Description
技术领域
本发明涉及一种用于船舶的再液化系统的制冷剂充注系统,且更具体地说,涉及一种充注通过用于再液化船舶中所产生的蒸发气体的系统循环的制冷剂的制冷剂充注系统。
背景技术
天然气(natural gas)的主要成分是甲烷(methane),且作为一种在燃烧期间几乎不或不排放环境污染物的环保燃料,始终备受关注。液化天然气(liquefied natural gas;LNG)是通过在常压下将天然气冷却到约-163℃来使其液化而获得的,且由于其体积为呈气态的天然气的体积的约1/(60)0,因此适合于海上长途运输。因此,天然气以易于存储和运输的液化天然气的形式进行存储和运输。
由于天然气在常压下在-163℃的低温温度下液化,因此LNG存储罐通常为隔热的,以将LNG维持在液态。然而,即使隔热,此类存储罐阻挡外部热的能力也是有限的。因此,由于外部热不断地传递到LNG存储罐,因此存储在LNG罐中的LNG在运输期间不断地自然蒸发,从而导致蒸发气体(boil-off gas;BOG)的产生。
LNG存储罐中的蒸发气体的连续产生增加了LNG存储罐的内部压力。如果存储罐的内部压力超出预定安全压力,那么这可能引起紧急情况,诸如存储罐破裂(rupture)。因此,需要使用安全阀从存储罐排出蒸发气体。然而,蒸发气体是一种LNG损失,且是LNG的运输效率和燃料效率的重要问题。因此,采用各种方法来处置在LNG存储罐中产生的蒸发气体。
最近,已开发出一种在燃料需求地(诸如,船舶的发动机)使用蒸发气体的方法、再液化蒸发气体且将再液化蒸发气体传回到LNG存储罐的方法以及组合这两种方法的方法且将所述方法投入使用。
发明内容
技术问题
在用于再液化船舶中所产生的蒸发气体的再液化循环中,典型可用液化方法包含使用单一混合制冷剂(single mixed refrigerant;SMR)循环的过程和使用丙烷预冷却混合制冷剂循环(Propane-precooled Mixed Refrigerant cycle;C3MR cycle)的过程。C3MR循环是单独使用丙烷制冷剂来冷却且接着使用混合制冷剂来液化和过冷天然气的过程,而SMR循环(Single Mixed Refrigerant Cycle;SMR cycle)是使用由多个成分构成的混合制冷剂来液化天然气的过程。
因此,SMR循环和C3MR循环均使用混合制冷剂。然而,如果混合制冷剂的组成归因于蒸发气体的液化期间的制冷剂损失而改变,那么这可能引起不良液化效率。因此,需要通过不断地测量混合制冷剂的组成且补充缺少的制冷剂成分来维持制冷剂的恒定组成。
用以再液化蒸发气体的替代再液化循环是使用氮气制冷剂的单一循环液化过程。
尽管与使用混合制冷剂的再液化循环相比相对低效,但使用氮气制冷剂的此类再液化循环由于氮气制冷剂的惰性特性而更安全,且由于氮气制冷剂不会发生相变而更容易应用于船舶。使用氮气制冷剂的再液化循环也需要补充氮气制冷剂,因为随着液化过程的进行,氮气制冷剂可能会损失。
图1为用于采用氮气制冷剂的再液化系统的常规制冷剂充注系统的示意性框图。
具有LNG货舱的船舶通常配备有氮气产生装置以产生待供应到船舶的公用N2,包含待供应到货舱中的隔热空间(Insulation space)的氮气。参考图1,通过空气压缩器(Aircompressor,10)和N2产生器(N2 generator,20)产生的氮气存储在缓冲罐(30)中且作为公用N2从缓冲罐供应到船舶。制冷剂充注系统还从缓冲罐(30)接收氮气且将接收到的氮气供应到再液化系统(RS)。
制冷剂充注系统包含:干燥和过滤单元(40),接收公用N2且减小公用N2的露点(dewpoint);增压压缩器(50),压缩公用N2;以及库存罐(60),接收由增压压缩器压缩的公用N2且存储公用N2。
在从再液化循环并未运行的状态到再液化循环正常运行的状态的制冷剂充注过程中,尽管再液化循环并未运行,但制冷剂充注系统从缓冲罐(30)接收公用N2,允许公用N2通过干燥和过滤单元(40),通过增压压缩器(50)压缩公用N2,且将经压缩公用N2供应到库存罐(60)。
在再液化循环开始运行时,再液化系统逐渐加载到正常运行状态,同时用从库存罐供应到再液化系统的制冷剂循环管线的制冷剂连续地充注(load-up)。
