Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a liquefied natural gas regasification system, and more particularly to a liquefied natural gas regasification system that vaporizes liquefied natural gas.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a liquefied gas obtained by cooling a natural gas-derived methane-derived gas. Liquefaction of natural gas is advantageous in transportation and storage because it is less volatile in liquid than in gaseous form. Methane, a major component of natural gas, is liquefied when it is cooled down to below -161.5 degrees Celsius under 1 atm. The volume of liquefied methane is about 1/600 of the volume of methane in the gaseous state, The specific gravity is 0.42, which is about half of the specific gravity of crude oil.
To liquefy natural gas with liquefied natural gas, heat is extracted from natural gas and falls below -161.5 degrees Celsius. In this way, it is transported or stored in a liquefied state, and when it is used, it is supplied with heat again to make natural gas in a gaseous state.
A system for converting liquefied natural gas into gaseous natural gas is called a liquefied natural gas regeneration system. Such a liquefied natural gas regasification system may be installed onshore, but it is beneficial in terms of utilization to allow the retrofit system to be installed on the ocean. This is because, if the liquefied natural gas is regenerated and made into natural gas near the demand point of the natural gas, it can supply the natural gas quickly while maintaining the short transportation distance. For this purpose, there is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification vessel (LNG-RV (Regasification Vessel)) equipped with a revitalization system on the ship, floating storage and regasification (FSRU Unit).
Thus, in the ocean re-gasification system, seawater is used as a heat source for vaporizing liquefied natural gas. However, when sea water is used, there is a problem that corrosion due to salt is generated a lot. Corrosion of the vaporizer by saline greatly reduces the durability of the regasification system.
In addition, depending on the seasons and the environment, it is not possible to regenerate liquefied natural gas properly with the heat obtained from seawater. In such a case, a heat source provided from a ship equipped with a regeneration system may be used. However, as the temperature of the seawater is increased by adding the heat of the heat source to the seawater, scale generation is further activated in the line or the heat exchanger channel through which the seawater flows and the heat exchange performance is deteriorated.
In addition, there is a problem that the heat of the heat source is transmitted to the seawater, is further transferred to the working fluid from the seawater, and the heat transfer efficiency is lowered due to heat loss in the course of heat transfer to the vaporizer.
It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to minimize the influence of the sea water used as a heat source for regenerating liquefied natural gas.
Another object of the present invention is to provide the heat provided by the auxiliary heat source for regasification of the liquefied natural gas directly to the working fluid to relatively increase the heat transfer efficiency of the regasification system.
A further object of the present invention is to ensure that the temperature of the working fluid delivered to the vaporizer and regenerating liquefied natural gas is correctly supplied to the set value.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a marine liquefied natural gas regasification system for gasifying liquefied natural gas into natural gas using heat of seawater, comprising: A vaporizer in which a heat of a working fluid flowing along a working fluid line is supplied as liquefied natural gas and is vaporized with natural gas and a stainless steel-based printed circuit board type heat exchanger is used; A first heat exchanger in which heat exchange between the working fluid and seawater occurs and a plate heat exchanger using titanium as a main material is used and a second heat exchanger having an inlet side connected to the first heat exchanger through a working fluid line, The fluid is introduced and the outlet side is connected to the vaporizer by a working fluid line, A temperature control valve connected to the auxiliary heat source supply line for supplying heat of the auxiliary heat source and the auxiliary heat source discharge line for discharging the auxiliary heat source and being controlled in proportion to the auxiliary heat source supply line, A second heat exchanger for supplying heat of the auxiliary heat source when the working fluid requires additional heat and an auxiliary supplied to the second heat exchanger based on state data of the working fluid to provide the heat required by the second heat exchanger, And a controller for operating the temperature control valve for controlling the amount of the heat source.

As the second heat exchanger, a plate heat exchanger or a cell-plate heat exchanger using stainless steel as a main material is used.
The first heat exchanger is connected to a seawater inflow line for supplying seawater pumped by a seawater pump and a seawater discharge line for discharging seawater heat-exchanged in the first heat exchanger.
A working fluid pump for flowing a working fluid is installed at one side of the working fluid line.
Glycol is used as the working fluid.
At least one of the vaporizer, the first heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger is used by being connected in parallel.
delete
Temperature data for controlling the temperature regulating valve is provided by a temperature sensor, which is installed in a working fluid line entering the second heat exchanger to sense the temperature of the working fluid.
A temperature sensor is further provided on the side of the working fluid outlet of the second heat exchanger and the side of the auxiliary heat source and a pressure sensor is further provided on the inlet side of the temperature control valve to provide status data to the controller.
In the liquefied natural gas regasification system for marine use according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
In the present invention, since seawater heat is used but seawater passes through only the first heat exchanger of the re-gasification system and does not pass through the second heat exchanger or the like for utilizing the waste heat, the regeneration system is minimized from being affected by seawater So that the durability of the regenerating system can be improved.
In particular, the vaporizer for vaporizing liquefied natural gas is an expensive product which must withstand high temperature and high pressure. Since the seawater does not pass through the vaporizer, durability can be enhanced, and the durability of the regeneration system of the liquefied natural gas is increased.
In addition, since the printed circuit board type heat exchanger is used in the vaporizer, the size of the vaporizer can be reduced, and the space required for the installation can be minimized, thereby reducing the size of the liquefied natural gas regeneration vessel or the regeneration facility.
In the present invention, since the heat provided from the auxiliary heat source is transferred to the working fluid already heat-exchanged in the first heat exchanger and the working fluid is heat-exchanged with the liquefied natural gas in the vaporizer, the heat of the auxiliary heat source is converted into the liquefied natural gas The energy efficiency of the entire system can be increased.
Further, in the present invention, in transferring the heat from the auxiliary heat source to the working fluid, the temperature of the working fluid heat-exchanged with the seawater is measured, and the temperature information is used in the control section to operate the column of the auxiliary heat source by a required amount The amount of heat can be more accurately transferred to the working fluid, so that the energy can be efficiently used and the vaporization amount designed in the vaporizer and the gas temperature after vaporization can be maintained at a constant level.
In the present invention, since the heat of the auxiliary heat source is transmitted to the working fluid and does not affect the discharge temperature on the side of the sea water line, there is no need to install a sea water recirculation line for preventing the problems caused by the increase in the temperature of the sea water .
