- The present disclosure relates to a ship.
- The present application claims priority with respect to
Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-229207 filed in Japan on December 19, 2019 - PTL 1 discloses using a cargo pump in discharging liquefied gas stored in a tank from the tank in a ship that carries the liquefied gas as a cargo.
- [PTL 1]
Japanese Patent No. 5769445 - In the configuration described in PTL 1, pressure for pumping the liquefied gas is applied to the pump in addition to the pressure of the liquefied gas stored in the tank. Accordingly, the pump is required to have a large pressure capacity in a case where the pressure of the liquefied gas stored in the tank is high.
- The liquefied gas in the tank may be discharged by applying pressure to the gas phase in the tank from the outside of the tank. However, in this case, the pressure from the outside is applied to the tank in addition to the pressure of the liquefied gas stored in the tank. Accordingly, the tank itself is required to have a large pressure capacity in a case where the pressure of the liquefied gas stored in the tank is high.
- Increasing the pressure capacity of a tank or a pump as described above leads to an increase in cost. Further, an increase in tank size is hindered by the tank itself being required to have a large pressure capacity.
- The present disclosure has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide a ship in which it is possible to enable an increase in tank size while suppressing an increase in cost.
- In order to achieve the above object, a ship according to the present disclosure includes a hull, a main tank, a sub tank, a transportation line, a first line, a second line, a vaporizer, and a pumping unit. The hull has a pair of broadsides. The main tank is provided in the hull. The main tank stores a liquid or gas cargo. The sub tank is smaller in capacity than the main tank and higher in pressure resistance than the main tank. The transportation line is connected to the sub tank. The transportation line has an outboard connection portion. The first line connects the main tank and the sub tank. The second line connects the main tank and the sub tank. The vaporizer is provided on the second line and is not provided on the first line. The vaporizer evaporates a cargo liquid, which is a liquid phase of the cargo, to generate a cargo gas. The pumping unit selects either the first line or the second line to pump the cargo liquid from the main tank to the sub tank. Advantageous Effects of Invention

Then, this cargo liquid L is sent to thesub tank 20 side as it is through thefirst line 40. - On the
sub tank 20 side, on condition that the opening-closingvalves valve 32w is closed, the cargo liquid L sent through thefirst line 40 can be supplied into thesub tank 20. As a result, the cargo liquid L in themain tank 10 can be moved into thesub tank 20 with its liquid state maintained. - By closing the opening-closing
valve 43v, it is possible to block the cargo liquid L sent through thefirst line 40 from being supplied into thesub tank 20. As a result, it is possible to transfer the cargo liquid L from themain tank 10 to a part of thesub tanks 20 without transferring the cargo liquid L to the rest. - Although the cargo liquid L is transferred from one
main tank 10 to twosub tanks 20 in the example illustrated inFig. 3 , the cargo liquid L may be moved to onesub tank 20 or to everysub tank 20. - As illustrated in

sub tank 20 side, on condition that the opening-closingvalve 53v is opened, the cargo gas V sent through thefirst line 40 is introduced into thesub tank 20. - The volume of the cargo gas V generated from the cargo liquid L considerably increases as compared with the state where the cargo liquid L is yet to become the cargo gas V. The pressure in the
sub tank 20 increases when the cargo gas V is introduced into thesub tank 20. As a result, the cargo liquid L is pushed out of thesub tank 20 and discharged to the outside of the ship through thetransportation line 30. - Here, by closing the opening-closing
valve 53v, it is possible to block the cargo gas V sent through thefirst line 40 from being introduced into thesub tank 20. As a result, it is possible to achieve a configuration in which the cargo gas V from themain tank 10 is introduced into a part of thesub tanks 20 without being transferred to the rest. - Although the cargo gas V is sent into two
sub tanks 20 from onemain tank 10 in the example illustrated inFig. 4 , the cargo gas V may be discharged from thesub tank 20 after the cargo gas V is sent into onesub tank 20 or every sub tank 20 (that is, three or more sub tanks 20). - After the cargo liquid L in the
sub tank 20 is discharged as described above, the cargo gas V remains in thesub tank 20. In thesub tank 20, a high-pressure state is maintained by the cargo gas V. With the pressure in thesub tank 20 higher than the pressure in themain tank 10 as described above, the opening-closingvalves valves Fig. 5 . Then, the upper portion in thesub tank 20 and the upper portion in themain tank 10 communicate with each other via the pressurizingline 70, and the cargo gas V in thesub tank 20 flows into themain tank 10. As a result, the inside of thesub tank 20 can be reduced in pressure. - When the cargo gas V in the