当再液化循环达到正常运行时,取决于负载要求,通过用来自再液化系统的制冷剂充注库存罐或从库存罐排出制冷剂来调节再液化循环的负载。制冷剂的充注或排出发生在库存罐与制冷剂循环管线之间,其中取决于库存罐中的情形,可通过用通过干燥和过滤单元(40)以及增压压缩器(50)从缓冲罐(30)供应的额外氮气制冷剂充注库存罐(60)或通过将一定氮气从库存罐排放到外部大气来调整库存罐中的压力。
在对再液化系统进行降载(Load-down)时,氮气制冷剂利用制冷剂循环管线与库存罐之间的压力差从制冷剂循环管线排放到库存罐。当在再液化系统的负载降低到一定水平或更低水平时难以通过压力差从制冷剂循环排出氮气制冷剂时,氮气被发送到增压压缩器的上游侧以再压缩且接着输送到库存罐。另外,常规制冷剂充注系统包含:单独供应管,用以在再液化循环中定期补充由压缩器在再液化循环中消耗的氮气;和单独排气管线,用以在紧急情况下从再液化系统快速排放氮气制冷剂。
本发明的一方面提供一种解决方案,所述解决方案通过减少相关装置的数目实现了更紧凑和简化的制冷剂充注系统,同时确保再液化系统所需的氮气制冷剂的顺利充注或排出。

图2为根据本发明的一个实施例的用于船舶的再液化系统的制冷剂充注系统的示意性框图。
具体实施方式
为了充分了解本发明的操作优点和通过实践本发明实现的目标,应参考附图,所述附图示出本发明的优选实施例和其描述。
在下文中,本发明的示例性实施例将参考附图在其特征和效果方面进行详细描述。应注意,在整个说明书和附图中,相似组件将由相似附图标号表示。
在本文中所使用,术语“船舶”可指具备液化气体存储罐的任何类型的船舶。举例来说,船舶可包含自航船,诸如LNG运输船(LNG carrier)、液氢运输船以及LNG再气化船(regasification vessel;RV),以及非自航浮式海上结构,诸如LNG浮式生产储卸(floating production storage offloading;FPSO)装置和LNG浮式存储再气化单元(floating storage regasification unit;FSRU)。
另外,本发明的实施例可应用于任何类型的液化气体的再液化循环,所述液化气体可通过在低温下液化而以液态运输且可在存储期间产生蒸发气体。举例来说,此类液化气体可包含液化石化气,诸如液化天然气(Liquefied Nature Gas;LNG)、液化乙烷气(Liquefied Ethane Gas;LEG)、液化石油气(Liquefied Petroleum Gas;LPG)、液化乙烯气(Liquefied Ethylene Gas)以及液化丙烯气(Liquefied Propylene Gas)。在以下实施例中,将使用LNG(其为典型液化气体)作为实例来描述本发明。
图2为根据本发明的一个实施例的用于船舶的再液化系统的制冷剂充注系统的示意性框图。
根据这一实施例的制冷剂充注系统意欲有效地将制冷剂充注到船舶的再液化系统的再液化循环(也就是说,制冷循环)中,且响应于再液化循环的负载的变化而有效地补充或排出氮气制冷剂。
再液化系统(RS)通过压缩和冷却从船舶的存储罐中的液化气体产生的蒸发气体来再液化所述蒸发气体,且将再液化的蒸发气体传回到存储罐。再液化系统(RS)包含压缩蒸发气体的压缩器(未示出)、冷却经压缩蒸发气体的热交换器(未示出)、将通过热交换器冷却和再液化的蒸发气体分离成气相和液相的气液分离器等。
制冷剂循环(未示出)包含:制冷剂循环管线(未示出),供应到热交换器的制冷剂沿着所述制冷剂循环管线循环;制冷剂压缩器(未示出),安置于制冷剂循环管线上且压缩在冷却蒸发气体之后从热交换器排出的制冷剂;以及膨胀器(未示出),使由制冷剂压缩器压缩且已通过热交换器冷却的制冷剂膨胀和冷却,且将冷却后的制冷剂供应到热交换器。制冷剂压缩器和膨胀器可通过公共轴杆彼此连接以形成使用来自制冷剂的膨胀的能量来压缩制冷剂的压扩器(compander)。
举例来说,氮气(N2)可用作供应到热交换器同时沿着制冷剂循环管线循环的制冷剂。
根据这一实施例的制冷剂充注系统用以将沿着制冷剂循环管线循环的氮气制冷剂供应到再液化系统(RS)的制冷剂循环或从制冷剂循环排出氮气制冷剂。
参考图2,根据这一实施例的制冷剂充注系统包含:缓冲罐(110),存储待供应到船舶的公用N2;增压压缩器(200),从缓冲罐接收公用N2,压缩接收到的公用N2且将经压缩公用N2供应到制冷剂循环管线;第一加载管线(UL1),公用N2沿着所述第一加载管线从缓冲罐供应到制冷剂循环的制冷剂循环管线而不通过增压压缩器;以及第二加载管线(UL2),公用N2沿着所述第二加载管线通过增压压缩器从缓冲罐供应到制冷剂循环管线。
