本発明は、液化天然ガス(LNG)より圧縮天然ガス(

状態に保つ必要がある。Compressed natural gas (hereinafter referred to as ONG), which is obtained by compressing natural gas to about tSO ~ -〇〇atmosphere, is held in a pressure tank,
Automobiles and other organizations that use it as fuel are being used in Europe, the United States, and other countries because they are non-polluting, safe, and more economical than low-cost fuels such as gasoline and LPG, and their use is increasing. There is a tendency to In Japan, for the above reasons, a'm is used as an alternative fuel such as gasoline and DIP () for automobiles and other engines, or as an alternative to city gas by pipeline supply.
Consideration of the use of a is being conducted in various fields. However, compared to other countries, Japan has fewer natural gas resources, and the reality is that natural gas is introduced from overseas in the form of LIN() (liquefied natural gas). DIG is approximately 1 atmosphere, -/A,
It is introduced in an I+NG tanker in a liquid state of 2c, and is generally heated to room temperature with seawater, etc., and is widely used as natural gas, mainly as a fuel for thermal power generation, and as a raw material for city gas. As a physical property of natural gas, when its volume changes from a liquid state to a gas state, its volume increases by approximately tOQ times, so natural gas is normally transported in a liquid state in a large capacity. However, in order to maintain natural gas in a liquid state, it must be kept at a cryogenic temperature of 116 degrees Celsius under atmospheric pressure.

いられている。Therefore, in order to transport LNG, tankers or storage tanks must be made of materials that can withstand this extremely low temperature, and aluminum, stainless steel, Mi steel, etc. are usually used.
一方、冒頭に記述した如く、天然ガスを液化して輸送、
貯蔵する以外に、ONGとしての輸送。On the other hand, as mentioned at the beginning, natural gas is liquefied and transported.
In addition to storage, transportation as ONG.

供給などがaNaの用途として有望視されている。Storage is possible. Since ONG uses natural gas at room temperature, containers for transportation and storage do not need to be made of cryogenic materials that are required for LlffG.
-Structural strength that can withstand 100 atmospheres is required. Therefore, ONG is not suitable for large-capacity transportation and storage, but it can be used to supply fuel for automobiles and other engines as mentioned above, or gas supply for small and medium-sized housing complexes where it is difficult to construct gas supply pipelines. Promising applications for aNa include provisional gas supply during disasters.

極的に行われている。The future introduction plan for IING in Japan is from 1986.
36 million tons of natural gas is expected to be produced in 2019, and in recent years, consideration has been given to expanding the use of natural gas for purposes other than electricity or city gas, and the development of uses for ONG is being actively undertaken as part of this. There is.

情である。Currently, the method for manufacturing 01iG is to compress natural gas to about 200 atmospheres using a compressor, and then fill it into a pressure container. However, since the compressor compresses a gas body, the power required for the compressor is quite large, and the actual power cost is about 10 times the price of filled natural gas.

Therefore, LNG will be used directly as the aya raw material. That is, LNG is pressurized to a predetermined pressure (4 t) using a pressure increasing means such as a pump, this pressurized LNG is pressurized into a pressure vessel, and by heating this pressure vessel, the LNG inside is vaporized and expanded to 0N. The purpose is to provide an economical method for obtaining ().
