Description

Marine evaporation gas reliquefaction device and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device and a method for reliquefaction of gas, in particular to a device and a method for reliquefaction of marine boil-off gas.
Background
The hydrogen and the natural gas have the advantages of cleanness, environmental protection, economy, high efficiency, flexibility, convenience, rich application scene and the like. In order to facilitate the storage and transportation of hydrogen and natural gas, the hydrogen and natural gas may be brought into a liquid state, i.e. liquid hydrogen and liquefied natural gas (Liquefied Natural Gas, LNG), at a certain temperature and pressure, using compression and cooling methods, which is also the only option for ocean-going transportation.
The offshore liquid hydrogen and the LNG are transported on a large scale through a large liquid hydrogen transport ship and an LNG transport ship respectively, and due to the problems of heat leakage of a liquid cargo tank and the like in the transportation process, the liquid hydrogen and the LNG inevitably generate low-temperature liquid gasification, and boil-off gas, namely hydrogen and BOG is generated. With the increase of the amount of the boil-off gas, the temperature and the pressure of the cargo tank are gradually increased, which can threaten the safe operation of the liquid hydrogen and the LNG carrier. At present, a large amount of evaporated gas is usually used as fuel or directly emptied, so that the utilization rate is low, and a certain carbon emission is caused. Therefore, in order to reduce energy waste and economic loss, the boil-off gas needs to be re-liquefied and recovered.
However, the liquid hydrogen and LNG are low in temperature, the difficulty in liquefying the boil-off gas from normal temperature is high, if the conventional method is adopted for liquefying, the energy consumption is excessive, and the device process is complex. In addition, due to the problem of use, the marine boil-off gas reliquefaction device has many special requirements, such as: the equipment is simple and reliable, and the parts are minimized; the safety of the device is high; the occupied area of the system is small; the method is suitable for running conditions such as ship sloshing and the like and is suitable for severe marine environments; the system is simple to control, quick to start and stop, efficient and intelligent in variable working condition adjustment and the like.
The reliquefaction technology based on the reverse brayton cycle can supercool liquid hydrogen or LNG, then spray back to the liquid cargo tank to directly condense evaporating gas, and also can provide cold energy for the liquid hydrogen or LNG in the storage tank through the large-area gas cold screen, so that the advantage is relatively outstanding, and the liquefied liquid hydrogen or LNG has better market prospect. However, in order to provide larger cold energy, the technology needs to connect multiple groups of expansion and compression integrated machines (an expansion stage, a first compression stage and a first motor) and a two-stage compression mechanism (a second compression stage and a second motor) which are connected in series with each other in parallel, so that the size and the occupied area of the skid-mounted structure are increased, and the synchronous control difficulty and the operation and maintenance cost of the two motors are also increased.
