel 6 extends over four insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1.
    In other embodiments, the dimensions of the insulating panels 6 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 are different from those of insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1. In other embodiments, the insulating panels 6 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 and / or its insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 have a substantially rectangular rectangular shape whose internal and external faces are squares.
    The insulating panels 6 have a structure similar to that of the insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1, namely a sandwich structure consisting of a layer of insulating polymer foam sandwiched between two rigid plates, for example of plywood.
    The internal plate of an insulating panel 6 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 is equipped with metal plates 22 for anchoring the metal sheets 23 of the primary sealing membrane 7. The metal plates 22 extend in two perpendicular directions which are each parallel to two opposite edges of the insulating panels 6. The metal plates 22 are fixed in recesses made in the internal plate of the insulating panels 6 and fixed thereto, by screws, rivets or staples or by gluing for example.
    The fixing of the insulating panels 6 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 10 5 to the insulating panels 2 of its secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 is ensured by means of the studs 18. To do this, each insulating panel 6 comprises a plurality of cutouts 24 along from its edges and at its corners, inside which extends a stud 18. The outer plate of the insulating panels 6 extends beyond the cutouts 24 so as to form a bearing surface for a retaining 25 which has a threaded bore threaded on each stud 18. The retaining member 25 has tabs housed inside the cutouts 24 and coming to bear against the portion of the external plate projecting inside the cutout 24 Thus, the external plate of each insulating panel 6 is sandwiched between a tab of the retaining member 25 and an insulating panel 2 of its secondary thermally insulating barrier 1, which thus ensures the fixing of each insulating panel 6 on the insulating panels 2 which it overlaps.
    The primary thermally insulating barrier 5 comprises a plurality of closure plates 26 making it possible to complete the support surface of the primary sealing membrane 7 at the cutouts 24.
    The primary sealing membrane 7 is obtained by assembling a plurality of metal sheets 23. Each metal sheet 23 has two series of parallel corrugations which are perpendicular to each other. The corrugations protrude towards the inside of the tank. The metal sheets 23 are, for example, made of stainless steel or aluminum.
    In connection with Figures 2 to 5, we will describe below a corner structure arranged at the intersection between a first and a second wall 27, 28 of the tank. The support structure of the first wall 27 and that of the second wall 28 meet at an edge 92. The angle formed between its support structure of the first wall 27 and that of the second wall 28 is approximately 90 °. in the embodiment shown. The angle can however have any other value, for example of the order of 135 °.
    The corner structure comprises two insulating panels 29, 30 which are respectively disposed against the support structure 3 of its first wall 27 and of the second wall 28 and a corner insulating element 31, shown in FIG. 2, which is arranged in the angle between the two insulating panels 29, 30.
    The two insulating panels 29, 30 have the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. Each of the insulating panels 29, 30 has a first face 93 which is parallel to the intersection 92 and which is arranged opposite the corner insulating element 31 as well as a second face 94 opposite to said first face 93. The corner insulating element 31 also has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, the two opposite lateral faces of which are square. The corner insulating element 31 is for example made of polymer foam, glass wool or rock wool for example.
    The insulating panels 29, 30 have a sandwich structure identical to that of the other insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1, that is to say comprising a layer of insulating polymer foam 32 sandwiched between an internal plate 33 and an external plate 34.
    In connection with FIG. 4, it can be seen that the internal plate 33 of the insulating panels 29, 30 has a network of perpendicular grooves 35. Furthermore, the internal plate 33 of the insulating panels 29, 30 comprises a plurality of metal plates 36, 37, 38. The metal plates 36, 37, 38 of each insulating panel 29, 30 extend in three directions, namely two directions parallel to the edge 92 between its two walls 27, 28 and a third direction perpendicular to the other two. The metal plates 36, 37, 38 are placed in recesses formed in the internal plates 33 of the insulating panels 29, 30 and fixed thereto, by screws, rivets or staples, for example.
    The metal plates 36, 37, 38 are intended for anchoring the edge of the metal sheets 16, 43 of the secondary sealing membrane 4 and for anchoring metal angles 39 forming the secondary sealing membrane 4 of the structure angle.
