The first heat exchanger is installed on a first pipe(112) to transport LNG in a reservoir of the LNG carrier to a land terminal. The second heat exchanger is installed on a second pipe(122) through which high temperature steam supplied from a boiler(100) of the LNG carrier passes. The third heat exchanger is installed on a circulation pipe(130) interconnecting the first and the second heat exchanger. The third heat exchanger is connected to a waste gas pipe(142), and performs heat exchange between high temperature waste gas and glycol water circulating through the circulation pipe. The glycol water heats up while passing through the third and the second heat exchanger successively.

Description

액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템{REGASIFICATION SYSTEM OF LNGC}Regasification system of liquefied natural gas carrier {REGASIFICATION SYSTEM OF LNGC}

본 발명은 액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 글리콜 워터와 응축스팀이 열교환기를 통과하여 선박내에 저장된 액화천연가스를 천연가스로 재기화시키는 액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a regasification system of a liquefied natural gas carrier, and more particularly, to a regasification system of a liquefied natural gas carrier, in which glycol water and a condensation steam pass through a heat exchanger to regasify liquefied natural gas stored in a vessel into natural gas. It is about.

전 세계에 분포된 천연가스 생산지에서는 많은 양의 천연가스(주로 메탄)가 생산된다. 이렇게 생산된 천연가스가 생산지에서 소비지까지 손쉽게 운반될 수 있다면, 그러한 가치는 에너지부족을 염려하는 현재 실정에서 매우 높은 가치를 가지게될 것이다. 만일 천연가스의 생산지가 소비지와 인접해 있다면, 이러한 천연가스의 운반은 수중 또는 지상의 파이프를 이용하여 가능해 질 것이다. 그러나 천연가스의 생산지가 소비지와 원거리 상에 존재한다면, 이러한 천연가스의 운반을 위해 별도의 운송방법을 도입해야 한다.Natural gas producing regions around the world produce a large amount of natural gas (mainly methane). If the natural gas thus produced could be easily transported from place of production to place of consumption, such value would be of very high value in the current context of energy shortages. If the natural gas production site is adjacent to the consumer, this transport of natural gas will be possible by underwater or above-ground pipes. However, if the natural gas production site is far from the consumer, a separate transportation method should be introduced for the transport of such natural gas.

일반적으로 원격지에서 생산된 천연가스를 소비지로 운송하는 방법으로는 선박을 이용하는 것이 보편적인데, 생산지 또는 그 인접지역에서 생산된 천연가스를 먼저 액화시킨 후, 이러한 액화상태의 천연가스 즉, 액화천연가스(LNG; Liquefied Natural Gas)를 선박에 저장하여 운반시키는 것이다. 이때의 액화천연가스는 천연가스를 고압 및 극저온(대략 -160℃)상태에서 액화시킨 것인데, 이러한 액화천연가스의 특성 때문에 많은 양을 한꺼번에 선박의 저장탱크에 실어 운반할 수 있는 장점이 있다.In general, a method of transporting a natural gas produced at a remote location to a consumer is commonly used by a ship. The natural gas produced at the production site or its neighbors is first liquefied, and then the natural gas in the liquefied state, that is, natural gas Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is stored and transported in ships. At this time, the liquefied natural gas is to liquefy natural gas at high pressure and cryogenic temperature (about -160 ℃), because of the characteristics of the liquefied natural gas has the advantage that can be transported in a storage tank of the ship a large amount at a time.

그러나 이러한 천연가스의 액화상태로의 변환으로 인하여, 선박이 상기 액화천연가스를 운반목적지, 즉 소비지까지 운반한 후 이를 다시 천연가스로 재기화(Regasification)시켜야 하는 어려움이 나타났다. 만일 천연가스에 대한 시장이 잘 형성되어 있으며, 수요가 안정적으로 증가하는 곳이라면, 소비지에 영구적 시설물인 육상 액화천연가스 재기화시설을 건설하는 것이 좋다. 그러나 이와 달리 일시적인 요인 또는 계절 또는 주기별로 천연가스가 필요한 지역에서는 이러한 영구적 시설물을 건설하는 것 자체가 경제성에 합당치 못한 것이 자명하다.However, due to the conversion of the natural gas to the liquefied state, it has been difficult for the ship to transport the liquefied natural gas to a destination, that is, a consumption place, and then regasify it to natural gas. If the market for natural gas is well established and demand is stable, it is advisable to construct a land liquefied natural gas regasification facility at the consumer site. However, in the case where natural gas is needed for temporary factors or seasons or cycles, it is obvious that the construction of such permanent facilities is not economically feasible.

