Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a compressed natural gas having arbitrary pressure, economically, saving the power consumption, by compressing liquefied natural gas, pressing into a pressure vessel, and heating the gas to effect the evaporation and expansion of the gas in the pressure vessel. CONSTITUTION:A liquefied natural gas (LNG) pressurized to a definite pressure with a compression pump 4 is introduced through a heat-insulated pipe 6 into an LNG dispenser 7, and pressed into a compressed natural gas (CNG) tank 12. The LNG is heated by the ambient heat (atmospheric heat) or by a forcive heating means, and evaporated and expanded in the vessel to obtain a CNG having a desired pressure.

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.

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.

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.
