Abstract: A method is disclosed herein for detecting cracks of a fluid storage tank due to breakage of a wall of the fluid storage tank. In an example embodiment, the method includes positioning an enclosed pressure-resistant jacket around an outer wall of the fluid storage tank, controlling a temperature of the fluid in the fluid storage tank by allowing a liquid cooling or heating medium to flow in the enclosed pressure-resistant jacket at a pressure lower than a pressure x applied within the fluid storage tank, maintaining the pressure in the pressure-resistant jacket lower than the pressure x, sampling the cooling or heating medium from an air pool provided in a passage of the cooling or heating medium, and analyzing components of the cooling or heating medium, while preventing contamination of the fluid in the fluid storage tank with the liquid cooling or heating medium.

Abstract: A method and a plant for preventing contamination of a fluid in a fluid storage tank with a liquid cooling or heating medium is provided. In a method of controlling a temperature of a fluid in a fluid storage tank under a predetermined pressure by allowing a liquid cooling or heating medium to flow in an enclosed pressure-resistant jacket provided around the outer wall of the fluid storage tank, said method comprises allowing the cooling or heating medium to flow in the enclosed pressure-resistant jacket at a pressure not higher than the pressure x (atm) applied within the fluid storage tank, preferably lower than x (atm), whereby preventing contamination of said fluid with said cooling or heating medium. A plant for the method is also provided.

Abstract: A holding case for holding a disc-like flat battery is disclosed. The flat battery is configured such that a sealing plate which also serves as a first electrode surface hermetically seals a battery case which also serves as a second electrode surface, with a ring-shaped gasket interposed therebetween. The holding case is in a resin-made box-like shape having an open end face through which the flat battery can be inserted and removed from an electrode surface of the flat battery. A side portion of the holding case is provided with a protrusion which protrudes radially inward from an edge of the side portion closer to the open end face. The protrusion is positioned at a location farther from a bottom portion of the holding case than the thickness of the flat battery.

Abstract: A flat battery is configured such that a sealing plate which serves as a negative electrode surface seals a battery case which serves as a positive electrode surface, with a gasket interposed therebetween. The flat battery is held in a resin case, and in this state the flat battery is contained in a battery package. The resin case includes an open end face through which the battery is inserted and removed, a side portion and a bottom portion which hold a side surface and/or a bottom surface of the battery, and a ring-shaped protrusion which protrudes radially inward from an edge of the side portion. The protrusion is supported on the edge in a bendable manner, and an inner diameter of the protrusion is smaller than an inner diameter of an exposed portion of the gasket. An emetic agent is applied to an outer surface of the resin case.
