Description

Novel marine LNG fuel self-pressurization gas supply system and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a novel gas supply system for ship LNG fuel and a control method thereof.
Background
With the increasingly strict environmental requirements of ships, the use of clean energy Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) instead of conventional fuel oil has become one of the main directions of ship fuel. LNG is stored in liquid form on board the ship, but is very volatile to produce boil-off gas after being heated on board, creating a flammable and explosive hazardous environment. To avoid the diffusion of volatile gases from such alternative fuels, the international maritime organization allows the use of type C fuel tanks (pressure vessel type) for storing such low flash point fuels.
In an LNG liquid tank which is in a vacuum heat insulation form and is coated with a heat insulation material for storing LNG liquid, when fuel needs to be supplied to a ship engine or other gas consumption equipment, the pressure of the tank is insufficient, an LNG vaporizer called a self-booster is usually adopted to raise the pressure of the low-temperature LNG liquid tank to a required value, and then the LNG liquid is heated to be normal-temperature gas fuel, so that the pressure, temperature and flow rate of the gas fuel are ensured to meet the technical requirements of the ship engine or other similar gas consumption equipment.
For a self-pressurization system form and principle introduction of a typical LNG tank, see published papers: the design optimization of the self-pressurization device of the liquefied natural gas cylinder for the vehicle is an article of No. 9 of volume 43 of the journal of Low temperature and superconduction in 2015 by Gaoyun. The working principle of the self-pressurization system and the pressurization regulating valve of the key components thereof is described in detail. In the paper, the basic principle of the LNG tank self-pressurization system is shown in figure 1, and the structural form of the mechanical spring self-operated pressurization regulating valve is shown in figure 2.
When the mechanical spring self-operated pressure increasing valve shown in fig. 2 is adopted conventionally, the tightness of the spring changes correspondingly along with the pressure change of the LNG tank, so that the opening degree of the valve is automatically adjusted, the opening degree of the pressure increasing valve is larger when the pressure of the LNG tank is lower, the opening degree of the pressure increasing valve is smaller when the pressure of the LNG tank is higher, and the pressure increasing valve is completely closed when the set pressure of the pressure increasing is reached. However, when the opening degree of the valve is small, the resistance of the valve is greatly increased, and the liquid inflow of the LNG booster (gasifier) is influenced; when the spring fails or the spring force fails to close the valve completely, liquid can continuously flow into the LNG booster (vaporizer), resulting in continuous pressurization of the LNG tank, causing the risk of overpressure in the LNG tank.
The marine LNG gasifier mainly uses hot water, hot oil, steam and other media as heat sources, and a typical marine LNG gasifier scheme is disclosed in published papers: the comparison of the scheme of the marine pipe-wound LNG vaporizer in volume 69 of the journal of the chemical industry, No. S2 of Tianya Jie and Linwensheng, of the research institute of refrigeration and cryogenic engineering of Shanghai university of transportation. The form of the structure of the around-tube LNG vaporizer is shown in figure 3.
The conventional marine LNG self-pressurizer usually adopts a shell-and-tube heat exchanger using various media such as hot water, hot oil, steam and the like as heat sources, and a coil in the heat exchanger is usually manufactured by spirally winding a thin tube. LNG is from booster belongs to the big classification of LNG vaporizer, nevertheless because the particularity of its use occasion, the actual effect of LNG is directly influenced from the booster to the resistance size of LNG heat exchange tube, and the LNG that adopts the tradition to wind tubular LNG vaporizer form design and manufacturing often can appear from the unobvious problem of pressure boost effect when in-service use, especially when LNG booster resistance is too big, can influence the work efficiency of LNG self-booster greatly.
The technical scheme of traditional boats and ships LNG fluid reservoir pressure boost is shown in figure 4, wherein, 1 is the LNG fluid reservoir, 2 is mechanical spring formula pressure boost valve of relying on oneself, and 3 is spiral wound tube formula LNG self-pressurizing ware.