    The metal plates 38 Shape the edge of the insulating panels 29, 30 which is adjacent to the edge 92 between the two walls 27, 28. Each metal plate
    38 is disposed in an interval between two grooves 35 orthogonal to the edge 92. Each metal angle 39 has two wings 40, 41 which are respectively parallel to one and to the other of the two adjacent walls 27, 28. Each metal angle 39 has a corrugation 42 extending from one end to the other of the metal angle 39 along its two wings 40, 41 so as to allow a deformation of the metal angle 39 in a direction parallel to the edge 92. The metal angles 39 are welded to overlap on two sets of first metal sheets 43 which extend respectively on either side of the metal angles and parallel to one and the other of the two walls 27, 28 adjacent (In FIG. 4, only one of two sets of first metal sheets 43 is shown). The metal angles 39 are also welded together overlapping Se along their lateral edges. The metal angles 39 are advantageously made of a material identical to that of the other metal sheets 16 of the secondary sealing membrane 4.
    The two sets of first metal sheets 43 extend respectively parallel to one and to the other of the supporting structures 3 of the two adjacent walls 27, 28. Each of the first metal sheets 43 is disposed astride two adjacent first insulating panels 29 or 30 resting against the support structure 4 of the same wall 27, 28 and is anchored on each of them by being welded by its edges to the plates metal 36, 37. The first metal sheets
    43 are welded to overlap along their lateral edges. The first metal sheets 43 each have a single corrugation 44 extending in a direction parallel to the intersection between the two walls 27, 28 and a plurality of corrugations 45 perpendicular to said corrugation 44 and each extending in the extension of the corrugation 42 of one of the metal angles 39. The corrugations 44, 45 of the first metal sheets 43 are received in the grooves 35. The edge 58 of each of the first metal sheets 43 on which is welded overlapping the metal angles 39 presents a jogglinage, that is to say a uneven part thanks to which the metal angles 39 come to overcome them.
    According to one embodiment, the dimension, in its direction orthogonal to the edge 92, of each wing 40, 41 of the metal angles 39 is adjusted as a function of an in-situ measurement of the support structure 3 so as to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the supporting structure, as described below. According to another embodiment, the jogglined edge 58 has a dimension in a direction orthogonal to the intersection between the two walls which is able to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the support structure 3. The width of the jogglining is for example of around 80 mm.
    Furthermore, standard metal sheets, not shown in FIG. 10 4, are arranged astride two insulating panels 29 or 30 of the corner structure and two adjacent insulating panels 6 and are further anchored on the metal plates 22 , 36.
    The internal plate 33 of the insulating panels 29, 30 is also fitted with anchoring plates 46 intended to secure the insulating blocks 47, 48 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 of the corner structure against its insulating panels 29, 30 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 of the corner structure. The anchoring plates 46 are fixed in a recess in the internal plate 33, for example by screwing, stapling and / or gluing. The anchor plates 46 each have a threaded bore. Furthermore, the first metal sheets 43 of the secondary sealing membrane 4 have orifices through each of which passes a cap nut 61, shown in FIG. 4. The cap nut 61 has on its outer periphery a thread cooperating with the threaded bore formed in one of the anchoring plates 46. The cap nut 61 also comprises a collar making it possible to sandwich one of the first metal sheets 43 between said collar and the anchoring plate 46. Each flange is welded to the first metal sheet 43 at the periphery of the orifice in order to seal the secondary sealing membrane 4. Furthermore, each cap nut 61 has an internal threaded bore intended to receive a stud 49 , shown in Figures 2, 3 and 5, intended to secure an insulating block 47, 48 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 of the corner structure.
    As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5, the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 of the corner structure comprises insulating blocks 47, 48. Each insulating block 47, 48 has a shape of a rectangular parallelepiped and has a first face 96 in look of the other adjacent wall and a second face 97 opposite the first face 96. The insulating blocks 47, 48 are preassembled in pairs, one of which rests against one of the first metal sheets 43 of the first wall 27 and is anchored to one of the insulating panels 29 fixed against the support structure 3 of the first wall 27 while the other rests against one of the first metal sheets 43 of the second wall 28 and is anchored to one of the insulating panels 30 fixed against the supporting structure 3 of the second wall 28. The insulating blocks 47, 48 have a composite structure and each comprise a layer of polymer foam 62 sandwiched between two plates. ues, internal 50 and external 51, of plywood, glued to said layer of polymer foam 62.