sub tank 20 flows into themain tank 10 by thesub tank 20 being depressurized as described above, the pressure of the gas phase in the main tank 10 (cargo gas V) increases. Then, the pressurized cargo gas V pushes down the cargo liquid L positioned below the cargo gas V in themain tank 10. - At this time, in a case where the cargo gas V is generated by the cargo liquid L pumped by the
pumping unit 60 being vaporized by thevaporizer 55 as inFig. 4 , the generated cargo gas V is sent into thesub tank 20 that is not in the process of depressurization as illustrated inFig. 5 . Then, the cargo liquid L in thesub tank 20 into which the cargo gas V is sent is pressurized and the cargo liquid L can be discharged to the outside of the ship. - In this case, by using the pressure of the cargo gas V from the
sub tank 20 reduced in pressure, the pressure applied to the cargo liquid L by thepumping unit 60 is smaller than in a case where thepumping unit 60 performs pumping alone. - In addition, as illustrated in
Fig. 6 , the cargo gas V may be sent from thesub tank 20 in the process of depressurization into the other main tank 10 (main tank 10 on the right side inFig. 6 ) that is not the main tank 10 (main tank 10 on the left side inFig. 6 ) in the process of discharge of thesub tank 20 by thepumping unit 60. To this end, the opening-closingvalves main tank 10. Then, in the othermain tank 10, the pressure of the cargo gas V flowing from the inside of thesub tank 20 into themain tank 10 pushes down the cargo liquid L positioned below the cargo gas V in themain tank 10. As a result, the cargo liquid L is sent out through thefirst line 40 from themain tank 10. After being sent out, the cargo liquid L is sent into the other sub tank 20 (left side inFig. 6 ) that is not the sub tank 20 (sub tank 20 at the center in the left-right direction inFig. 6 ) in the process of depressurization and the sub tank 20 (sub tank 20 on the right side inFig. 6 ) in the process of pumping by thepumping unit 60. - The ship 1 of the above embodiment includes the
hull 2, themain tank 10, thesub tank 20, thetransportation line 30, thefirst line 40, thesecond line 50, thevaporizer 55, and thepumping unit 60. Further, thesub tank 20 is smaller in capacity and higher in pressure resistance than themain tank 10. Thefirst line 40 connects themain tank 10 and thesub tank 20. Thesecond line 50 connects themain tank 10 and thesub tank 20. Thevaporizer 55 is provided on thesecond line 50 and is not provided on thefirst line 40. Thevaporizer 55 evaporates the cargo liquid L, which is the liquid phase of the cargo G, to generate the cargo gas V. Thepumping unit 60 selects either thefirst line 40 or thesecond line 50 and pumps the cargo liquid L from themain tank 10 to thesub tank 20. - With this configuration, on condition that the cargo liquid L is pumped from the
main tank 10 to thesub tank 20 through thesecond line 50 by thepumping unit 60, the pumped cargo liquid L is evaporated by thevaporizer 55 and the cargo gas V is generated. Then, the pressure in thesub tank 20 increases when the cargo gas V generated by thevaporizer 55 is sent from thesecond line 50 into thesub tank 20. As a result, the cargo liquid L in thesub tank 20 is pushed out and discharged to the outside of the ship through thetransportation line 30. Since the cargo liquid L in thesub tank 20 is discharged by the pressure of the cargo gas V pumped from themain tank 10 side in this manner, the cargo liquid L can be pumplessly discharged from thesub tank 20. - In addition, the
sub tank 20 is smaller in capacity than themain tank 10. Accordingly, even if thesub tank 20 is highly pressure-resistant to the pressure of the cargo gas V, pressure resistance can be easily ensured and low-cost manufacturing can be performed as compared with enhancing the pressure resistance of the large-capacitymain tank 10 to the same level. On the other hand, since themain tank 10 is lower in pressure resistance than thesub tank 20, it is possible to easily realize an increase in the size of themain tank 10. In addition, thepumping unit 60 only pumps the cargo liquid L for generating the cargo gas V by vaporization by means of thevaporizer 55. Accordingly, the pumping capacity required for thepumping unit 60 is smaller than in a case where the cargo liquid L is directly discharged from themain tank 10 to the outside of the ship. As a result, thepumping unit 60 can be reduced in cost. - In addition, when the cargo liquid L is pumped from the
main tank 10 to thesub tank 20 through thefirst line 40 by thepumping unit 60, the pumped cargo liquid L is sent into thesub tank 20 with its liquid state maintained. As a result, the cargo liquid L stored in themain tank 10 can be transferred to thesub tank 20. The cargo liquid L transferred to thesub tank 20 is discharged by the pressure of the cargo gas V pumped from themain tank 10 side as described above. In other words, it is possible to discharge the entire amount of the cargo liquid L in themain tank 10 and thesub tank 20 by sequentially repeating the transfer of the cargo liquid L from themain tank 10 to thesub tank 20 and the discharge of the cargo liquid L from thesub tank 20 by the pressure of the cargo gas V pumped from themain tank 10 side. - Accordingly, by means of the ship 1, it is possible to enable an increase in tank size while suppressing a rise in cost.