The LNG flows into the spiral-wound tube type LNG self-pressurizing device 3 by its own weight through the height difference between the LNG tank 1 and the spiral-wound tube type LNG self-pressurizing device 3, and therefore the liquid inflow amount of the LNG self-pressurizing device and the pressurizing efficiency of the LNG self-pressurizing device are directly determined by the internal resistance of the spiral-wound tube type LNG self-pressurizing device 3.
Traditional LNG is from booster for in limited space increase heat transfer area as far as possible, improve heat exchange efficiency, consider simultaneously that compensation LNG is from the cold and hot expansion deflection of pipeline that the huge difference in temperature of booster import and export arouses, often adopt one set of or multiunit small-bore pipeline to design with spiral winding coil form.
The phenomenon of insufficient supercharging capacity or slow supercharging often occurs in the actual engineering application of the ship by the LNG self-supercharging device, and the reason is as follows:
firstly, the liquid of the LNG tank 1 flows into the spiral wound tube type LNG self-pressurizing device 3 only by the self weight generated by the liquid level height difference, particularly when the liquid level of the LNG tank is low, the inlet net pressure head generated by the height difference is small, and the power of the LNG flowing into the spiral wound tube type LNG self-pressurizing device 3 is very small;
secondly, in the process of changing liquid into gas, the volume is greatly expanded, so that the flow velocity is rapidly increased, and the pipeline resistance is also greatly increased. The frozen liquid is gasified after entering the spiral wound tube type LNG self-pressurizer 3, and due to the design of the spiral tube form, gas-liquid separation is not timely, so that the mixed flow resistance of the gas and the liquid is large, even gas is reversed to flow back to blow the liquid out of an inlet, and the LNG is difficult to continuously flow into the spiral wound tube type LNG self-pressurizer 3;
finally, the resistance of the small-caliber spiral coil pipe in the spiral winding pipe type LNG self-pressurizing device 3 is too large, and when the resistance of the small-caliber spiral coil pipe and the resistance of the spiral winding pipe type LNG self-pressurizing device are offset by a net pressure head generated by the liquid level height difference at the inlet of the spiral winding pipe type LNG self-pressurizing device 3, the LNG self-pressurizing device can obviously cause insufficient liquid inlet, so that the pressurizing effect is poor, and the phenomenon of insufficient pressurizing capacity or very slow pressurizing process is caused.
Typical LNG fuel supply systems with an auto-supercharged LNG vaporizer on a ship as a main device have been patented as follows (not limited thereto):

And secondly, the precision control of the gas supply pressure and the safety protection cut-off are realized from the perspective of improving the system design and the control method thereof, and the practical problem of natural gas emission escape is solved.
Specifically, the novel marine LNG fuel self-pressurization gas supply system and the control method thereof provided by the invention achieve the beneficial gas supply effect through the following modes:
(1) the novel efficient integrated heat exchanger is adopted to realize the functions of the self-pressurizer and the gasifier, wherein the arrangement form of the self-pressurizer is inclined, and the inclination angle is generally within 30 degrees. The heat exchange tube in the self-pressurizer adopts a straight tube design method. This design form is in time realizing gas-liquid separation from the booster is inside, the problem of the unable gas-liquid separation gas-liquid mixed flow resistance of spiral wound tube formula is big or even gaseous anti-scurrying backward flow blows off liquid from the entry has been solved, the pipe diameter of straight tube formula also is far greater than the spiral wound tube formula coil pipe of the same type, the pipeline velocity of flow is low, the resistance is little, the feed liquor is continuous, the pressure boost efficiency from the booster is improved by a wide margin, the design form of integral type will realize the function integration of two LNG gasifiers, the quantity of gasifier has been reduced, heat exchange efficiency is improved.
