What are the advantages and disadvantages of spherical tanks

Advantages: 1. Under the condition of the same volume, the ball surface has a very small surface area and the net weight of the equipment is very small; 2. The small surface area of the sphere means that the heat transfer area is very small. In addition, the interlayer can be vacuumized, which is conducive to good heat insulation effect; 3. The spherical characteristic has good resistance to internal and external pressure

Disadvantages: 1. Special processing tools are required for processing and forming, and the processing accuracy is difficult to guarantee; 2. The on-site assembly technology is difficult and the quality is difficult to guarantee; 3. Although the net weight of the spherical shell is very small, the material utilization rate is very low.
