20140326356 | COMPOSITE HOSE HAVING A HIGH THERMAL INSULATION FOR LIQUID GAS TRANSFER - A composite hose for liquid gas transfer covered by a material having a high thermal insulation. The hose is preferably Compotec® Cryotec 660 and has the properties of being resistant to corrosion and salt of the sea, to UV radiation, to ozone and to sea water. The hose is covered by an insulation layer, which includes one or more layers of an insulating mattress made of a silicon dioxide gel, preferably Cryogel™ Z. The resulting device has an integrated wall to vapor, in order to give the best thermal protection with the lowest weight and thickness, with completely no passage of water vapor. It is very flexible and light in order to provide an efficient thermal insulation during the process of liquid gas transfer, in particular avoiding the creation of ice on the outside of the hose. | 11-06-2014 |
