Example 1
The embodiment provides a self-circulation BOG condensation coupling type low-temperature storage tank, which utilizes LNG with low temperature in the storage tank 100 as a heat exchange medium to realize the condensation recovery of BOG, so that the risk of BOG leakage can be reduced, the cold energy of the LNG can be fully utilized, and the energy utilization efficiency is higher.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the self-circulating BOG condensation coupling type cryogenic tank includes a tank 100, a condensing unit 200, and an output pipe 300.
Wherein, a liquid space 110 for storing LNG and a gas phase space 120 positioned above the liquid space 110 are arranged in the storage tank 100, and an LNG circulating liquid return port and an LNG circulating liquid output port which are communicated with the liquid space 110 are arranged on the storage tank 100.
It will be appreciated that LNG is fed into the liquid space 110 of the storage tank 100 through the LNG circulation liquid return port of the storage tank 100, and is externally fed to other equipment from the LNG circulation liquid outlet port of the storage tank 100. When LNG is heated, BOG is formed in the heated portion, and the BOG is light in weight and stored in the gas phase space 120 of the storage tank 100.
It should be noted that the storage tank 100 is a sealed tank, so that the BOG formed after LNG is heated does not leak to the outside of the storage tank 100, but is stored in the gas phase space 120 of the storage tank 100.
The condensing apparatus 200 includes an LNG circulation liquid input pipe 210, an LNG circulation liquid output pipe 220, and a heat exchange pipe 230 disposed in the gas phase space 120, wherein one end of the LNG circulation liquid input pipe 210 is connected to the LNG circulation liquid output port, the other end is connected to the inlet of the heat exchange pipe 230, one end of the LNG circulation liquid output pipe 220 is connected to the outlet of the heat exchange pipe 230, and the other end is connected to the LNG circulation liquid return port. That is, LNG in the liquid space 110 can flow circularly through the LNG circulation liquid inlet pipe 210, the heat exchange pipe 230 and the LNG circulation liquid outlet pipe 220, and in the LNG circulation flow process, LNG in the heat exchange pipe 230 exchanges heat with BOG in the gas phase space 120, so that BOG is cooled and condensed into LNG, and the LNG flows back into the liquid space 110, thereby realizing BOG recovery.
It will be appreciated that to ensure that LNG can circulate at the desired flow rate, a pump 211 may be provided on either LNG feed line 210 or LNG take-off line 220 to power the LNG flow.
One end of the external pipeline 300 is communicated with the other end of the LNG circulating fluid output pipeline 220, and the other end of the external pipeline 300 is communicated with other equipment.
The self-circulation BOG condensation coupling type low-temperature storage tank provided by the embodiment is characterized in that the heat exchange tube 230 of the condensing device 200 is arranged in the gas phase space 120 of the storage tank 100, and the heat exchange is carried out between the BOG and the BOG in the gas phase space 120, so that the BOG can be condensed and flows back to the liquid space 110 in the storage tank 100, further the in-tank recovery of the BOG is realized, the BOG in the BOG recovery mode is not required to be introduced outside the storage tank, the risk of BOG leakage is reduced, and the safety is higher. In addition, by adopting LNG with lower temperature in the liquid space 110 in the storage tank 100 as a heat exchange medium to exchange heat with the BOG, the cost for conveying other heat exchange mediums is saved, and the economic benefit is improved. Meanwhile, the LNG after heat exchange can be used as the preheated LNG to be continuously conveyed to other equipment through the outer conveying pipeline 300, so that the load of the equipment for heating the LNG later can be reduced, the energy utilization efficiency is improved, and the running cost is reduced.
Optionally, the heat exchange tube 230 may be a corrugated tube, a fin tube, a pitted surface tube or other heat exchange tube type with high-efficiency enhanced condensation, and compared with a traditional light tube, the heat exchange efficiency of the BOG outside the heat exchange tube 230 can be improved, so as to ensure the small temperature difference heat exchange effect between the BOG and the LNG, and also reduce the flow of the required low-temperature LNG.
Further, with continued reference to fig. 1, the self-circulation BOG condensation coupling type cryogenic storage tank further includes a flow rate regulating valve 240, a temperature sensor (not shown), a gas concentration sensor (not shown), and a controller (not shown). Wherein, a flow regulating valve 240 is provided on the LNG circulation liquid input pipe 210 for regulating the input flow of LNG. The temperature sensor is disposed at the outlet of the heat exchange pipe 230 for detecting the temperature of the heat exchanged LNG. A gas concentration sensor is provided in the gas phase space 120 for detecting the concentration of BOG. The controller is in signal connection with the flow regulating valve 240, the temperature sensor and the gas concentration sensor, and can control the opening of the flow regulating valve 240 according to the temperature signal transmitted by the temperature sensor and the BOG concentration signal transmitted by the gas concentration sensor.
