본 발명은 온도감지장치에 관한 것으로, 특히 LNG운반선의 LNG 탱크 내부 온도를 측정하는 LNG 탱크 온도감지장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a temperature sensing device, and more particularly to an LNG tank temperature sensing device for measuring the temperature inside the LNG tank of the LNG carrier.

현재, 원유 가격의 급격한 상승 및 청정에너지에 대한 수요의 급격한 증가로 액화천연가스 (Liquefied Natural Gas 이하 LNG라 함.)의 수요가 전 세계적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다.At present, demand for liquefied natural gas (Liquefied Natural Gas or LNG) is increasing worldwide due to a sharp rise in crude oil prices and a sharp increase in demand for clean energy.

상기 LNG는 다양한 종류의 운송 수단을 이용하게 되는데, 크게 파이프라인을 이용하는 방법과 LNG운반선을 이용하는 방법이 이용되고 있다.The LNG is to use a variety of transport means, largely using a pipeline and a method using an LNG carrier.

상기 LNG운반선은 고압용기 내에 LNG를 저장 운반하도록 설계되는데, 상기 고압용기는 작은 균열에도 폭발의 위험을 갖는 것으로서, 자칫 대형참사로 커다란 경제 손실로 이어질 수 있는 만큼 그 특성상, 철저한 안전장치의 확보가 요구되고 있다.The LNG carrier is designed to store and transport LNG in a high pressure vessel, and the high pressure vessel has a risk of explosion even in a small crack, and as a result, it is possible to secure a thorough safety device due to its characteristics, which can lead to a large economic loss. It is required.

이때, 상기 LNG는 초저온 상태로 저장 보관되어야 하는데, 이를 위한 LNG의 보온유지 및 온도 분포의 실시간 분석이 매우 중요하다.At this time, the LNG is to be stored and stored in an ultra-low temperature state, it is very important for the real-time analysis of the maintenance and temperature distribution of LNG for this purpose.

따라서, LNG운반선의 LNG 탱크에는 온도를 측정하기 위한 온도감지장치가 구비되어 있으며, 이때 온도감지장치로는 많은 수의 온도센서들이 사용되고 있다.Therefore, the LNG tank of the LNG carrier is provided with a temperature sensing device for measuring the temperature, wherein a large number of temperature sensors are used as the temperature sensing device.

한편 LNG 저장탱크의 벽구조는 이중 방벽 구조로서, LNG가 직접적으로 접촉 하는 제1 방벽인 멤브레인 금속패널이 내측에 구비되고, 그 외측으로 제1 플라이드와, 제1 단열층과, 제2 방벽과, 제2 단열층이 순차적으로 배치된 구조로 되어 있다. 이와 같은 이중 방벽 구조를 갖는 LNG 저장탱크에서 온도센서는 제1 방벽의 외측 및 제2 방벽의 외측에 위치하도록 설치된다.On the other hand, the wall structure of the LNG storage tank is a double barrier structure, in which a membrane metal panel, which is a first barrier to which LNG directly contacts, is provided on the inside thereof, and on the outside thereof, a first fly, a first heat insulating layer, a second barrier, and a first barrier. 2 heat insulation layers are arrange | positioned sequentially. In the LNG storage tank having such a double barrier structure, the temperature sensor is installed to be located on the outside of the first barrier and the outside of the second barrier.

한편 제1 방벽의 내측에 설치되는 온도센서는 LNG 탱크의 바닥쪽에 위치하도록 설치되어 주로 LNG 탱크 내부에 남겨진 LNG의 저장량의 검출 및 제1 방벽의 손상에 의한 LNG의 누출을 감지하는 기능을 제공하게 된다.On the other hand, the temperature sensor installed inside the first barrier is installed to be located at the bottom of the LNG tank to provide a function of detecting the amount of storage of LNG left inside the LNG tank and detecting the leakage of LNG due to damage of the first barrier. do.

도 1은 종래 LNG 저장탱크에 온도센서가 설치된 상태를 나타낸 사시도를 도시하고 있고, 도 2는 제1 방벽의 내측에 온도센서가 설치된 상태를 나타낸 단면도를 도시하고 있으며, 도 3은 코러게이션을 통해 신호선이 배치된 상태를 나타낸 단면도를 도시하고 있다. 도 1 내지 도 3을 참조하면, 상기와 같이 제1 방벽(10)의 외측에 설치되는 온도센서(S1)의 경우, 미도시된 제어부와의 신호전송을 위한 신호선(L)의 배치에 있어서, 제1 방벽(10) 또는 제2 방벽의 손상없이 제어부로 연결될 수 있도록 하기 위해 제1 방벽(10)인 멤브레인 금속패널의 코러게이션(11)에 의해 형성되는 공간을 통해 배선되고 있다. 도면중 미설명 부호 S2는 제2 방벽의 외측에 설치된 온도센서이다.1 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which a temperature sensor is installed in a conventional LNG storage tank, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a temperature sensor is installed inside the first barrier, and FIG.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 고려하여 이루어진 것으로, 본 발명의 목적은 멤브레인 금속패널의 코러게이션을 이용한 신호선의 배치없이 제2 방벽의 외측에만 온도센서를 설치하여 구조를 단순화함과 더불어 보다 안정된 온도제어시스템의 구축이 가능한 LNG 탱크 온도감지장치를 제공함에 있다.The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to simplify the structure by installing a temperature sensor only on the outside of the second barrier without arranging signal lines using the corrugation of the membrane metal panel, and at a more stable temperature. The present invention provides an LNG tank temperature sensing device capable of constructing a control system.