- The ship 1 of the above embodiment further includes the pressurizing
line 70 that connects the upper portion in thesub tank 20 and the upper portion in themain tank 10 and pressurizes the inside of themain tank 10 by the pressure in thesub tank 20. - As a result, when the upper portion in the
sub tank 20 and the upper portion in themain tank 10 communicate with each other via the pressurizingline 70, the gas phase in the main tank 10 (cargo gas V) is pressurized by the pressure in thesub tank 20. Then, the cargo liquid L positioned in the lower portion in themain tank 10 is pressurized by the pressurized cargo gas V, and the cargo liquid L can be transferred from themain tank 10 to thesub tank 20 through thefirst line 40 and thesecond line 50. In addition, as a result, it is possible to reduce the pressure of the cargo gas V in thesub tank 20. - In the ship 1 of the above embodiment, two or
more sub tanks 20 are connected to onemain tank 10 via thefirst line 40, thesecond line 50, and the pressurizingline 70. - As a result, it is possible to transfer the cargo liquid L from the
main tank 10 by thepumping unit 60 and send in the cargo gas V through thevaporizer 55 with respect to theother sub tank 20 while pressurizing the inside of themain tank 10 by the pressure of the cargo gas V in thesub tank 20 in a part of thesub tanks 20. - In addition, when the cargo liquid L is pumped by the
pumping unit 60 while pressurizing themain tank 10 by the pressure of the cargo gas V in thesub tank 20, the pressure applied to the cargo liquid L by thepumping unit 60 can be reduced as compared with a case where thepumping unit 60 performs pumping alone. As a result, less energy is required to operate thepumping unit 60. - In the ship 1 of the above embodiment, three or
more sub tanks 20 are provided, and themain tanks 10 are connected to each of thesub tanks 20 via thefirst line 40, thesecond line 50, and the pressurizingline 70. In such a configuration, by pressurizing themain tank 10 with the pressure in one of the three ormore sub tanks 20, it is possible to generate the cargo gas V while transferring the cargo liquid L to another of thesub tanks 20 and discharge the cargo liquid L in theother sub tank 20 to the outside of the ship through thetransportation line 30. - In this manner, different processes can be performed in parallel in the
sub tanks 20. As a result, the cargo liquid L stored in themain tank 10 and thesub tank 20 can be efficiently discharged to the outside of the ship. - The ship 1 of the above embodiment further includes the
connection line 80 that disconnectably connects thefirst line 40 and thesecond line 50. - As a result, the cargo liquid L pumped by the
pumping unit 60 can be sent out with either thefirst line 40 or thesecond line 50 selected. - Although an embodiment of the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment and also includes, for example, design changes within the gist of the present disclosure.
- Although two
main tanks 10 and threesub tanks 20 are provided in the above embodiment, the number of themain tanks 10 may be two or more and the number of the sub tanks may be three or more. In addition, although it may be impossible to execute the different processes in parallel, themain tank 10 and thesub tank 20 may be provided one by one. - In addition, the procedure for discharging the cargo liquid L illustrated in the above embodiment is merely an example and can be changed as appropriate.
- <Additional Notes>
- The ship 1 described in the embodiment is, for example, grasped as follows.
- (1) A ship 1 according to a first aspect includes: a
hull 2 having a pair ofbroadsides main tank 10 provided in thehull 2 and storing a liquid or gas cargo G; asub tank 20 smaller in capacity than themain tank 10 and higher in pressure resistance than the main tank; atransportation line 30 connected to thesub tank 20 and having anoutboard connection portion 31j; afirst line 40 connecting themain tank 10 and thesub tank 20; asecond line 50 connecting themain tank 10 and thesub tank 20; avaporizer 55 provided on thesecond line 50, not provided on thefirst line 40, and evaporating a cargo liquid L, which is a liquid phase of the cargo G, to generate a cargo gas V; and apumping unit 60 selecting either thefirst line 40 or thesecond line 50 and pumping the cargo liquid L from themain tank 10 to thesub tank 20. - An example of the
pumping unit 60 is a pump. - As for the ship 1, when the cargo liquid L is pumped from the
main tank 10 to thesub tank 20 through thesecond line 50 by thepumping unit 60, the pumped cargo liquid L is evaporated by thevaporizer 55 and the cargo gas V is generated. The volume of the cargo gas V generated from the cargo liquid L considerably increases as compared with the state where the cargo liquid L is yet to become the cargo gas V. The pressure in thesub tank 20 increases when the cargo gas V is sent into thesub tank 20 from thesecond line 50. As a result, the cargo liquid L in thesub tank 20 is pushed out and discharged to the outside of the ship through thetransportation line 30. - In this manner, the cargo liquid L in the
