Friends, how should the refrigeration and cooling water pipes in horizontal storage tanks be designed?

Dear friends, when storing butadiene or ethylene oxide, horizontal storage tanks are used, along with cryogenic cooling systems. I would like to ask how the cooling water pipes inside such horizontal storage tanks should be designed What form is it?
Reply to 1# Zhu Hongbin: Use U-shaped tube bundle elements placed at the bottom, with one end extending out of the storage tank, to allow the cooling medium to enter and exit. The specific area (number of pipes, pipe diameter, length) needs to be calculated and adjusted. By the way, butadiene tanks don’t need to be cooled; they are stored under pressure. I’m not familiar with ethylene oxide.
I’m referring to the cooling water pipes inside the horizontal storage tank, not the heater. Are the cooling water pipes located at the bottom of the horizontal storage tank, and can they be used to cool the material? I thought of this situation and felt it wouldn’t work.