缓冲罐(110)提供到产生和供应船舶所需的公用N2的氮气产生装置(100),其中氮气产生装置(100)可包含:氮气产生器(120),从经压缩空气产生公用N2且将所产生的公用N2输送到缓冲罐;和空气压缩器(130),压缩空气且将经压缩空气供应到氮气产生器。由氮气产生装置(100)产生的氮气可供应到LNG存储罐的隔热层、供应为用于船上压缩器的密封气体或供应为用于再液化系统的制冷剂。
存储在缓冲罐中的公用N2可从缓冲罐供应到制冷剂循环管线,而不通过将单独干燥器安置在氮气产生装置的氮气产生器(120)的下游以减小公用N2的露点(dew point)或通过增加氮气产生器(120)的含水量相关规格来进一步干燥公用N2。
随着从存储罐排出的待再液化的蒸发气体的量改变,再液化系统所需的冷热的量改变。此处,制冷剂循环管线中的冷热的量和再液化系统的负载可通过以下步骤来控制:通过补充制冷剂循环中的制冷剂或通过从制冷剂循环管线排出一定制冷剂来改变沿着制冷剂循环管线的制冷剂的质量流率,同时将制冷剂压缩器中的压缩功(compression work)与膨胀器中的膨胀功(expansion work)的比率维持在固定值而不调整膨胀器的可变几何喷嘴(Variable Geometry Nozzle;VGN)。
为此目的,制冷剂从缓冲罐(110)供应到制冷剂循环管线所沿着的第一加载管线(UL1)和第二加载管线(UL2)连接到制冷剂循环管线的低压区段,也就是说,连接到制冷剂压缩器(未示出)的上游侧,以补充制冷剂循环中的制冷剂。
另外,根据这一实施例的制冷剂充注系统还包含:第一降载管线(DL1),从制冷剂循环管线连接到缓冲罐,且允许制冷剂沿着所述第一降载管线排出;和第二降载管线(DL2),通过增压压缩器从制冷剂循环管线连接到缓冲罐。第一降载管线和第二降载管线从制冷剂循环管线的高压区段,也就是说,从制冷剂压缩器的下游侧连接到缓冲罐(110)以将制冷剂从制冷剂循环排放到缓冲罐。
在下文中,将详细地描述根据这一实施例的制冷剂充注系统的制冷剂充注过程。首先,在再液化系统的非运转状态下进行初始充注时,当公用N2利用制冷剂循环管线与缓冲罐之间的压力差沿着第一加载管线(UL1)从缓冲罐(110)供应到再液化系统(RS)的制冷剂循环管线时,用制冷剂充注制冷剂循环管线。
当制冷剂循环管线中的制冷剂压力由于制冷剂充注而变为类似于或高于缓冲罐中的压力的水平,使得不可能利用压力差执行制冷剂的任何进一步供应时,来自缓冲罐的公用N2沿着第二加载管线(UL2)由增压压缩器(200)加压且接着供应到制冷剂循环管线。
在制冷剂充注以用于由于再液化系统所需的冷热的量的增加而对再液化系统进行加载(load-up)时,当制冷剂循环管线中的制冷剂压力处于类似于或高于缓冲罐中的制冷剂压力的水平时,来自缓冲罐(110)的公用N2沿着第二加载管线(UL2)由增压压缩器(200)加压且接着供应到制冷剂循环管线以补充制冷剂循环管线中的制冷剂。
相反地,当再液化系统由于再液化系统所需的冷热的量的减小而进行降载(load-down)时,通过利用制冷剂循环管线与缓冲罐之间的压力差沿着第一降载管线(DL1)将一定制冷剂从制冷剂压缩器的下游侧排放到缓冲罐(110)来减小沿着制冷剂循环管线的制冷剂的质量流率。当制冷剂循环管线中的压力由于制冷剂排出而变为类似于缓冲罐中的压力的水平时,制冷剂循环管线中的制冷剂沿着第二降载管线(DL2)发送到增压压缩器(200)的上游侧以由增压压缩器(200)压缩,且接着传回到缓冲罐(110)。
在制冷剂循环的运转期间,制冷剂压缩器消耗氮气。为此目的,提供单独供应管线(RSL)以将氮气从缓冲罐定期供应到制冷剂循环管线。另外,单独N2排气管线(VL)连接到制冷剂循环的制冷剂循环管线以在紧急情况下从再液化系统快速排放制冷剂。
在上文所描述,根据本发明的制冷剂充注系统可降低初始安装成本且可通过消除对单独装置(诸如,用于制冷剂循环的干燥器和库存罐等)的需要而有助于释放船舶中的空间,且可通过使用现有装置之间的压力差将制冷剂充注到再液化系统中/从再液化系统排出制冷剂来确保对再液化系统的负载的顺利控制。
尽管本文中已描述一些实施例,但本发明不限于上述实施例,且可在不脱离本发明的技术精神的情况下以各种修改或变化进行实践,如对于本发明所属领域的技术人员将显而易见。
