  • Patent number: 11480298
    Abstract: A tank that has a tank wall having a secondary insulating barrier, a primary insulating barrier, a primary sealed membrane and a secondary sealed membrane, the tank wall having a first area in which the insulating modules include spacers extending in a thickness direction of the tank wall between a cover panel and a bottom panel of said insulating modules, a second area in which a cover panel of the insulating modules is kept at a distance from a bottom panel by a structural insulating foam, a transition area interposed between the first area and the second area, the transition area having a coefficient of thermal contraction and/or a modulus of elasticity in the thickness direction of the tank wall which is between that of the first area and that of the second area.

  • Patent number: 9995434
    Abstract: An internal bottom wall of the double hull bears a sump structure comprising a rigid container arranged through the thickness of the bottom wall of the tank and intended to accommodate a suction member of a pump. The rigid container comprises a bottom wall situated at a level further toward the outside than the secondary sealing membrane of the bottom wall of the tank. The sump structure comprises a primary connecting plate surrounding the container, the primary connecting plate having a connecting surface extending parallel to the primary sealing membrane of the bottom wall of the tank, the primary sealing membrane of the bottom wall of the tank being attached in a sealed manner to the connecting surface all around the sump structure.

  • Patent number: 9611865
    Abstract: A bypass turbojet including a fan wheel carrying blades and surrounded by an annular casing, the casing including an air suction mechanism sucking air from an annular clearance formed between the casing and radially outer ends of the blades of the fan wheel. The air suction mechanism includes an inlet including at least one inlet slot formed in an inside wall of the casing and connected to a suction channel extending downstream. The inlet slot of the suction mechanism is situated axially in register solely with upstream portions of chords of the blades of the fan wheel at their radially outer ends.