    The insulating blocks 47, 48 have an internal face against which an angle plate 52 rests and an external face resting against one of the first metal sheets 43. The angle plates 52 are metal angle plates, for example, made of stainless steel. The angles 52 have two wings 53, 54 resting respectively against the internal face of one and the other of the insulating blocks 47, 48 of a pair of insulating blocks. Each wing 53, 54 of an angle 52 has studs, not illustrated, ensuring the fixing of the angle 52 to the insulating blocks 47, 48. The studs protrude towards the inside of its tank and pass through formed orifices. in the internal plate 50 of the insulating blocks 47, 48. The orifices communicate with cylindrical wells of larger diameter opening onto the external face of the insulating blocks 47, 48. Nuts screwed onto the studs bear against the internal plate 50 of the blocks insulators 47, 48 and thus secure the angle 52 to said insulating blocks 47, 48. Each angle 52 thus makes it possible to connect the insulating blocks 47, 48 in pairs so as to form pre-assembled modules.
    A corner connector made of insulating material 55, such as a polymer foam, is placed between the first faces 96 of the two insulating blocks 47, 48 and thus makes it possible to ensure continuity of the thermal insulation at the level of the corner. of the tank. In addition, joint insulating elements, not shown, are inserted between two pairs of adjacent insulating blocks 47, 48 so as to ensure continuity of the thermal insulation.
    The external plate 51 of each of the insulating blocks 47, 48 has lateral edges which extend laterally on either side of the layer of polymer foam 62 and of the internal plate 50 so as to form a bearing surface for an organ. retaining device which retains the internal plate 50 against one of the first metal sheets 43. In the embodiment of FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, the retaining member consists of a support plate 56 which has an orifice through which one of the studs 49 passes. A nut 57 is screwed onto the threaded end of the stud 49 so that the support plate 56 comes to bear against the lateral edges of the external plates 51 of two adjacent insulating blocks 47, 48 so as to sandwich the external plates 51 of the two insulating blocks 47, 48 adjacent against one of the first metal plates 43 of its secondary sealing membrane 4. The insulating blocks 47, 48 are thus anchored s on the insulating panels 29, 30 by anchoring means which allow a plurality of positions of the insulating blocks 47, 48 relative to the insulating panels 29, 30, in a direction orthogonal to the edge 92. According to one embodiment optional, a set of Belleville washers is threaded on each of the studs 49 and is interposed between one of the nuts 57 and the support plate 56 which ensures elastic anchoring of the insulating blocks 47, 48 on the insulating panels 29, 30.
    As shown in FIG. 6, the metal sheets 23 of the primary sealing membrane 7 which border the corner area are welded along their edge directed towards the intersection of the tank on the angles 52.
    Furthermore, the primary sealing membrane 7 has a plurality of metallic corner pieces 86, which are each welded astride on two adjacent angles 52. The corner pieces 86 are made of a material identical to that of the other metal sheets 23 of its primary sealing membrane 1. Each corner piece 86 has two wings which are respectively parallel to one and to the other. load-bearing structures 3 of the two adjacent walls 27, 28. Each corner piece 86 has a corrugation 87 extending from one end to the other of the corner piece 86 along the two wings so as to allow a deformation of the corner piece 86 in a parallel direction. at the intersection of the walls. The corrugation 87 of each of the corner pieces 86 extends in the extension of one of the directions of the corrugations of the primary sealing membrane 7 so as to ensure continuity of the corrugation network of the membrane of primary seal 7 at the corner of the tank. The corner pieces 86 are also welded overlapping onto the metal sheets 23 of the primary sealing membrane 7.
    The edge of each of the corner pieces 86 which is welded overlapping to the metal sheets 23 of the primary sealing membrane 7 has a jogglage, that is to say a uneven part thanks to which said corner pieces 86 surmount the metal sheets 23.
    According to one embodiment, the size of the metal sheets 23 which are welded overlapping to the angles 52, in the direction orthogonal to the edge 92, is adjusted as a function of an in situ measurement of the supporting structure 4, such as described below, so as to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the support structure 3.
    According to another embodiment, the joggled edge has a dimension in a direction orthogonal to the edge 92 which is able to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of its supporting structure 3. The width of the jogglining is for example of the order of 80 mm.
