Summary of the invention
The problem that invention to solve
In contrast, as the regasification plant of the ratio ORV mode miniaturization that buoyancy aid is arranged with, boats and ships, there is the example using following regasification plant: employ the STV(shell-and-tube gasifier of the shell-and-tube exchanger 100 shown in Fig. 3) regasification plant under mode。
The typical construction of this shell-and-tube exchanger 100 is as shown in the drawing, has: the upstream supervisor 103 that LNG stream enters;Heat pipe 107, is responsible for 103 with upstream and is connected, be set up in parallel multiple;Downstream supervisor 105, the LNG stream having passed through heat pipe 107 enters。In the through hydroecium 109 surrounded by cylindrical body (housing) of each heat pipe 107。Being mainly characterized by as this heat exchanger, hydroecium 109 substantially central portion longitudinally is divided into upstream side hydroecium 109a and downstream hydroecium 109b。In upstream side hydroecium 109a, import sea water (S.W.) from the side, most upstream (for left side figure) of LNG stream, discharge sea water (dotted line with reference to this figure) from the downstream of upstream side hydroecium 109a。That is, in upstream side hydroecium 109a, sea water stream and LNG stream are parallel flows。On the other hand, in the hydroecium 109b of downstream, importing sea water from the most downstream side (for right side figure) of LNG stream, the upstream side of side hydroecium 109b discharges sea water (dotted line with reference in this figure) downstream。That is, in the hydroecium 109b of downstream, sea water stream and LNG stream are relative currents。Therefore, in the side, most upstream that LNG temperature is minimum, use the sea water of high temperature as parallel flow, thus freezing of heat pipe outer surface can be avoided, be relative current in the most downstream of LNG stream, so that it is guaranteed that LNG takes out temperature。
But, the shell-and-tube exchanger 100 of this mode is compared with the shell-and-tube exchanger 100 ' that the hydroecium shown in Fig. 4 is Room 1, structure complexity, relatively costly, and the shortcoming that there is difficult design。
Accordingly, as the composition adopting the shell-and-tube exchanger 100 ' that hydroecium is Room 1 shown in Fig. 4, there is the method preheating LNG with other devices in advance。Such as, it is proposed that IFV(Intermediate-Fluid-typeVaporizer: the intermediary formula gasifier) scheme of mode。Being called in the method for IFV mode arrange preheating step at this, it is at the upstream side of shell-and-tube exchanger, by heating sources such as sea water and indirectly preheats LNG indirectly by anti-freeze type thermal medium via anti-freeze type thermal medium such as propane。By this preheating step, make the LNG inlet temperature of shell-and-tube exchanger rise to and be not likely to produce the temperature freezed, the cheap shell-and-tube exchanger that hydroecium can be adopted to be Room 1。But having the disadvantage in that the required investment of preheating step is relatively big, because using the anti-icing fluid such as propane, process, safeguard more complicated, and equipment structure also becomes complicated。
The present invention proposes in view of the above circumstances, its object is to provide a kind of preheating carrying out liquid gas with simple structure the regasification plant of liquid gas that can be regasified by the heat exchanger of simple structure。
For the method solving problem
For solving the problems referred to above, the regasification plant of the liquid gas of the present invention and regasify gas manufacture method and adopt following methods。
That is, the regasification plant of the liquid gas that the 1st mode of the present invention relates to has: preheating heat exchanger, by the pre-hot fluid of flowing in pre-hot flowpath, the liquid gas of flowing in being preheated stream is preheated;And the 1st heat exchanger, sea water or clear water is used to regasify the liquid gas preheated by this preheating heat exchanger, in above-mentioned pre-hot flowpath, it is directed through the gas that above-mentioned 1st heat exchanger regasifies, the regasification plant of above-mentioned liquid gas has the 2nd heat exchanger, and the 2nd heat exchanger will use sea water or clear water to regasify by above-mentioned pre-hot flowpath the liquid gas that condenses。
In preheating heat exchanger, the gas regasified by the 1st heat exchanger is imported to pre-hot flowpath, and preheats liquid gas。Therefore, use the self heat preheating liquid gas regasified, preheated by the same fluid of flowing in continuous print path, therefore without using other thermal medium such as propane in preheating step, it is possible to simple structure forms preheating step。
And, 1st heat exchanger is directed through the liquid gas of preheating heat exchanger preheating, the liquid gas temperature flowing into the 1st heat exchanger rises, and therefore can reduce the ice freezed or produce because of heat-exchange surface in thermal medium such as heat pipe surrounding seawater or clear water and the probability of the deterioration of heat exchange performance that causes。Therefore, when using shell-and-tube exchanger as the 1st heat exchanger, the shell-and-tube exchanger of the simple construction that hydroecium can be adopted to be Room 1。
Further, the pre-hot flowpath being directed through preheating heat exchanger in the 2nd heat exchanger the liquid gas condensed。When being flowed in pre-hot flowpath by the liquid gas of pre-hot flowpath, heat is provided to the liquid gas of flowing in being preheated stream, temperature declines, but the gasifying gas comparing high temperature with the liquid gas of flowing in being preheated flowing is directed in pre-hot flowpath, because of this composition, can implementation plan so that flow in pre-hot flowpath, cooling, condensation liquid gas, will not be cooled to be flowed into the liquid gas temperature of preheating heat exchanger。Therefore, the liquid gas temperature that can flow into the 2nd heat exchanger rises than liquid gas temperature, thus the same with above-mentioned 1st heat exchanger, it is possible to decrease freeze in thermal medium such as heat pipe surrounding seawater or clear water or the ice that produces because of heat-exchange surface and the probability of the deterioration of heat exchange performance that causes。Therefore, when using shell-and-tube exchanger as the 2nd heat exchanger, the shell-and-tube exchanger of the simple construction that hydroecium can be adopted to be Room 1。