Specifically, the controller can obtain the BOG concentration in the gas phase space 120 according to the BOG concentration signal transmitted by the gas concentration sensor, when the BOG concentration is low, the flow regulating valve 240 can be controlled to enable the LNG to continuously enter the heat exchange tube 230 at a low flow rate or enable the LNG to intermittently enter the heat exchange tube 230, meanwhile, the controller controls the time for the LNG to intermittently enter the heat exchange tube 230 according to the temperature signal transmitted by the temperature sensor, so as to ensure that the BOG outside the heat exchange tube 230 can be fully condensed, and the LNG in the heat exchange tube 230 cannot be overheated and evaporated.
It should be noted that, although this control manner may make the heat exchange efficiency of LNG relatively low, the BOG concentration outside the heat exchange tube 230 is generally low, and the condensation heat exchange coefficient does not change greatly, so that the condensation effect of BOG outside the heat exchange tube 230 is not affected.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is ensured to be between-162 ℃ and-190 ℃. Of course, the temperature value is determined according to the design pressure, temperature conditions and the boiling point of LNG under the working conditions.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, a first flow equalizing unit 270 is disposed below the heat exchange tube 230, and the first flow equalizing unit 270 is used for disturbing the BOG below the heat exchange tube 230. By providing the first flow equalizing unit 270, the flow speed of BOG can be increased, so that BOG is condensed more sufficiently.

Example two
The present embodiment provides a self-circulation BOG condensation coupling type cryogenic storage tank, which has substantially the same structure as the first embodiment and is modified only on the basis of the first embodiment. Therefore, only the differences between the two are described herein, and the same structure as that of the first embodiment of the present embodiment will not be described herein.
With continued reference to fig. 3, in this embodiment, a ceiling 400 is disposed in the gas phase space 120 of the storage tank 100 and is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 100, and the heat exchange tube 230 is disposed above the ceiling 400, i.e., by disposing the ceiling 400, the gas phase space 120 is divided into two completely isolated spaces.
The self-circulating BOG condensation coupled cryogenic tank further includes a venturi 500 and a drain 600.
Wherein, venturi 500 wears to locate furred ceiling 400, and the BOG that is located furred ceiling 400 below carries to the top of furred ceiling 400 and heat exchange tube 230 heat transfer through venturi 500. The liquid inlet end of the liquid discharge pipe 600 is penetrated through the suspended ceiling 400, and the liquid outlet end of the liquid discharge pipe 600 is inserted into the LNG in the liquid space 110.
Specifically, after BOG is generated in the storage tank 100, the gas pressure of the storage tank 100 is increased, and the BOG in the storage tank 100 can be introduced into the space above the suspended ceiling 400 by using the suction and injection effect of the venturi tube 500, and is condensed by heat exchange with the heat exchange tube 230 in the space above the suspended ceiling 400 to form LNG, and the LNG can enter the liquid discharge tube 600 and flow back to the liquid space 110 of the storage tank 100 through the liquid discharge tube 600. After BOG condensation, the gas pressure above the suspended ceiling 400 is reduced, forming a low pressure zone, thereby forming a circulation.
By providing the venturi 500, BOG can be concentrated to exchange heat with the heat exchange tube 230, so that BOG can be sufficiently condensed. By inserting the drain 600 into LNG, a gas-phase seal can be formed, ensuring reliability of the operation of the venturi 500 for pumping BOG, and avoiding large fluctuation of the LNG liquid level when BOG is condensed and falls.
Preferably, a plurality of drain pipes 600 may be provided, and by providing a plurality of drain pipes 600, the reflux efficiency of LNG formed after BOG condensation can be improved. In the present embodiment, two liquid discharge tubes 600 are provided, and two liquid discharge tubes 600 are provided at opposite sides of the ceiling 400.
Further, the suspended ceiling 400 has a cambered surface structure concavely arranged downwards, and the liquid drain pipe 600 is arranged at the lowest position of the suspended ceiling 400. Through setting the furred ceiling 400 to the cambered surface structure that the indent was established downwards, can make the LNG that drips on the furred ceiling 400 converge to the position minimum of furred ceiling 400 to flow back to the liquid space 110 of storage tank 100 through the fluid-discharge tube 600 that is located the minimum of furred ceiling 400. This arrangement can improve the LNG reflux efficiency.