상기와 같이 구성된 본 발명의 온도감지장치의 작용에 대해 설명한다.The operation of the temperature sensing device of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

앞서 설명된 바와 같이 제2 방벽(30)의 외측에 설치되는 온도센서(110)는 제2 방벽(30)을 통해 LNG 탱크(100)의 온도변화를 감지하게 된다.As described above, the temperature sensor 110 installed on the outside of the second barrier 30 detects the temperature change of the LNG tank 100 through the second barrier 30.

통상 LNG 탱크(100)에 LNG 화물을 적재할 경우, 운송과 저장의 편의를 위해 -162℃로 압축, 냉각, 액화시켜 부피를 1/600으로 줄인 극저온 상태로 저장하게 된다. 따라서 LNG 화물의 적재 유무에 따라 온도센서(110)에 의해 감지되는 온도에는 차이가 있으며, 이를 감안하여 온도센서(110)에서 감지되는 온도 변화를 분석함으로써 LNG 화물의 적재여부를 검출할 수 있게 된다.In the case of loading LNG cargo in the LNG tank 100 in general, it is stored in a cryogenic state reduced in volume to 1/600 by compression, cooling, and liquefaction at -162 ℃ for convenience of transportation and storage. Therefore, there is a difference in the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 110 depending on whether the LNG cargo is loaded, in consideration of this, it is possible to detect whether the LNG cargo is loaded by analyzing the temperature change detected by the temperature sensor 110. .

또한 제1 방벽(10) 또는 제2 방벽(30)에 손상이 발생되어 LNG가 누설될 경우 에도 온도센서(110)에 감지되는 온도에는 변화가 발생되며, 이 경우 온도변화폭은 LNG 화물의 적재 여부에 따른 온도변화폭에 비해 크게 된다. 다시 말해 제1 방벽(10) 및 제2 방벽(30)의 손상으로 인해 LNG가 누설될 경우 온도센서(110)에는 최대 -162℃에 근접하는 낮은 온도가 감지될 것이고, 제1 방벽(10)만의 손상으로 LNG가 누설될 경우에는 제1,2 방벽(10,30)이 손상되었을 때 보다는 높은 온도가 감지될 것이며, 그 다음으로 LNG 화물이 이상없이 정상적으로 적재될 경우에는 보다 높은 정상범위의 온도가 감지될 것이다. 따라서 온도센서(110)에서 감지되는 온도를 분석함으로써 LNG 화물의 적재여부나 제1,2 방벽(10,30)의 손상여부를 확인할 수 있게 된다.In addition, even when the first barrier 10 or the second barrier 30 is damaged and the LNG leaks, a change occurs in the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 110, and in this case, the temperature change range is whether the LNG cargo is loaded or not. It is larger than the temperature change range. In other words, when LNG leaks due to damage of the first barrier 10 and the second barrier 30, the temperature sensor 110 will detect a low temperature close to a maximum of -162 ° C, and the first barrier 10 If the LNG leaks due to damage of the bay, a higher temperature will be detected than when the first and second barriers 10 and 30 are damaged. Then, when the LNG cargo is normally loaded without abnormality, a higher normal temperature is detected. Will be detected. Therefore, by analyzing the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 110, it is possible to check whether the LNG cargo is loaded or whether the first and second barriers 10 and 30 are damaged.

한편 펌프(60)에 설치된 보조 센서는 LNG 탱크(100)의 내부에서 직접적으로 온도를 감지하게 되므로, 보다 신속하고 정확한 온도정보를 제공할 수 있게 된다.On the other hand, since the auxiliary sensor installed in the pump 60 senses the temperature directly inside the LNG tank 100, it is possible to provide more rapid and accurate temperature information.

본 발명은 상술한 바와 같이 제2 방벽의 외측에 온도센서들을 설치함으로써, 종래에 비해 단순한 구조로 온도센서의 설치 및 신호선의 배치가 가능하게 되었다. 더욱이 멤브레인 금속패널의 손상에 의한 신호선의 손상을 원천적으로 방지함으로써 보다 안정된 온도감지시스템의 구현이 가능하게 되었다.According to the present invention, by installing the temperature sensors on the outside of the second barrier as described above, the temperature sensor can be installed and the signal lines can be arranged in a simpler structure than in the related art. In addition, it is possible to implement a more stable temperature sensing system by preventing the damage to the signal line due to damage to the membrane metal panel.