(2) The switch-controlled remote-control pressure-increasing valve is adopted to replace the traditional mechanical spring self-operated pressure-increasing valve. The controller is through gathering the pressure signal of LNG fluid reservoir, and the target pressure setting value of controller inside setting carries out the comparison, reaches the switch of automatic control pressure increasing valve in order to realize the pressure boost target, and pressure increasing valve is in the full open flow state during from the pressure boost, and the through-flow area is the biggest, and the pipeline and the valve resistance of greatly reduced self-pressurization system improve feed liquor volume and from pressure boost efficiency.

The pressure of the LNG tank can be freely modified in the controller 400 according to the requirement to achieve the purpose of depressurization of different degrees.
(4) Before the LNG tank needs to be refilled with the LNG liquid, the pressure of the LNG tank needs to be reduced as much as possible, so that the LNG liquid can be injected more easily. According to the method of the point (3), the beneficial effect of reducing the pressure of the LNG tank and facilitating the filling can be achieved by reducing the set value of the pressure reduction pressure of the controller.
(5) The heat source required by the integrated heat exchanger comes from external hot water, but when the hot water is insufficient, the LNG liquid flows into the integrated heat exchanger, so that the LNG liquid is easily frozen and cracked, and the low-temperature damage to an engine is caused due to the low outlet temperature of the gasifier. The controller controls the self-pressurization valve by acquiring the running signal of the engine and the temperature signal of the gasifier outlet, and when the engine does not run or the gasifier temperature outlet is too low, the self-pressurization valve is forcibly cut off even if the LNG liquid tank needs pressurization to increase the pressure, and the self-pressurization system is automatically forbidden to work to avoid the risk of frost cracking of the gasifier.

(7) By providing a check valve downstream of the remote fuel vent valve of one of the interlock valves, the formation of a dangerous source of air-gas mixture is avoided after venting has been opened by the backflow of air into the gas conduit.
(8) When the traditional interlocking valve group is switched, the valve is simultaneously opened and closed, and due to the fact that the valve is opened and closed for a time period, three interlocking valves are simultaneously in an overlapped opening state, gas fuel (such as a gas buffer tank) in an equipment pipeline on the upstream and the downstream of the interlocking valves in the overlapped time period can escape out through a remote control fuel ventilation valve. In order to solve the hidden trouble, when the controller controls the interlocking valve group in an interlocking manner, the controller is provided with a mode of immediately closing the valve and opening the valve in a delayed manner, so that the interlocking valve group is avoided, the overlapping time is opened, and the gas escape phenomenon is avoided.
(9) The biggest filling liquid level department that fills at the LNG fluid reservoir sets up the overflow liquid outlet, and liquid flows into in the overflow section of thick bamboo from the liquid outlet when the liquid level is too high, and an overflow section of thick bamboo position is less than the overflow liquid outlet, returns to in the LNG fluid reservoir through the overflow gas return port after the liquid gasification in the overflow section of thick bamboo to suppress gas pressure accumulation and lead to liquid unable inflow in having avoided an overflow section of thick bamboo, also avoided LNG liquid or gaseous emission to atmospheric problem. The temperature signal in the overflow cylinder is collected to the controller and compared with a target temperature set value arranged in the controller, when overflow does not occur, the overflow cylinder is in a normal temperature state in contact with the environment, when overflow occurs, the temperature of the overflow cylinder is too low, and the controller generates low-temperature overflow alarm.

A straight tube type heat exchange tube 6 is arranged in the shell 1. The shell 1 and the straight tube type heat exchange tube 6 therein are all arranged in a manner of inclining at a small angle with the horizontal direction, so that the hot water or other heat source medium outlet 3 is positioned at a low position and the hot water or other heat source medium inlet 2 is positioned at a high position, and the LNG liquid inlet 120 communicated with the straight tube type heat exchange tube 6 is positioned at a low position and the steam outlet 121 communicated with the straight tube type heat exchange tube 6 is positioned at a high position. The included angle theta between the axis of the shell 11 and the axis of the straight-tube heat exchange tube 6 and the horizontal plane is generally within 30 degrees.
