Abstract: Foundation heating systems for LNG storage tanks resting on grade are important in preventing the possibility of frost heave beneath the tank foundation. Here, the thermal behavior of such heating systems is considered by determining how critical parameters influence the design. These parameters are: heater spacing, heater cable characteristics, insulation thickness, product temperature, and thermal conductivities of the heater embedment material and foundation soil. The transient behavior of an on-off type of heating control system is also analyzed.
