Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a watercraft and a method for adjusting a pressure of a tank in a watercraft.
- PTL 1 discloses a configuration for transporting dry ice precipitated by spraying liquid carbon dioxide in a shipyard.
- PTL 2 discloses that carbon dioxide is transported in a state of compressed carbon dioxide gas at room temperature (for example, 0°C to 30°C) under a tank pressure of 15 kg/cm 2 .
- the liquefied carbon dioxide may solidify to generate dry ice for the following reasons. That is, the pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide in the tank corresponds to a tank operating pressure. In the liquefied carbon dioxide, the pressure at the triple point (triple point pressure) at which the gas phase, the liquid phase, and the solid phase coexist is higher than the triple point pressure of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and may reach the triple point when the tank is depressurized during operation.
- LNG liquefied natural gas
- LPG liquefied petroleum gas
- the tank operating pressure (tank design pressure) is set such that the pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide does not fall below the triple point pressure.
- the tank operating pressure is set to be significantly higher than the triple point pressure of liquefied carbon dioxide
- the tank itself and the pipes connected to the tank have to have a pressure-resistant structure according to the tank operating pressure (tank design pressure), which leads to an increase in cost.
- the dynamic pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide is increased according to the flow velocity of the liquefied carbon dioxide, and the static pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide is decreased. Due to the decrease in the static pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide in the tank generated in this manner, there is a possibility that the liquefied carbon dioxide solidifies in the tank to generate dry ice.
- the density of dry ice is higher than that of the liquefied carbon dioxide, in a case where the dry ice is formed in the tank, the dry ice settles and is accumulated on a tank bottom portion, and thus there is a possibility that it may take time for the dry ice to sublimate even after the pressure in the tank is restored.
- the present disclosure has been made in order to solve the above subject, and has an object to provide a watercraft and a method for adjusting the pressure of the tank in the watercraft which can suppress the generation of the dry ice and smoothly operate the tank.
- a watercraft in order to solve the above subject, includes a hull, a tank, and a carbon dioxide injection unit.
- the tank is provided in the hull.
- the tank stores liquefied carbon dioxide.
- the carbon dioxide injection unit is provided in the hull.
- the carbon dioxide injection unit is capable of injecting carbon dioxide gas which has a higher temperature and a higher pressure than those of carbon dioxide in the tank, into the tank.
- a method for adjusting a pressure of a tank in a watercraft is a method for adjusting the pressure of the tank in the watercraft described above, and includes a step of acquiring information, and a step of injecting the carbon dioxide gas into the tank.
- the step of acquiring the information at least one of information regarding a pressure in the tank, and information regarding shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide stored in the tank is acquired.
- the step of injecting the carbon dioxide gas into the tank the carbon dioxide gas is injected into the tank by the carbon dioxide injection unit on the basis of the acquired information.
- the watercraft and the method for adjusting the pressure of the tank in the watercraft according to the present disclosure it is possible to suppress the generation of the dry ice and smoothly operate the tank.