sub tank 20 is discharged by the pressure of the cargo gas V pumped from themain tank 10 side, and thus the cargo liquid L can be pumplessly discharged from thesub tank 20. In addition, thesub tank 20 is smaller in capacity than themain tank 10. Accordingly, even if thesub tank 20 is highly pressure-resistant to the pressure of the cargo gas V, pressure resistance can be easily ensured and low-cost manufacturing can be performed as compared with enhancing the pressure resistance of the large-capacitymain tank 10 to the same level. On the other hand, since themain tank 10 is lower in pressure resistance than thesub tank 20, it is possible to easily realize an increase in the size of themain tank 10. In addition, thepumping unit 60 only pumps the cargo liquid L for generating the cargo gas V by vaporization by means of thevaporizer 55. Accordingly, the pumping capacity required for thepumping unit 60 is smaller than in a case where the cargo liquid L is directly discharged from themain tank 10 to the outside of the ship. As a result, thepumping unit 60 can be reduced in cost. - In addition, when the cargo liquid L is pumped from the
main tank 10 to thesub tank 20 through thefirst line 40 by thepumping unit 60, the pumped cargo liquid L is sent into thesub tank 20 with its liquid state maintained. As a result, the cargo liquid L stored in themain tank 10 can be transferred to thesub tank 20. The cargo liquid L transferred to thesub tank 20 is discharged by the pressure of the cargo gas V pumped from themain tank 10 side as described above. In other words, it is possible to discharge the entire amount of the cargo liquid L in themain tank 10 and thesub tank 20 by sequentially repeating the transfer of the cargo liquid L from themain tank 10 to thesub tank 20 and the discharge of the cargo liquid L from thesub tank 20 by the pressure of the cargo gas V pumped from themain tank 10 side. - Accordingly, by means of the ship 1, it is possible to enable an increase in tank size while suppressing a rise in cost.
- (2) The ship 1 according to a second aspect, which is the ship 1 of (1), further includes a pressurizing
line 70 connecting an upper portion in thesub tank 20 and an upper portion in themain tank 10 and pressurizing an inside of themain tank 10 by pressure in thesub tank 20. - When the upper portion in the
sub tank 20 and the upper portion in themain tank 10 communicate with each other via the pressurizingline 70 in this manner, the inside of themain tank 10 is pressurized by the pressure in thesub tank 20. Then, the cargo liquid L positioned in the lower portion in themain tank 10 is pressurized by the pressurized cargo gas V, and the cargo liquid L can be transferred from themain tank 10 to thesub tank 20 through thefirst line 40 and thesecond line 50. In addition, as a result, it is possible to reduce the pressure of the cargo gas V in thesub tank 20. - (3) In the ship 1 according to a third aspect, which is the ship 1 of (2), a plurality of the
sub tanks 20 are connected to onemain tank 10 via thefirst line 40, thesecond line 50, and the pressurizingline 70. - As a result, it is possible to transfer the cargo liquid L through the
first line 40 from themain tank 10 by thepumping unit 60 and send in the cargo gas V through thesecond line 50 and thevaporizer 55 from themain tank 10 by thepumping unit 60 with respect to theother sub tank 20 from themain tank 10 while pressurizing the inside of themain tank 10 by the pressure of the cargo gas V in thesub tank 20 in one or more of thesub tanks 20. - In addition, when the cargo liquid L is pumped by the
pumping unit 60 while pressurizing themain tank 10 by the pressure of the cargo gas V in thesub tank 20, the pressure applied to the cargo liquid L by thepumping unit 60 can be reduced as compared with a case where thepumping unit 60 performs pumping alone. As a result, less energy is required to operate thepumping unit 60. - (4) In the ship 1 according to a fourth aspect, which is the ship 1 of (3), the
sub tanks 20 are three or more in number, and a plurality of themain tanks 10 are connected to each of thesub tanks 20 via thefirst line 40, thesecond line 50, and the pressurizingline 70. - With such a configuration, in three or
more sub tanks 20, it is possible to release the residual pressure, transfer the cargo liquid L from themain tank 10, and discharge the cargo liquid L to the outside of the ship in parallel. By sequentially performing these operations between the three ormore sub tanks 20, the cargo liquid L stored in themain tank 10 and thesub tank 20 can be efficiently discharged to the outside of the ship. - (5) In the ship according to a fifth aspect, which is the ship 1 of any one of (1) to (4), the
pumping unit 60 is provided by being connected to thesecond line 50, and the ship further includes aconnection line 80 provided to disconnectably connect thefirst line 40 and thesecond line 50 between the pumpingunit 60 and thevaporizer 55. - As a result, the cargo liquid L pumped by the
pumping unit 60 can be sent out with either thefirst line 40 or thesecond line 50 selected. - According to the ship of the present disclosure, it is possible to enable an increase in tank size while suppressing an increase in cost.
