Description
The present invention relates to a liquefied natural gas regasification apparatus for directly regasifying liquefied natural gas in ships and offshore structures.
Recently, LNG carriers for delivering liquefied natural gas (hereinafter referred to as 'LNG') are equipped with a separate regasification system to supply natural gas to consumers at sea. In addition to forms, structures that are constructed to carry out the same role by mounting a regasification system on top of offshore structures are also emerging.
The regasification system mounted on such a ship or offshore structure may use various facilities for vaporizing LNG using seawater or other fruits, depending on the method of vaporizing LNG.
In the conventional regasification system, the direct vaporization method using the fruit was mainly applied, but indirect vaporization method using the fruit is recently used due to environmental regulations. As a fruit, an antifreeze such as propane or glycol may be used, and is used in the form of a mixed refrigerant.
For example, the regasification facility of the ship according to the prior art, as shown in Figure 1, the transport pipe of the liquefied natural gas (2) connecting between the storage tank (1) of the liquefied natural gas carrier ship and the land terminal (3) Have
Conventional vessel regasification facility is equipped with a first pump (4) which is mounted to the transport pipe (2) to draw the liquefied natural gas from the storage tank (1), and is mounted to the transport pipe (2) to primary liquefied natural gas It has a

However, conventionally, the system for realizing the regasification by the direct vaporization method after the indirect vaporization method has a heat loss compared to the system using only the direct vaporization method in terms of thermal efficiency.
In general, in the case of the heat exchanger, when the indirect method is applied at an efficiency of about 80 to 90%, there is a heat loss as the number of heat exchangers for transferring energy increases, and there is also a heat loss in the heating medium piping.
On the other hand, when the vaporizer is configured using steam is configured to use only the latent heat of steam due to the problem of internal freezing. That is, since the temperature of the liquefied natural gas is very low in the steam vaporizer, when condensation steam or condensate is stagnated in the heat exchanger region of the steam vaporizer, freezing may occur in the steam vaporizer.
In this case, when the low pressure steam is applied, there is no large loss because the sensible heat of the condensed water by the low pressure steam is small, but if the high temperature and high pressure steam is applied to the conventional vaporizer without any measures to reduce the size of the steam pipe or increase the capacity of the vaporizer, This loss of sensible heat can only be greater.
In addition, if a separate cooling device is used to reduce the temperature of the superheated condensate in order to smoothly discharge the superheated condensate that may be generated after the steam is used for vaporization, it is complicated to prevent re-evaporation when recovering the condensate to the boiler. Facility structural problems may arise, such as requiring equipment.
That is, the temperature of the natural gas vaporized by steam should be designed to always have the temperature of the image to prevent freezing problems inside the vaporizer. In addition, if the amount of vaporized natural gas has a designed flow rate, it will have a temperature at the design level, but if the flow rate becomes small, the temperature of the vaporized natural gas may be overheated to a temperature higher than the design.
This high temperature natural gas is then heat exchanged with the condensation steam, as in the prior art mentioned above, resulting in a higher temperature than necessary, resulting in difficulty in temperature control and unnecessary energy consumption.
If a device such as a heat exchanger using separate cooling water, for example, seawater is used to solve this problem, unnecessary energy consumption and environmental pollution may occur due to high temperature seawater discharge.
Embodiment of the present invention, when the high temperature and high pressure condensate is used for re-gasification by direct vaporization method, the efficient control of the temperature of the vaporized natural gas, the use of high temperature and high pressure condensate and temperature control, smooth condensate recovery by ship and offshore structure It is intended to realize the regasification of liquefied natural gas suitable for.

A regasification device may be provided.
In addition, the present embodiment may include a mixing temperature control unit installed between the steam vaporizer and the natural gas heater to receive the liquefied natural gas bypassed from the regasification line.