- [PTL 1]
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. H5-180394 - [PTL 2]
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-125039 - Incidentally, in a case where the liquefied carbon dioxide is accommodated in the tank provided in the hull, the liquefied carbon dioxide may solidify to generate dry ice for the following reasons. That is, the pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide in the tank corresponds to a tank operating pressure. In the liquefied carbon dioxide, the pressure at the triple point (triple point pressure) at which the gas phase, the liquid phase, and the solid phase coexist is higher than the triple point pressure of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and may reach the triple point when the tank is depressurized during operation.
- When the pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide is equal to or lower than the triple point pressure, flash evaporation of the liquefied carbon dioxide may occur. Then, due to the latent heat of evaporation of the flash evaporation of the liquefied carbon dioxide, a decrease in temperature of the liquefied carbon dioxide remaining without evaporation occurs, and there is a possibility that the liquefied carbon dioxide solidifies in the tank to generate dry ice. Therefore, the tank operating pressure (tank design pressure) is set such that the pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide does not fall below the triple point pressure. However, in a case where the tank operating pressure is set to be significantly higher than the triple point pressure of liquefied carbon dioxide, the tank itself and the pipes connected to the tank have to have a pressure-resistant structure according to the tank operating pressure (tank design pressure), which leads to an increase in cost.
- Further, for example, in a case where the liquefied carbon dioxide in the tank shakes due to the swing of the hull, the dynamic pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide is increased according to the flow velocity of the liquefied carbon dioxide, and the static pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide is decreased. Due to the decrease in the static pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide in the tank generated in this manner, there is a possibility that the liquefied carbon dioxide solidifies in the tank to generate dry ice.
- Since the density of dry ice is higher than that of the liquefied carbon dioxide, in a case where the dry ice is formed in the tank, the dry ice settles and is accumulated on a tank bottom portion, and thus there is a possibility that it may take time for the dry ice to sublimate even after the pressure in the tank is restored.
- The present disclosure has been made in order to solve the above subject, and has an object to provide a watercraft and a method for adjusting the pressure of the tank in the watercraft which can suppress the generation of the dry ice and smoothly operate the tank.
- In order to solve the above subject, a watercraft according to the present disclosure includes a hull, a tank, and a carbon dioxide injection unit. The tank is provided in the hull. The tank stores liquefied carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide injection unit is provided in the hull. The carbon dioxide injection unit is capable of injecting carbon dioxide gas which has a higher temperature and a higher pressure than those of carbon dioxide in the tank, into the tank.
- A method for adjusting a pressure of a tank in a watercraft according to the present disclosure is a method for adjusting the pressure of the tank in the watercraft described above, and includes a step of acquiring information, and a step of injecting the carbon dioxide gas into the tank. In the step of acquiring the information, at least one of information regarding a pressure in the tank, and information regarding shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide stored in the tank is acquired. In the step of injecting the carbon dioxide gas into the tank, the carbon dioxide gas is injected into the tank by the carbon dioxide injection unit on the basis of the acquired information.

tank 10 is provided in thehull 2. A plurality oftanks 10 are disposed in thecargo space 8 along the bow-stern direction FA. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, twotanks 10 are disposed at an interval in the bow-stern direction FA. As illustrated inFig. 2 , thetank 10 stores liquefied carbon dioxide L inside thetank 10. The pressure in thetank 10 is, for example, about 0.55 to 2.0 MPaG. The temperature of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10 is, for example, about -50°C to -20°C. - The

Thetubular portion 12 extends in the horizontal direction as a longitudinal direction.

Thetank 10 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and thetank 10 may have a spherical shape, a square shape, or the like. - As illustrated in
Fig. 2 , the carbondioxide injection unit 20 is configured to be capable of injecting carbon dioxide gas G having a higher temperature and a higher pressure than those of the carbon dioxide (liquid phase 10a andgas phase 10b) in thetank 10, into thetank 10.

The carbondioxide injection unit 20 includes agas tank 21, afirst injection pipe 22, asecond injection pipe 23, apressure sensor 24, anacceleration sensor 25, and acontrol device 60. - The

The temperature of the carbon dioxide gas G stored in thegas tank 21 is room temperature, for example, about 15°C to 45°C. Since thegas tank 21 accommodates the carbon dioxide gas G at room temperature, thegas tank 21 does not necessarily have to be heat-resistant. Thegas tank 21 may be provided in thecargo space 8, or may be appropriately provided in another place such as above theupper deck 5. - Each of the

The base end portion of thefirst injection pipe 22 and the base end portion of thesecond injection pipe 23 are respectively connected to thegas tank 21.