The LNG liquid entering through the LNG liquid inlet 120 is connected with the straight-tube heat exchange tube 6 through the expanding joint 5 and the elbow 7-1 in sequence. The gasified steam out of the straight heat exchange tube 6 is discharged out of the integrated heat exchanger 102 from the steam outlet 121 through the elbow 7-2. Assuming that the diameter of the LNG liquid inlet 120 is R1, the inner diameter of the expanding joint 5 is R2, the inner diameter of the straight-tube type heat exchange tube 6 is R3, the inner diameters of the elbow 7-1 and the elbow 7-2 are R4, and the diameter of the steam outlet 121 is R5, the LNG liquid inlet has the following advantages: r1< R2, R2 ═ R3 ═ R4 ≦ R5, and the inner diameter R5 of the gasification steam outlet pipe 121 can be further expanded according to actual needs to reduce drag.

In this embodiment, the self-pressurization device integrated in the integrated heat exchanger 102 realizes the self-pressurization work with low resistance and high pressurization efficiency by greatly reducing the resistance of the self-pressurization system, timely separating gas from liquid without mixing flow, and improving the liquid inlet efficiency of the self-pressurization device. Meanwhile, the integrated heat exchanger 102 integrates the self-pressurizing device and the gasifier, so that the internal space of the heat exchanger is utilized to the maximum extent, the number of the heat exchangers is reduced, and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is improved.
The control method of the novel marine LNG fuel self-pressurization gas supply system comprises the following steps:
when the pressure of the LNG tank 100 needs to be raised for gas supply, the pressure is raised, and the method comprises the following steps:
the controller 400 collects a pressure signal of the LNG tank 100 through the pressure signal collecting unit 402. The controller 400 compares the pressure value acquired in real time with a target pressure-increasing set value preset in the controller 400, and controls the opening and closing of the remote-control self-pressure-increasing valve 300 through the switch to achieve the target of pressure-increasing starting and pressure-increasing stopping. During self-pressurization, the switch-controlled remote-control self-pressurization valve 300 is in a full-open circulation state, the circulation area is the largest, the resistance of a pipeline and a valve of a self-pressurization system is greatly reduced, and the liquid inlet amount and the self-pressurization efficiency are improved. The pressure of the LNG tank 100 may be freely modified at the controller 400 as desired to achieve various levels of boost.
When the LNG tank 100 needs to be depressurized to prevent overpressure, the depressurization is performed, which includes the following steps:
the controller 400 collects a pressure signal of the LNG tank 100 through the pressure signal collecting unit 402. The controller 400 compares the pressure value acquired in real time with a target pressure reduction set value preset in the controller 400, controls the opening and closing of the remote control gas fuel valve 302 through a switch, and reduces the pressure of the LNG tank 100 by conveying the vaporized gas to the engine 201 to serve as fuel, so as to achieve the purposes of pressure reduction starting and pressure reduction stopping. The LNG tank 100 pressure can be freely modified at the controller 400 as desired to achieve various levels of depressurization.
Before the LNG tank 100 needs to be refilled with LNG liquid, the pressure of the LNG tank 100 needs to be reduced as much as possible, so that the LNG liquid can be more easily filled. The pressure of the LNG tank 100 can be reduced by adjusting the target pressure reduction set value of the controller 400 by using the pressure reduction method described above, so as to facilitate the LNG liquid filling.
When various accidents and emergencies such as but not limited to fire, gas leakage, abnormal hot water supply, low gasifier outlet temperature and the like occur, the controller 400 forcibly stops the pressurization or depressurization function of normal operation and stops conveying low-temperature fuel outwards by a method of forcibly cutting off the switch to control the remote-control self-pressurization valve 300 or the switch to control the remote-control gas fuel valve 302 or the switch to control the remote-control liquid fuel valve 301, thereby realizing the safety protection function of the gas supply system and avoiding the natural gas escape problem caused by overpressure of the LNG tank 100 and the pipeline.