    The assembly of the walls of a tank as described above is described below, focusing more particularly on the method of assembling a corner structure.
    First, we define the position of the studs, intended for anchoring the insulating panels 2 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 on the support structure 3, relative to a reference point of each of the walls 27, 28 , this reference point being for example a corner of the wall 27, 28 or its center. Said studs are then welded to the support structure 3 in the position which has been previously determined.
    At each corner structure, a setpoint is determined for the width of each of the insulating panels 29, 30 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1, that is to say the dimension between the face 93 of each of the insulating panels 29, 30 which runs along the edge 92 and the opposite face 94. This instruction is established on the basis of an in-situ measurement of its supporting structure 4 which is representative of the space between the edge 92, and the insulating panel 2 of the flat area which is adjacent to the destination of said insulating panel 29, 30 whose width setpoint must be determined.
    By way of example, the width setpoint L of an insulating panel 29 can be determined by the following relationship:
    L = x-i-e;
    with:
    x: the measurement representative of the space between the edge 92 and the insulating panel 2 adjacent to the destination location of the insulating panel 29;
    i: the set width of a gap between said insulating panel 29 and the adjacent insulating panel 2; and e: the thickness of the insulating panels 29, 30.
    This setpoint can also be established as a function of a measurement of the distance between the edge 92 and the position of the studs intended for fixing the insulating panel 2 which is adjacent to the insulating panel 29, 30 of which the setpoint must be determined; or even a measurement of the dimension of the supporting structure 3 of one of the walls 27, 28 in the direction orthogonal to the intersection between the two walls 27, 28.
    As a result, the insulating panels 29, 30 are cut so as to adjust their width to its set point set out above. To do this, the insulating panels 29, 30 are cut in their longitudinal direction, ie along their face 93 intended to be disposed ie along the edge 92, perpendicular to their faces, internal 95 and external. The cutting of one of the insulating panels 29 is represented by a dotted line in FIG. 3. The insulating panels 29, 30 can be cut in situ in the tank or advantageously outside the tank in order to limit the poîiution of the tank with cutting residues. Thus, the width of the insulating panels 29, 30 is adapted in order to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the supporting structure 3.
    Subsequently, the insulating panels 29, 30 are fixed to the supporting structure 30 then the metal angles 39 and the first metal sheets 43 are fixed to said insulation panels 29, 30. As mentioned above, the metal angles 39 are previously dimensioned as a function of the in-situ measurement of the aforementioned supporting structure 4.
    The insulating blocks 47, 48 are then fixed to their respective insulating panels 29, 30 by means of anchoring means allowing a wide range of relative positioning of the insulating blocks 47, 48 relative to their respective insulating bioc 29, 30, as described above.
    Furthermore, advantageously, the insulating blocks 47, 48 are also previously cut in order to adjust their dimension in the direction orthogonal to the intersection and thus compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the support structure 3 at the thermally insulating barrier. primary 5. The setpoint for the dimension of the insulating blocks 47, 48 in the direction orthogonal to the intersection between the supporting structure of the two walls 27, 28 is advantageously established as a function of the aforementioned in-situ measurement, the width of the insulating blocks 47, 48 to be cut off being equal to the width of the insulating panels 29, 30 to be cut off.
    Unlike the cutting made on the insulating panels 29, 30, the insulating blocks 47, 48 are cut along their face 97 which is opposite to the edge 92. Thus, thanks to this feature, the insulating blocks 47, 48 can be pre-assembled in pairs by means of the angles 52 before being cut to the required size.
    The dimension, in a direction orthogonal to the edge, of the metal sheets 23 which are welded to the angles 52 is adjusted as a function of its aforementioned measurement of its supporting structure then its corner pieces 86 as well as said metal sheets 23 are welded on the angles 52.
    FIG. 7 represents a corner structure according to a second embodiment. This embodiment differs from the previous embodiment only in that the support member which comes to bear against the lateral edges of the external plates 51 of the insulating blocks 47, 48 so as to retain said external plates 51 of the two insulating blocks 47, 48 adjacent and one of the first metal plates 43 of the secondary sealing membrane 4 is a U-shaped profile 59.
