Description

- Conventionally, in a ship such as a liquefied gas carrier, a shipboard pipe for a cryogenic fluid is routed on the hull (see Patent Literature 1, for example).
- PTL 1:
Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application Publication No. 2017-202783 - There is a case where a hydraulically driven valve is located on the shipboard pipe. In this case, if hydraulic oil is leaked from the valve, the leaked hydraulic oil may flow along the hull into the sea.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a part of a ship according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. -
FIG. 1 shows a ship 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The ship 1 includes ahull 2 and ashipboard pipe 3 for a cryogenic fluid. Theshipboard pipe 3 is routed on thehull 2. - In the present embodiment, the cryogenic fluid is liquefied gas. For example, the liquefied gas is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG, about -45°C), liquefied ethylene gas (LEG, about -100°C), liquefied natural gas (LNG, about -160°C), liquefied oxygen (LO2, about -180°C), liquefied hydrogen (LH2, about -250°C), or liquefied helium (LHe, about - 270°C).
- However, the cryogenic fluid need not be liquefied gas, but may be a different liquid. Alternatively, the cryogenic fluid may be a gaseous body.
- For example, the ship 1 is a liquefied gas carrier. In this case, one or more cargo tanks are mounted on the
hull 2, and theshipboard pipe 3 is a cargo pipe extending from (each of) the cargo tank(s). - The
shipboard pipe 3 may be a double pipe including an inner pipe and an outer pipe, between which there is a thermal insulation layer. The thermal insulation layer is, for example, a vacuum layer, a pseudo-vacuum layer, a powder layer filled with powder having low thermal conductivity, or a gas layer filled with gas having low thermal conductivity. Alternatively, theshipboard pipe 3 may be a single pipe around with a thermal insulating material is wound. The double pipe whose thermal insulation layer is a vacuum layer or a pseudo-vacuum layer is suitable for, for example, liquefied hydrogen, which has an extremely low temperature. The double pipes of the other types, and the single pipe around with a thermal insulating material is wound, are suitable for, for example, LNG, which has a higher temperature than liquefied hydrogen. - A
coupling 31 for connection to apipe 9 of another facility is located at an end of theshipboard pipe 3. Thepipe 9 of the other facility is, for example, a pipe of an on-land facility or a supply pipe of a bunkering ship. - In
FIG. 1 , the left-right direction is the ship width direction, and the direction orthogonal to the plane ofFIG. 1 is the ship length direction. In the present embodiment, near the end of theshipboard pipe 3, theshipboard pipe 3 extends in the ship width direction. - A
liquid receiver 5 is located above thehull 2. Theliquid receiver 5 is a receiver to receive the liquefied gas that flows out of the end of theshipboard pipe 3 in a case where theshipboard pipe 3 is emergently separated from thepipe 9 of the other facility at thecoupling 31. In the case where theshipboard pipe 3 is emergently separated from thepipe 9, although theshipboard pipe 3 is blocked by an unshown shutoff valve, the liquefied gas remaining in a part of theshipboard pipe 3, the part extending from the shutoff valve to the end of theshipboard pipe 3, partially flows out. - The
liquid receiver 5 includes abottom wall 51 and aperipheral wall 52. Theperipheral wall 52 rises from the peripheral edge of thebottom wall 51. For example, the shape of theliquid receiver 5 when seen in a plan view is rectangular. Alternatively, the shape of theliquid receiver 5 when seen in a plan view may be circular. - An
ocean disposal pipe 6 to dispose of the liquefied gas received by theliquid receiver 5 into the ocean extends from theliquid receiver 5. In the present embodiment, theocean disposal pipe 6 includes a vertical portion and a disposing portion. The vertical portion extends downward from theliquid receiver 5. The disposing portion extends horizontally from the lower end of the vertical portion, and then bends downward. - A
valve 61 and aswivel joint 62 are located on the vertical portion of theocean disposal pipe 6, and theswivel joint 62 is located below thevalve 61. Theswivel joint 62 is a joint that enables turning of the disposing portion of theocean disposal pipe 6. Thevalve 61 may be a manually operated valve, or may be an electrically operated valve. - Specifically, at the time of closing the
valve 61, the disposing portion of theocean disposal pipe 6 is positioned above thehull 2 so as to be parallel to the ship length direction, whereas at the time of opening thevalve 61 to dispose of the liquefied gas into the ocean, the disposing portion of theocean disposal pipe 6 is turned such that the disposing portion above thehull 2 hangs over the ocean. - A hydraulically driven
valve 4 is located on theshipboard pipe 3. That is, opening and closing of thevalve 4 are performed by ON and OFF of the supply of a hydraulic liquid to thevalve 4. In the present embodiment, thevalve 4 is located on theshipboard pipe 3 at a position near thecoupling 31. - A
tray 7 is located above thehull 2 but below thevalve 4. Thetray 7 is a tray to receive the hydraulic oil that is leaked from thevalve 4. - In the present embodiment, the
valve 4 is located at a position away from theliquid receiver 5 in a horizontal direction (in the present embodiment, thevalve 4 is located inward of theliquid receiver 5 in the ship width direction). Thetray 7 is located at a position higher than the position of theliquid receiver 5. Thetray 7 and theliquid receiver 5 partially overlap each other when seen in the vertical direction. - To be more specific, the
tray 7 is rectangular when seen in a plan view. Thetray 7 includes: abottom plate 71; aback plate 72, which is positioned at the opposite side of thevalve 4 from the liquid receiver 5 (in the present embodiment, theback plate 72 is positioned inward of thevalve 4 in the ship width direction); and a pair ofside plates 73, which are positioned at both sides of thevalve 4 in a horizontal direction (in the present embodiment, the ship length direction) orthogonal to the axial direction of theshipboard pipe 3. - In the present embodiment, the
