Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a method and system for calculating in real time the run time of a non-refrigerated tank containing natural gas (usually referred to by the acronym GN), comprising a layer of natural gas liquefied natural gas (LNG) and a layer of gaseous natural gas (NGG).
  • GN natural gas
  • LNG natural gas liquefied natural gas
  • NSG gaseous natural gas
  • the meaning of the present invention means the retention time (or storage time) remaining natural gas in the tank before opening the valves of the tank.
  • Liquefied natural gas (abbreviated as LNG) is typically natural gas composed mainly of condensed methane in the liquid state: When it is cooled to a temperature of about -160 ° C at atmospheric pressure, it takes the form of a clear, transparent, odorless, non-corrosive and non-toxic liquid. In a tank containing LNG, it is generally in the form of a layer of liquid, which is covered by a layer of gas ("gaseous sky").
  • LNG fuel is a simple and effective alternative to conventional fuels. From the point of view of CO 2 emission, as well as polluting particles and energy density. More and more players are turning to its use, including road, marine and rail carriers.
  • one of the intrinsic defects of LNG is its quality of cryogenic liquid at atmospheric pressure. This means that LNG must be maintained at a temperature well below room temperature to remain in a liquid state. This implies unavoidable heat inputs into the non-refrigerated LNG tank and thus a rise in pressure in the gaseous layer until the valves of the tank are opened. This rise in pressure limits the duration of autonomy of the LNG in the tank.
  • the duration of autonomy is a parameter that is crucial to know, in order to size the supply chain, and in particular LNG transport and inform the operator in real time of the remaining period of autonomy (from the same way that the duration of battery life is generally communicated to the user).
  • the duration of autonomy is crucial to know, in order to size the supply chain, and in particular LNG transport and inform the operator in real time of the remaining period of autonomy (from the same way that the duration of battery life is generally communicated to the user).
  • the US patent US 7,104,124 discloses a method and a system for calculating the residual amount of a compressed gas in a container and thus the remaining service time when the container is emptied, which duration corresponds to the duration during which the Residual gas in the container may be delivered depending on the rate of use of the gas.
  • the US patent US 7,104,124 does not refer to a cryogenic fluid that evaporates in a cryogenic tank, which therefore contains both natural gas in the gas phase and natural gas in the cryogenic liquid phase.
  • the US patent therefore does not a fortiori not refer to the retention time of the cryogenic fluid evaporating in the tank.
  • the tank can operate in open system (transported in this case by a running vehicle) or closed (transported in this case by a stopped vehicle) or not transported).
  • the method according to the invention is illustrated on the figure 2 .
  • the input data relating to the tank can be in different forms, for example prismatic, cylindrical, or spherical. Its dimensions can typically be of the order of 1.5 m in length and 0.5 m in diameter for a cylindrical vessel.
  • the soup of the tank per valve set pressure is given by the manufacturer of the LNG tank. It is typically of the order of 16 bars for a tank of 300 liters of volume and can even go up to 25 bars.
  • evaporation rate means, within the meaning of the present application, the equivalent volume of liquid that would be evaporated per day because of heat inputs in the case where the tank would be open . It is also a specific value of the tank, usually given by the manufacturer.
  • thermodynamic parameters relating to the GN it is assumed that the liquefied natural gas contained in the tank is divided into a layer of natural gas in the liquid state and a layer of natural gas in the gaseous state. as shown on the figure 1 .
  • Each layer is defined at each instant t by its temperature T liq (t) and T gas (t) (respectively for the layer of LNG in the liquid state and the layer of LNG in the gaseous state) and its composition x iiq (t) and x gas (t) (respectively for the LNG layer and the GNG layer).
  • the gaseous phase i.e., the natural gas layer in the gaseous state