    FIG. 8 represents a corner structure according to a third embodiment. This embodiment differs in particular from the previous ones by the structure of the means for anchoring the insulating blocks 47, 48 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 on the insulating panels 29, 30 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1. In fact, in this mode one embodiment, the lateral edges of the external plates 51 are each provided with an oblong hole 60. The largest dimension of said oblong hole 60 is oriented in a direction orthogonal to the edge 92. Furthermore, two studs 49, anchored to the 'one of the insulating panels 29, 30 in a manner as described above, pass through each of the obiong orifices 60. A nut 57 to which it is possible to add a set of Belleville washers is threaded onto each of the studs 49 of so as to exert, on its lateral edges of the external plates 51, a force capable of retaining the insulating blocks 47, 48 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 against the pan insulating layer 29, 30 respectively of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1.
    The embodiment of FIG. 8 also differs from the previous embodiments in that the polymer layer 62 of each of the insulating blocks 47, 48 here comprises two distinct portions 62a, 62b which are juxtaposed one after the other. another in a direction orthogonal to the intersection between the two walls 27, 28. The two portions 62a, 62b are here made of separate polymer materials. Thus, the portion 62a of the polymer layer 62 which is the farthest from the edge 92 and which is intended to be cut in order to adjust the dimension of the Insulating block 47, 48 in question can be produced in a less polymeric material. noble, which limits the economic impact of cutting insulating blocks 47,48. For example, the portion 62b can be made of high density polyurethane foam, for example of the order of 130 kg / m 3 while the portion 62a is made of a polyurethane foam which has a lower density and is therefore less expensive. Advantageously, the polyurethane foam of the portion 62a is still greater than or equal to
    100 kg / m 3 .
    The application of such a two-component structure of the insulating blocks 47, 48 is not limited to the embodiment of FIG. 7 and can also be applied to the insulating blocks 47, 48 of the other embodiments, or even to insulating panels 29, 30.
    Figures 9 to 13 illustrate a corner structure according to a fourth embodiment. This embodiment differs in particular from the previous ones by the structure of the means for anchoring the insulating blocks 47, 48 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 on the insulating panels 29, 30 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1.
    In this embodiment, the external plate 51 of each of the insulating blocks 47, 48 also has lateral edges which extend laterally on either side of its layer of polymer foam 62 and of the internal plate 50 and a plate of support 52 comes to bear against each of the lateral edges of the external plate 51. As in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 5, a nut 57 is screwed onto the threaded end of a stud 49 anchored to one of the blocks insulators 29, 30 and retains said support plate 52 against the lateral edges of the external plates 51 of two adjacent insulating blocks 29 or 30.
    The anchoring of each insulating block 47, 48 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5 is also carried out by means of an anchoring strip 63 associated with the insulating block 47, 48 and two anchoring rods 64 connecting said strip d anchoring 63 to an insulating panel 29, 30 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1.
    The anchor rods 64 are each arranged so as to connect an insulating block 47, 48 which rests against one of the two insulating panels 29, 30 of the corner structure to the other of the two insulating panels 29, 30 of the corner structure. Each anchoring strip 63 extends on the internal face of an insulating block 47, 48 in a direction parallel to the intersection between the two walls 27, 28 and is housed in a countersink which is formed on the internal face of said insulating block 47, 48. Furthermore, each anchoring strip 63 has at each of its two ends a tab 65 projecting along one of the lateral edges of the insulating block 47, 48, in the gap separating two blocks insulators 47 or 48 adjacent, in the direction of the support structure 3. Each tab 65 has a shape of a trihedron formed by three flat portions which intersect in pairs. One of the three flat portions forms an anchoring portion 66 on which one of the ends of its anchoring rod 64 is anchored. The anchoring portion 66 extends in a plane substantially orthogonal to the axis of the anchor rod 64. In the embodiment shown, the anchor rods 64 extend substantially orthogonally to the plane of the wall 27, 28 against which is disposed the insulating panel 29, 30 to which they are anchored. Also, the anchoring portion 66 extends in a plane substantially parallel to the adjacent wall 27, 28. Each anchor rod 64 has an internal end which is connected to one of the insulating panels 29, 30 via a ball joint and an external end which is connected to one of the anchoring portions 66 by through a ball joint. In addition, at least one of the ball joint connections allows adjustment of the length of the link between the two aforementioned ball joint connections. Thus, such means for anchoring the insulating blocks 47, 48 also allow a plurality of relative positions of the insulating blocks 47, 48 relative to the insulating panels 29, 30.