In this embodiment, theacceleration sensor 25 detects the acceleration caused by the shaking of thehull 2, as the information regarding the shaking of theliquid phase 10a in thetank 10. Theacceleration sensor 25 detects, for example, the acceleration caused by the shaking (pitching) of thehull 2 in the bow-stern direction FA and the shaking (rolling) of thehull 2 in the watercraft width direction. Theacceleration sensor 25 may be provided at a plurality of places on thehull 2. Theacceleration sensor 25 outputs the detected acceleration data toward thecontrol device 60. - As illustrated in
Fig. 3 , thecontrol device 60 is a computer that includes a central processing unit (CPU) 61, a read only memory (ROM) 62, a random access memory (RAM) 63, a hard disk drive (HDD) 64, and asignal receiving module 65. Thesignal receiving module 65 receives the detection signal from thepressure sensor 24 and theacceleration sensor 25. - As illustrated in
Fig. 4 , theCPU 61 of thecontrol device 60 executes a program stored in theHDD 64, theROM 62, or the like in advance to realize a functional configuration of each of asignal input unit 70, adetermination unit 71, an opening andclosing control unit 72, and anoutput unit 75. - The
signal input unit 70 receives the detection signal from thepressure sensor 24 and theacceleration sensor 25, that is, data of the detection value of the pressure of thegas phase 10b in thetank 10 and the data of the detection value of the acceleration generated by the shaking of thehull 2, via thesignal receiving module 65. - The
determination unit 71 determines the necessity of the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G from thegas tank 21 to thetank 10, on the basis of the detection signals from thepressure sensor 24 and theacceleration sensor 25 received by thesignal input unit 70. - The opening and
closing control unit 72 controls opening and closing of the opening-closingvalve 22v and opening and closing of the opening-closingvalve 23v on the basis of the determination result of the necessity of the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G in thedetermination unit 71. The opening andclosing control unit 72 sends a control signal for opening and closing the opening-closingvalves output unit 75. - The
output unit 75 outputs the control signal sent from the opening andclosing control unit 72 to the opening-closingvalve 22v and the opening-closingvalve 23v. - As illustrated in
Fig. 5 , a method S1 for adjusting the pressure of thetank 10 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a step S2 of acquiring information, a step S3 of determining the necessity of the injection, a step S4 of injecting the carbon dioxide gas into the tank, and a step S5 of stopping the injection of the carbon dioxide gas. - In step S2 of acquiring information, the
control device 60 acquires detection signals from thepressure sensor 24 and theacceleration sensor 25. The detection signals from thepressure sensor 24 and theacceleration sensor 25 are received by thesignal input unit 70. Thecontrol device 60 acquires the detection value of the pressure of thegas phase 10b in thetank 10 from thepressure sensor 24, as the information regarding the pressure in thetank 10. Thecontrol device 60 acquires the detection value of the acceleration due to the shaking of thehull 2 from theacceleration sensor 25, as the information regarding the shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10. - In step S3 of determining the necessity of the injection, the
control device 60 determines the necessity of the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G from thegas tank 21 to thetank 10 by thedetermination unit 71. Thedetermination unit 71 determines the necessity of the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G on the basis of at least one of the information regarding the pressure in thetank 10 acquired in step S2 and the information regarding the shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10. - For example, in a case where the pressure in the
tank 10 is equal to or lower than a predetermined pressure lower limit value, thedetermination unit 71 determines that the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10 is necessary. The predetermined pressure lower limit value is set to be equal to or higher than the triple point pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide L. Furthermore, for example, in a case where the acceleration generated in thehull 2 is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value, thedetermination unit 71 determines that the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10 is necessary. - Here, a state in which the acceleration generated in the
hull 2 is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value is a state in which the shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10 is equal to or greater than a predetermined level. In a state where the shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10 is equal to or greater than a predetermined level in this manner, there is a possibility that the shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10 causes a decrease in the static pressure in the tank, and thus the liquefied carbon dioxide L in the tank solidifies. In other words, for example, in a case where the acceleration generated in thehull 2 is smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the solidification of the liquefied carbon dioxide L caused by the shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10 does not substantially occur. - That is, for example, in a case where the acceleration generated in the
