Abstract (en)

A double-shell tank includes: an inner shell having a spherical shell shape and including therein a storing portion that stores a liquid in a sealed state; an outer shell that covers the inner shell; and powdered thermal insulation that is filled in a space surrounded by an outer wall of the inner shell and an inner wall of the outer shell to become a heat insulating layer. A size of a top portion gap between the inner shell and the outer shell is equal to or more than a value obtained by adding a level difference to a size of a bottom portion gap between the inner shell and the outer shell, the level difference being a level difference between the powdered thermal insulation when the inner shell is in an empty state and the powdered thermal insulation when the liquid is in the inner shell.