    In relation to FIGS. 10, 11 and 12, the structure of the ball joint connections will be described below in more detail. The internal end of the anchor rod 64, shown in detail in Figure 11, is threaded and cooperates with a nut 67. In addition, the anchor rod 64 passes through a hole in the anchor portion 66 The nut 67 plates two washers 68, 69 which are threaded on the anchor rod 64 against the anchor plate 66. The two washers 68, 69 cooperate against each other by means of surfaces d 'support which are inscribed in a sphere and are of complementary forms. Thus, such an arrangement forms a ball joint having three degrees of freedom. In addition, the position of the nut 67 along the anchor rod 64 can be changed in order to act on the length of the link.
    The external end of the anchor rod 64, shown in detail in FIG. 12, also has a thread cooperating with a nut 82. Thus, the position of the nut 82 along the anchor rod 64 can also be modified to act on the length of the link. The nut 82 presses a washer 83 fitted on the anchor rod 64 against a ring 84 which is retained at one of the insulating panels 29, 30. The washer 83 and the ring 84 cooperate with each other by by means of bearing surfaces which are inscribed in a sphere and of complementary shape so as to form a ball joint. The ring 84 has a cylindrical skirt 85 extending axially along the axis of the anchor rod 64 from the bearing surface of said ring 84. The cylindrical skirt 85 defines a housing in which the nut is housed 82 and the washer 83. The cylindrical skirt 85 has on its outer periphery a thread cooperating with a threaded bore formed in a blind nut 61. As in the embodiment illustrated and described in relation to FIG. 4, the blind nut 61 is fixed to an anchoring plate 46 which is fixed to an insulating panel 29, 30 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1. The anchoring plate 46 is fixed in a recess provided in the internal plate 33 of an insulating panel 29 , 30, for example by screwing. Each anchoring plate 46 has a threaded bore inside which is screwed one of the cap nuts 61. To do this, each cap nut 61 has on its outer periphery a thread cooperating with a threaded bore formed in the plate d anchor 46. Furthermore, each cap nut 61 passes through an orifice formed in one of the first metal sheets 43 of the secondary sealing membrane 4 and further comprises a collar making it possible to sandwich the first sheet metallic 43 between said flange and the anchoring plate 46. Each flange is also welded to the first metal sheet 43 at the periphery of the orifice in order to seal the secondary sealing membrane 4.
    As shown in FIG. 13, the metal sheets 23 of the primary sealing membrane 7 which border the corner area are welded along their edge directed towards the intersection between the bearing structures 3 of the two walls 27, 28 on Its anchoring strips 63. Furthermore, the primary sealing membrane 7 has a plurality of corner pieces 88, metallic. Each corner piece 88 has two wings which are respectively parallel to one and to the other of the supporting structures 3 of the two adjacent walls 27, 28. Each wing is welded astride the anchor strips 63 of two adjacent insulating blocks 47 or 48. The corner pieces 88 are made of a material identical to that of the other metal sheets 23 of the primary sealing membrane 7. In addition, each corner piece 88 has a corrugation 89 extending from one end to the other. other of the corner piece 88 along the two wings so as to allow a deformation of the corner piece 88 in a direction parallel to the intersection between the two walls 27, 28. The undulation 89 of each of the corner pieces 88 extends in the extension of one of the directions of the corrugations of the primary waterproofing membrane 7 so as to ensure continuity of the corrugation network of the primary waterproofing membrane 7 at the level of the 'angle of the tank. The corner pieces 88 are also welded overlapping to the metal sheets 23 of the primary sealing membrane 7. The dimension, in the direction orthogonal to the edge 92, of the metal sheets 23 which are welded overlapping to Its parts angle 88, is adjusted according to the in-situ measurement of the supporting structure 4.