hull 2 is equal to or higher than the threshold value even in a case where the pressure in thetank 10 is not equal to or lower than the pressure lower limit value, thedetermination unit 71 determines that the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10 is necessary. Then, even in a case where the acceleration generated in thehull 2 is not equal to or higher than the threshold value, in a case where the pressure in thetank 10 is equal to or lower than the pressure lower limit value, thedetermination unit 71 determines that the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10 is necessary. In a case where the pressure in thetank 10 is equal to or lower than the pressure lower limit value and the acceleration generated in thehull 2 is equal to or higher than the threshold value, thedetermination unit 71 may determine that the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10 is necessary. Further, thedetermination unit 71 may determine the necessity of the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G on the basis of a map, a table, a mathematical formula, or the like that is set in advance on the basis of a correlation between the pressure in thetank 10 and the acceleration generated in thehull 2. - In a case where it is determined as a result of the determination in step S3 that the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G into the
tank 10 is not necessary ("No" inFig. 5 ), the processing returns to step S2 described above. On the other hand, in a case where it is determined as a result of the determination in step S3 that the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10 is necessary ("Yes" inFig. 5 ), the processing proceeds to step S4 of injecting the carbon dioxide gas into the tank. - In the step S4 of injecting the carbon dioxide gas into the tank, the carbon dioxide gas G is injected from the
gas tank 21 to thetank 10. For this purpose, the opening andclosing control unit 72 outputs a control signal for opening the opening-closingvalves valves output unit 75. - Here, the opening and
closing control unit 72 may open both the opening-closingvalves gas tank 21 to thetank 10 through both thefirst injection pipe 22 and thesecond injection pipe 23. Further, the opening andclosing control unit 72 may open only the opening-closingvalve 22v, and inject the carbon dioxide gas G from thegas tank 21 into thegas phase 10b of thetank 10 through only thefirst injection pipe 22. The opening andclosing control unit 72 may further open only the opening-closingvalve 23v, and inject the carbon dioxide gas G from thegas tank 21 into theliquid phase 10a at the bottom portion of thetank 10 through only thesecond injection pipe 23. - In a case where the carbon dioxide gas G is injected into the
tank 10, since the carbon dioxide gas G has a higher temperature and a higher pressure than the carbon dioxide (including both theliquid phase 10a and thegas phase 10b) in thetank 10, the temperature and the pressure in thetank 10 are increased. In a case where the dry ice D is generated in thetank 10, the dry ice D is sublimated by the increase in the temperature and the pressure in thetank 10. - In step S5 of stopping the injection of the carbon dioxide gas, in a case where an injection end condition set in advance is satisfied, the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G from the
gas tank 21 to thetank 10 is stopped. For example, in a case where the pressure in thetank 10 detected by thepressure sensor 24 exceeds the pressure lower limit value or in a case where the pressure in thetank 10 detected by thepressure sensor 24 exceeds a set value set to be equal to or higher than the pressure lower limit value, thecontrol device 60 stops the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G. When the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G is stopped, the opening andclosing control unit 72 outputs a control signal for closing the opening-closingvalves valves output unit 75. In a case where the opening-closingvalves gas tank 21 to thetank 10 is stopped. In a case where the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G in the step S5 is stopped, the processing returns to step S2, and the series of steps described above is repeated. - The
watercraft 1 of the embodiment described above includes thehull 2; thetank 10 that is provided in thehull 2, and stores the liquefied carbon dioxide L; and the carbondioxide injection unit 20 that is provided in thehull 2, and is capable of injecting the carbon dioxide gas G having a higher temperature and a higher pressure than those of the carbon dioxide (liquid phase 10a andgas phase 10b) in thetank 10, into thetank 10. - With such a
watercraft 1, in a case where the dry ice D is generated in the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10, the carbon dioxide gas G can be injected into thetank 10 by the carbondioxide injection unit 20. Since the carbon dioxide gas G has a higher temperature and a higher pressure than those of the carbon dioxide (including both theliquid phase 10a and thegas phase 10b) in thetank 10, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the pressure in thetank 10. In addition, in a case where the dry ice D has been generated in thetank 10, the dry ice D can be sublimated by the carbon dioxide gas G. - Therefore, it is possible to suppress the generation of the dry ice D and smoothly operate the
tank 10. - In the