tray 7 further includes aweir 8 on thebottom plate 71. Theweir 8 is positioned between thevalve 4 and theliquid receiver 5. Theweir 8 extends in the ship length direction in a manner to couple theside plates 73 to each other. The height of theweir 8 is set to be lower than the height of theback plate 72 and the height of theside plates 73. - In the ship 1 configured as described above, in a case where the hydraulic oil is leaked from the
valve 4, the leaked hydraulic oil is received by thetray 7. This makes it possible to prevent the hydraulic oil from flowing along thehull 2 into the sea. - Further, since the present embodiment adopts the
liquid receiver 5 and theocean disposal pipe 6, in a case where theshipboard pipe 3 is emergently separated from thepipe 9 of the other facility, the liquefied gas that flows out of the end of theshipboard pipe 3 is received by theliquid receiver 5. This makes it possible to prevent the liquefied gas, which is a cryogenic fluid, from affecting thehull 2. Since the liquefied gas received by theliquid receiver 5 is disposed of into the ocean through theocean disposal pipe 6, the leaked liquefied gas does not remain on the ship, but is safely discharged into the ocean. - In the present embodiment, the
tray 7 includes theweir 8, and thetray 7 and theliquid receiver 5 partially overlap each other. Accordingly, in a case where the liquefied gas is leaked from thevalve 4, if the amount of the leaked liquefied gas is small, the leaked liquefied gas is intercepted by theweir 8 of thetray 7 and evaporates on thetray 7, whereas if the amount of the leaked liquefied gas is large, the leaked liquefied gas overflows theweir 8 to flow into theliquid receiver 5, and is then disposed of into the ocean through theocean disposal pipe 6. On the other hand, in a case where the hydraulic oil is leaked from thevalve 4, the amount of the leaked hydraulic oil is not so large. Therefore, the leaked hydraulic oil is intercepted by theweir 8, and does not flow out into the ocean. Thus, the height of theweir 8 enables both storing the hydraulic oil and allowing the liquefied gas to flow into the liquid receiver. - The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
- For example, it is not essential that the
tray 7 be located at a position higher than the position of theliquid receiver 5. Alternatively, thetray 7 may be located side by side with theliquid receiver 5. In this case, thetray 7 may be funnel-shaped (i.e., circular-shaped when seen in a plan view). Alternatively, thetray 7 may be integrated with theliquid receiver 5 by dividing a part of theliquid receiver 5 from the other part of theliquid receiver 5 by a partition. - In a case where the cryogenic fluid flowing through the
shipboard pipe 3 is a gaseous body, theliquid receiver 5 can be eliminated, and thevalve 4 may be located at any position on theshipboard pipe 3. - A ship according to the present disclosure includes: a hull; a shipboard pipe for a cryogenic fluid, the shipboard pipe being routed on the hull; a hydraulically driven valve located on the shipboard pipe; and a tray to receive hydraulic oil leaked from the valve, the tray being located above the hull but below the valve.
- According to the above configuration, in a case where the hydraulic oil is leaked from the valve, the leaked hydraulic oil is received by the tray. This makes it possible to prevent the hydraulic oil from flowing along the hull into the sea.
- The cryogenic fluid may be liquefied gas. A coupling for connection to a pipe of another facility may be located at an end of the shipboard pipe. The ship may further include: a liquid receiver to receive the liquefied gas that flows out of the end of the shipboard pipe in a case where the shipboard pipe is emergently separated from the pipe of the other facility at the coupling, the liquid receiver being located above the hull; and an ocean disposal pipe to dispose of the liquefied gas received by the liquid receiver into ocean. According to this configuration, in a case where the shipboard pipe is emergently separated from the pipe of the other facility, the liquefied gas that flows out of the end of the shipboard pipe is received by the liquid receiver. This makes it possible to prevent the liquefied gas, which is a cryogenic fluid, from affecting the hull. Since the liquefied gas received by the liquid receiver is disposed of into the ocean through the ocean disposal pipe, the leaked liquefied gas does not remain on the ship, but is safely discharged into the ocean.
- For example, the valve may be located at a position away from the liquid receiver in a horizontal direction. The tray may be located at a position higher than a position of the liquid receiver, and the tray and the liquid receiver may partially overlap each other when seen in a vertical direction.
- The tray may include: a bottom plate; a back plate that is positioned at an opposite side of the valve from the liquid receiver; a pair of side plates that are positioned at both sides of the valve; and a weir positioned between the valve and the liquid receiver. A height of the weir may be lower than a height of the back plate and a height of the pair of side plates. According to this configuration, in a case where the liquefied gas is leaked from the valve, if the amount of the leaked liquefied gas is small, the leaked liquefied gas is intercepted by the weir of the tray and evaporates on the tray, whereas if the amount of the leaked liquefied gas is large, the leaked liquefied gas overflows the weir to flow into the liquid receiver, and is then disposed of into the ocean through the ocean disposal pipe. On the other hand, in a case where the hydraulic oil is leaked from the valve, the amount of the leaked hydraulic oil is not so large. Therefore, the leaked hydraulic oil is intercepted by the weir, and does not flow out into the ocean. Thus, the height of the weir enables both storing the hydraulic oil and allowing the liquefied gas to flow into the liquid receiver.
- For example, the ship may be a liquefied gas carrier. The shipboard pipe may be a cargo pipe.
- For example, it may be a double pipe including an inner pipe and an outer pipe, between which there is a thermal insulation layer.