    Figures 15 and 16 illustrate a corner structure according to a fifth embodiment. This embodiment differs in particular from the first embodiment described in relation to FIGS. 2 to 5 by the means for anchoring the insulating blocks 47, 48 on the insulating panels 29, 30. In this embodiment, two retaining members , shown in FIG. 16, retain each of the two lateral edges of the internal plate 51 of each of the insulating blocks 47, 48. Each of the retaining members comprises a support plate 98, 99. Each support plate 98, 99 has an orifice through which a respective stud 100, 101 passes, anchored on one of the insulating panels 29, 30. Each support plate 98 comes to bear against the lateral edges of the external plates 51 of two adjacent insulating blocks 47 , 48.
    In addition, in order to allow the cutting of the insulating blocks 47, 48 while they are pre-assembled in pairs by means of the angles 52 before being cut to the required dimensions, the dimension of each of the wings 53, 54 of the angles 52 in a direction orthogonal to the edge 92 is less than that of the insulating blocks 47, 48 so that each insulating block 47, 48 has a portion which is not covered by one of the angles 52. Advantageously, plywood plates 102 are fixed on the internal plate 50 of each of the insulating blocks 47, 48, in its area not covered by one of the angles 52. The plywood plates 102 have a thickness such that the internal surface of each plywood plates 102 are flush with the internal surface of one of the wings 53, 54 of the angles 52. Such an arrangement ensures continuity in the carrying of the primary sealing membrane 7.
    Figures 17 and 18 illustrate a corner structure according to a sixth embodiment. In this embodiment, each of the insulating blocks 147, 148 has a dimension in a direction parallel to the edge 92 which is identical to the equivalent dimension of a standard insulating panel 6 of the primary thermally insulating barrier 5. In the mode embodiment shown, the dimension in question of the insulating blocks is identical to its corresponding dimension of the insulating panels 29, 30. Furthermore, the insulating blocks 147, 148 are arranged in alignment with its rows of standard insulating panels 6. Thus, in the embodiment shown, each of the insulating blocks 147, 148 has a dimension, taken parallel to the edge 92, which is substantially equivalent to three inter-corrugation distances. The insulating blocks 147, 148 have a composite structure and each comprise a layer of polymer foam 162 sandwiched between two plates, internal 150 and external 151, of plywood, glued to said layer of polymer foam 162. The external plate 151 of each of the insulating blocks 147, 148 also has lateral edges which project laterally on either side of the layer of polymer foam 162 and of the internal plate 150.
    A stud 104, anchored to one of the insulating panels 29, 30, is disposed in each intersection between a gap separating two insulating blocks 147 or
    148 adjacent and a gap separating said two insulating blocks 147, 148 and said two standard insulating panels 6 adjacent. Each of the studs 104 cooperates with a retaining member 105 which has a bore through which the said stud 104 passes and includes tabs which bear against the corner areas of the external plates 151 of two adjacent insulating blocks 147, 148, of a on the other hand, and against the corner areas of the two adjacent standard insulating panels 6. Thus, the number of studs 104 necessary for anchoring the insulating blocks 147, 148 and the standard insulating panels 6 is limited.
    As shown in FIG. 18, each of the insulating blocks 147, 48 10 here has relaxation slots 103 which extend from one end to the other of the insulating block 147, 48 in a direction orthogonal to the edge 92. Each of the corrugations of the primary sealing membrane 7, orthogonal to the edge 92, is arranged facing one of the relaxation slots 103 or facing the gap formed between two adjacent insulating blocks 147, 148. Each relaxation slot
    103 passes entirely through the thickness of the internal plate 150 and is also provided in part, or even in all, of the thickness of the layer of polymer foam 162. Thanks to said relaxation slots 103, the undulations of the membrane of primary seal 8 can deform without imposing significant mechanical stresses on the insulating blocks 147, 48.
    Furthermore, the insulating blocks 47, 48 are assembled two by two by means of a plurality of angles 52, having a structure identical to those of FIGS. 2, 3 and 5 to 8. Each interval formed is between two relaxation slots 103 , or between one of the relaxation slots 103 and a lateral edge of the insulating block 147, 148, receives the wing of one of the angles 52.
    As in the embodiment of FIGS. 15 and 16, each insulating block 147, 148 has a portion which is not covered by one of the angles 52 and plywood plates 102 are fixed on the internal plate 150 of each of the insulating blocks 147, 148, in its area not covered by one of the angles 52, so as to ensure continuity in the bearing of the primary sealing membrane 7.
