According to the design specifications, fire dikes should be installed for single-volume tanks and double-volume tanks, while they are not necessary for tanks with full volume. The formulas in GB50183 relate to the calculation of thermal radiation from tank groups, with a pool fire referring to the distance outside the fire dike. For full-volume tanks that lack fire dikes, is it correct to understand that thermal radiation refers only to the accumulated liquid pool, without considering the thermal radiation from the water within the tank itself in the case of a fire dike? 2. When constructing an LPG receiving station, should the layout be adjusted to meet the safety spacing requirements related to LNG heat radiation? According to GB50183, the values specified for LNG heat radiation are much larger than those for safety spacing.
