Abstract
An LNG bunkering system stores LNG in a horizontal IMO's C-Type tank insulated with perlite powder, and $10^{-2}$ Torr vacuum in the annular space between the double walls. Current storage tanks have high heat leakage, evaporating over 2.0% daily. A more efficiently insulated storage tank reducing the evaporation rate is required to develope. This research carried out thermal analysis on a new effective insulation method, i.e. double shield insulation system, that separates high super vacuum in the annular space between two tanks with a perlite vacuum in the back side of outer tank. This highly efficient insulation system obtained an evaporation rate of 0.16% per day under a $10^{-4}$ Torr vacuum. Even if the space loses its vacuum, the new insulation system showed a lower evaporation rate of 5.23% than the present perlite system of 4.9%.