    FIG. 13 schematically illustrates the insulating panels 29, 30 of the secondary thermally insulating barrier 1 of the corner structure. According to this embodiment, the first faces 93 of the insulating panels 29, 30 which run along the edge 92 are not cut perpendicular to the internal and external faces of said insulating panels 29, 30. Indeed, the first faces 93 of the insulating panels 29 , 30 adjacent are cut in a bevel so as to form a beveled portion 91 which is adjacent to the internal face 95 of said insulating panels 29, 30. Thus, it is possible to adjust the relative position of the insulating panels 29, 30 by limiting the material losses linked to the cutting of the insulating panels 29, 30.
    The dimensions a1 and a2 which correspond respectively to the smallest thickness of the first and second insulating panels 29, 30, that is to say taken at one end of the bevelled portion 91, in a direction orthogonal to the internal faces and external of said insulating panel 29, 30 as well as the angles a1 and a2 formed respectively by the bevelled portion 91 of the first and second insulating panels 29, 30 relative to the internal face of said insulating panel 29, 30 can for example be determined at using the following formulas:
    a1 = a2 = 180 - 0.5 β; and a2 - x1 - L1 init - i;
    a1 = x2 - L 2 init - i;
    with:
    - β: the angle in degrees formed between the load-bearing structures of the two walls 27, 28;
    - a1 and a2 in degrees;
    - e: the respective maximum thickness of the first panel 29 and the second panel 30;
    - x1: the measurement representative of the space between the edge 92 and the insulating panel 2 adjacent to the destination location of the first insulating panel 29;
    - x2: the measurement representative of the space between the edge 92 and the insulating panel 2 adjacent to the destination location of the second insulating panel 29;
    - i: the width setpoint of a gap between one of the first and second insulating panels 29, 30 and the adjacent insulating panel 2; and
    L1 init, L2 init: the respective initial dimension of the first and second insulating panels 29, 30 in a direction orthogonal to the first face of said insulating panels 29, 30.
    With reference to FIG. 19, a cutaway view of an LNG tanker 70 shows a sealed and insulated tank 71 of generally prismatic shape mounted in the double hull 72 of the ship. The wall of the tank 71 comprises a primary waterproof barrier intended to be in contact with the LNG contained in the tank, a secondary waterproof barrier arranged between the primary waterproof barrier and the double hull 72 of the ship, and two insulating barriers arranged respectively between the primary waterproof barrier and the secondary waterproof barrier and between the secondary waterproof barrier and the double shell 72.
    In a manner known per se, loading / unloading lines 73 arranged on the upper deck of the ship can be connected, by means of appropriate connectors, to a maritime or port terminal for transferring a cargo of LNG from or to the tank 71.
    FIG. 19 also shows an example of a maritime terminal comprising a loading and unloading station 75, an underwater pipe 76 and a shore installation 77. The loading and unloading station 75 is a fixed offshore installation comprising a movable arm 74 and a tower 78 which supports the movable arm 74. The movable arm 74 carries a bundle of insulated flexible pipes 79 which can be connected to the loading / unloading pipes 73. The movable arm 74 can be adjusted to suit any size of LNG carrier. A connection pipe, not shown, extends inside the tower 78. The loading and unloading station 75 allows the loading and unloading of the LNG carrier 70 from or to the onshore installation 77. This comprises storage tanks for liquefied gas 80 and connecting pipes 81 connected by submarine pipe 76 to the loading or unloading station 75. The submarine pipe 76 allows the transfer of liquefied gas between the loading or unloading station 75 and the shore installation 77 over a long distance, for example 5 km, which makes it possible to keep the LNG carrier 70 at a great distance from the coast during the loading and unloading operations.
    To generate the pressure necessary for the transfer of the liquefied gas, pumps on board the ship 70 and / or pumps fitted to the shore installation 77 and / or pumps fitted to the loading and unloading station 75 are used.
    Although the invention has been described in connection with several particular embodiments, it is obvious that it is in no way limited thereto and that it includes all of its technical equivalents of the means described as well as their combinations if these fall within the scope of the invention.
    The use of the verb "behave", "understand" or "include" and its conjugate forms do not exclude the presence of other elements or steps than those set out in a claim.
    In the claims, any reference sign in parentheses cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the claim.