watercraft 1 of the embodiment described above, the carbondioxide injection unit 20 is further configured to be capable of injecting the carbon dioxide gas G into thegas phase 10b of the carbon dioxide in thetank 10. - Therefore, it is possible to immediately increase the pressure in the
tank 10 by injecting the carbon dioxide gas G into thegas phase 10b of the carbon dioxide in thetank 10 by the carbondioxide injection unit 20. - In the
watercraft 1 of the embodiment described above, the carbondioxide injection unit 20 is further configured to be capable of injecting the carbon dioxide gas G into theliquid phase 10a of the carbon dioxide in thetank 10. - Therefore, in a case where the dry ice D has been generated in the
liquid phase 10a of the carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide gas G can be sent around the dry ice D by injecting the carbon dioxide gas G into theliquid phase 10a of the carbon dioxide in thetank 10 by the carbondioxide injection unit 20. Then, theliquid phase 10a of the carbon dioxide around the dry ice D is gasified by the injected carbon dioxide gas G, so that the pressure in thetank 10 can be increased, and the sublimation of the dry ice D can be promoted. - Further, in the embodiment described above, the
tip portion 23s of thesecond injection pipe 23 of the carbondioxide injection unit 20 is open into theliquid phase 10a (liquefied carbon dioxide L) in thetank 10 at the bottom portion of thetank 10. - For example, in a case where the dry ice D is generated in the
tank 10, the dry ice D has a higher density than the liquefied carbon dioxide, and therefore tends to be accumulated on the bottom portion of thetank 10. On the other hand, as described above, since thetip portion 23s of thesecond injection pipe 23 of the carbondioxide injection unit 20 is open at the bottom portion of thetank 10, the carbon dioxide gas G can be injected to a position closer to the dry ice D accumulated on the bottom portion, and thus it is possible to quickly sublimate the dry ice D accumulated on the bottom portion. - In the
watercraft 1 of the embodiment described above, in a case where the pressure in thetank 10 is equal to or lower than the pressure lower limit value set to be equal to or higher than the triple point pressure of the liquefied carbon dioxide L, the carbondioxide injection unit 20 further injects the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10. - In this way, in a case where the pressure in the
tank 10 is equal to or lower than the pressure lower limit value so that the dry ice D is likely to be generated in thetank 10, it is possible to suppress the generation of the dry ice D in thetank 10 by injecting the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10. - In the
watercraft 1 of the embodiment described above, in a case where the shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10 is equal to or greater than a predetermined level, the carbon dioxide gas G is injected into thetank 10. - Therefore, in a case where the shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in the
tank 10 is equal to or greater than a predetermined level, it is possible to increase the pressure in thetank 10, and thereby it is possible to suppress the generation of the dry ice D in thetank 10. - The method S1 for adjusting the pressure of the
tank 10 of the embodiment described above includes the step S2 of acquiring at least one of the information regarding the pressure in thetank 10 and the information regarding the shaking of the liquefied carbon dioxide L stored in thetank 10, and the step S4 of injecting the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10 by the carbondioxide injection unit 20 on the basis of the acquired information. - In this way, since it is possible to inject the carbon dioxide gas G into the
tank 10 on the basis of the pressure in thetank 10 and the shaking state of the liquefied carbon dioxide stored in thetank 10, it is possible to suppress the generation of the dry ice D, and it is possible to smoothly operate thetank 10. - Above, the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the specific configuration is not limited to the embodiments, and includes design changes and the like within a scope not departing from the gist of the present disclosure.

watercraft 1 of the embodiment described above, thefirst injection pipe 22 and thesecond injection pipe 23 are provided, but only one of thefirst injection pipe 22 and thesecond injection pipe 23 may be provided. - The
watercraft 1 of the embodiment described above includes thepressure sensor 24 in order to acquire the information regarding the pressure in thetank 10, but not only the pressure in thetank 10, but also the temperature of thegas phase 10b in thetank 10 may be detected, and the necessity of the injection of the carbon dioxide gas G into thetank 10 may be determined on the basis of the pressure and the temperature in thetank 10. - The
watercraft 1 of the embodiment described above includes theacceleration sensor 25 in order to acquire the information regarding the shaking (sloshing) of theliquid phase 10a in thetank 10, but any configuration that can detect the shaking of theliquid phase 10a in thetank 10 may be used, and for example, the displacement of the liquid level of theliquid phase 10a in thetank 10 may be detected. - In the procedure of the method for adjusting the pressure of the tank described above, specific determination contents, the order of procedures, and the like can be appropriately changed.