In addition, " liquid gas " will be called from the fluid being preheated stream and pre-hot flowpath outflow of preheating heat exchanger, but and refer not only to the fluid being only made up of liquid phase, be also included within the two-phase fluid gasified or had predetermined moisture in heat exchanger outlet side。
Further, as the 1st heat exchanger and/or the 2nd heat exchanger, it is preferred to use shell-and-tube exchanger, but the present invention is not particularly limited, for instance may also be the heat exchanger of above-mentioned ORV mode。
Further, as the heating medium of the 1st heat exchanger, the 2nd heat exchanger, when using the heating under the secondary closure circuit such as clear water, it is possible to add anti-icing fluid and take thermal medium further freeze countermeasure。
Further, in the regasification plant of the liquid gas related in above-mentioned 1st mode, it is possible to be arranged to make the cooling flowing path of boil-off gas pre-cooling or condensation at above-mentioned preheating heat exchanger,。
There is the situation being provided with re-liquefied equipment such as the boil-off gas produced for the storage tank by store liquefied gas body etc.。In this case, by the cooling flowing path making boil-off gas pre-cooling or condensation is arranged on preheating heat exchanger, boil-off gas can be cooled down, and relatively efficiently preheat liquid gas。
Especially, as described below, it is preferable that to be readily able to be formed the heat-exchangers of the plate type of the fluidising of multiple independent streams, use as preheating heat exchanger。
Further, in the regasification plant of the liquid gas related in above-mentioned 1st mode, above-mentioned preheating heat exchanger may also be heat-exchangers of the plate type。
By making preheating heat exchanger be heat-exchangers of the plate type, it may be achieved miniaturization。
As heat-exchangers of the plate type, specifically include plate-fin, spiral, it is preferred to use stainless steel, aluminium alloy material。
Further, the gas manufacture method that regasifies that the 2nd mode of the present invention relates to has: preheating step, uses preheating heat exchanger, by the pre-hot fluid of flowing in pre-hot flowpath, the liquid gas of flowing in being preheated stream is preheated;And the 1st regasify step, use the 1st heat exchanger, sea water or clear water is used to regasify the liquid gas preheated by above-mentioned preheating step, in above-mentioned pre-hot flowpath, it is directed through the gas that above-mentioned 1st heat exchanger regasifies, the above-mentioned gas manufacture method that regasifies has the 2nd and regasifies step, uses the 2nd heat exchanger, the thermal medium such as sea water or clear water will be used to regasify by above-mentioned pre-hot flowpath the liquid gas that condenses。
In preheating step in preheating heat exchanger, the gas regasified by the 1st heat exchanger is imported to pre-hot flowpath, and preheats liquid gas。Therefore, use the self heat preheating liquid gas regasified, preheated by the same fluid of flowing in continuous print path, therefore without using other thermal medium such as propane in preheating step, it is possible to simple structure forms preheating step。
Further, the 1st in the 1st heat exchanger regasifies in step, is directed through the liquid gas of preheating heat exchanger preheating, and the liquid gas temperature flowing into the 1st heat exchanger rises, and therefore can reduce the probability freezed at heat pipe surrounding seawater or clear water。Therefore, when using shell-and-tube exchanger as the 1st heat exchanger, the shell-and-tube exchanger of the simple construction that hydroecium can be adopted to be Room 1。
Further, the 2nd in the 2nd heat exchanger regasifies in step, the pre-hot flowpath being directed through preheating heat exchanger the liquid gas condensed。When being flowed in pre-hot flowpath by the liquid gas of pre-hot flowpath, heat is provided to the liquid gas of flowing in being preheated stream, temperature declines, but the gasifying gas comparing high temperature with the liquid gas of flowing in being preheated flowing is directed in pre-hot flowpath, because of this composition so that the liquid gas flow in pre-hot flowpath, cool down, condensed will not be cooled to be flowed into the liquid gas temperature of preheating heat exchanger。Therefore, the liquid gas temperature that can flow into the 2nd heat exchanger rises than liquid gas temperature, therefore can reduce the probability freezed at heat pipe surrounding seawater or clear water。Therefore, when using shell-and-tube exchanger as the 2nd heat exchanger, the shell-and-tube exchanger of the simple construction that hydroecium can be adopted to be Room 1。
Additionally, will from preheating heat exchanger be preheated stream and fluid that pre-hot flowpath flows out be called " liquid gas ", but and refer not only to the fluid being only made up of liquid phase, be also included within the gasification liquefaction of heat exchanger outlet or there is the two-phase fluid of predetermined moisture。

Further, as the heating medium of the 1st heat exchanger, the 2nd heat exchanger, when using the secondary closure circuit such as clear water, it is possible to add anti-icing fluid。
Invention effect
In preheating heat exchanger, use the heat of self regasified by the 1st heat exchanger to preheat liquid gas, preheated by the same fluid of flowing in continuous print path, therefore without using other thermal medium such as propylene in preheating step, it is possible to simple structure preheats。
Further, by preheating liquid gas, it is possible to decrease the probability freezed around the heat pipe of the 1st heat exchanger, the heat exchanger of simple structure can be adopted。
Further, the liquid gas temperature of the 2nd heat exchanger can be flowed into and rise than liquid gas temperature, therefore can reduce heat pipe surrounding seawater or probability that clear water freezes。Therefore the heat exchanger of simple structure can be adopted。
