Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is an insulation panel for the corner area of an LNG cargo containment system. This invention includes a main body that constitutes a corner area of the cargo, along with a stress diverging part that reduces stress convergence. By forming the corner area with a round-shaped curvature, it prevents stress caused by hull deformation and thermal changes, thereby eliminating the risk of cracks in the secondary barrier. This design enhances the constructability of the secondary barrier and reduces the thickness of the primary barrier, improving reliability and significantly decreasing weight compared to conventional designs.

Another significant patent is the pump tower installation structure of a liquefied natural gas storage tank and its manufacturing method. This structure features an adaptor located at a specific area of an opening in the inner hull of the LNG storage tank. It also includes a cover with through-holes that correspond to the pipes of the installed pump tower, ensuring a secure connection with the adaptor.
