Nordic Yards sets up a new test track as a 'cooling zone' to test 3 models of the yard's own-design LNG cargo tanks. A new test track has been inaugurated at the WarnemuĚnde location of Nordic Yards. The cooling zone is being used to test three models, so-called mock-ups, developed as part of the POLAR Alliance. These models, all of which are Nordic Yards' own designs on a scale of 1:1, represent an LNG cargo handling system, but are being tested independently of one another for reasons of precision. The test models include a double barrier tank (Aluminium Double Barrier Tank, ADBT), an LNG deck line with de-icing system and a double-walled bunker line. The models are now being tested for three months alternately on the 15 metre-long test track at cryogenic temperatures.