The heat source required for the integrated heat exchanger 102 is external hot water, but when the hot water is insufficient, the LNG liquid flows into the integrated heat exchanger 102, which is likely to cause frost cracking, and the temperature of the normal temperature gaseous fuel outlet 123 of the vaporizer integrated in the integrated heat exchanger 102 is too low, which causes low temperature damage to the engine 201. In order to solve the problem, in the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, the controller 400 collects the operation signal of the engine 201 through the operation signal collection unit 401, and collects the temperature signal of the gas in the normal temperature fuel conveying pipe through the second temperature signal collection unit 404. The remote-control self-pressurization valve 300 is controlled to be switched and controlled based on the real-time collected operation signal and temperature signal, and specifically: when it is judged that the engine 201 is not operated based on the operation signal or that the outlet temperature of the vaporizer is excessively low based on the temperature signal, even if the LNG tank 100 needs to boost the boost pressure, the remote-controlled self-pressurization valve 300 is forcibly turned off and the self-pressurization system is automatically prohibited from operating to avoid the risk of frost crack of the vaporizer.
When the traditional interlocking valve group is switched, the valve is simultaneously switched, and due to the fact that the valve action has the switching travel time, the time period that three interlocking valves are simultaneously in the overlapped opening state exists in the switching period of the interlocking valves, gas fuel (such as a gas buffer tank 103) in an equipment pipeline on and downstream of the interlocking valves in the overlapped time period can escape through the remote control gas fuel valve 302 controlled by the switch. In order to solve the above hidden danger, in this embodiment, when the interlocking control switch control remote control main gas fuel valve 303, the switch control remote control fuel valve 304, and the switch control remote control fuel vent valve 305 are implemented by the controller 400, the controller 400 sets a mode of immediately closing the valve and opening the valve in a delayed manner, so as to avoid the overlapping time of opening the interlocking valve set composed of the switch control remote control main gas fuel valve 303, the switch control remote control fuel valve 304, and the switch control remote control fuel vent valve 305, and avoid the gas escape phenomenon.
An overflow liquid outlet 114 is provided at the maximum filling level of the LNG tank 101, and when the liquid level is too high, the liquid flows from the overflow liquid outlet 114 into the overflow cylinder 104 at a position lower than the overflow liquid outlet 114 by its own weight. The top of the overflow cylinder 104 is provided with an overflow air return opening communicated with an overflow air return opening 113 at the top of the LNG tank 101, and liquid in the overflow cylinder 104 is gasified and then returns to the LNG tank 101 through the overflow air return opening 113, so that the phenomenon that the liquid cannot flow into the overflow cylinder 104 due to the fact that the pressure is held back and the pressure is accumulated is avoided, and the problem that the LNG liquid or the gas is discharged to the atmosphere when the overflow cylinder is full is also avoided. The controller 400 collects a temperature signal in the overflow cylinder 104 through a first temperature signal collecting unit 403, and compares the collected real-time temperature with a target temperature set value preset in the controller 400. When the overflow does not occur, the overflow cylinder 104 is in a normal temperature state in contact with the environment. When the temperature of the overflow cylinder 104 is too low when the overflow occurs, the controller 400 generates a low-temperature overflow alarm, thereby determining whether the LNG tank 101 is overfilled.
The number of the gas engines 201 may be 1, may be plural, or may be other gas consuming devices. The LNG tank can only comprise one set of joint 101 welded on the LNG tank and an internal gas supply system, and can also comprise a plurality of sets of mutually independent joint 101 adopting the same gas supply principle and an internal gas supply system. The controller 400 may have only one controller, and the controller 400 may have a redundant function or no redundant function, or may be a plurality of independent controllers having process control and safety protection functions, respectively. Each signal source collected by the controller 400 may be provided by one sensor, or may be provided by a plurality of sensors that are redundant or independent of each other.