최근, 액화천연가스 운반선에서 저장된 액화천연가스를 육상터미널로 하역하기 전에 미리 재기화 시킬 수 있는 선박의 재기화 설비들이 제안되고 있다.Recently, vessel regasification facilities have been proposed that can regasify liquefied natural gas stored in liquefied natural gas carriers before unloading them to the land terminal.

이에 따라 종래에는 해수를 이용한 선박의 재기화 설비가 개발되어 이용되어 왔으나, 상온의 해수 혹은 가열된 해수를 이용하여 액화천연가스를 재기화시키는데, 이러한 재기화과정을 수행한 후 배출되는 해수는 상온보다 낮은 온도를 가지며, 배관 상에 부착된 각종 부식물과 함께 배출되므로, 해양 생태계 및 환경 오염을 초래할 수 있는 문제점이 있었다.Accordingly, the regasification facilities of ships using seawater have been developed and used in the prior art, but liquefied natural gas is regasified using seawater or heated seawater at room temperature, and the seawater discharged after performing this regasification process is room temperature. It has a lower temperature and is discharged with various corrosive materials attached to the pipe, there was a problem that can cause marine ecosystem and environmental pollution.

따라서 이러한 종래의 해수를 이용하던 선박의 재기화 설비의 문제점을 다소나마 보완하려는 노력의 일환으로, 해수를 매개하지 않고 직접 스팀과 열교환시키 는 선박의 재기화 설비가 출현하였다. 종래 기술에 따른 스팀 열교환을 이용한 선박의 재기화 설비를 도 1을 참고하여 설명하면 다음과 같다.Therefore, as part of an effort to partially compensate for the problems of the vessel regasification equipment using the conventional seawater, the regasification equipment of the vessel that directly heat-exchanges with steam without mediating seawater has emerged. Referring to Figure 1 re-gasification of the vessel using the steam heat exchange according to the prior art as follows.

저장탱크(미도시)에서 육상터미널(미도시)로 액화천연가스(LNG)를 운반하는 배관 상에 제 1 열교환기(10)를 장착하고, 선박의 보일러(30)로부터 공급되는 고온의 스팀 배관 상에 제 2 열교환기(20)를 장착하였다.The first heat exchanger 10 is mounted on a pipe that carries liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a storage tank (not shown) to a land terminal (not shown), and the high temperature steam pipe is supplied from the boiler 30 of the vessel. The second heat exchanger 20 was mounted on the bed.

그리고 제 1 열교환기(10)와 제 2 열교환기(20)를 순환하는 배관을 따라 글리콘 워터가 순환함으로써 보일러(30)로부터 공급된 고온의 스팀과 극저온의 상기 액화천연가스가 글리콜 워터를 매개로 하여 열교환될 수 있게 되어 있다. In addition, the glycon water circulates along the pipe circulating the first heat exchanger 10 and the second heat exchanger 20 so that the high temperature steam supplied from the boiler 30 and the cryogenic liquefied natural gas mediate glycol water. It is possible to exchange heat.

이로 인하여, 해수를 매개로 하지 않고서 공급 및 회수되는 스팀을 이용하여 액화천연가스를 기화시켜 천연가스의 형태로 육상 터미널에 하역할 수 있게 된다.Accordingly, the natural gas can be vaporized using steam supplied and recovered without using seawater as a natural gas, and thus can be unloaded to the land terminal in the form of natural gas.

그러나, 이러한 종래 기술에 따른 직접 스팀 열교환을 이용한 선박의 재기화 설비에서는 보일러에서 배출되는 고온의 배기가스를 대기중에 배출하여 환경 오염의 원인이 되며, 더욱이 액화천연가스를 스팀과 단 한차례만 열교환시키므로 액화천연가스의 재기화 효율이 떨어지는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the vessel regasification facility using the direct steam heat exchange according to the prior art, the high temperature exhaust gas discharged from the boiler is discharged into the atmosphere to cause environmental pollution, and furthermore, because the liquefied natural gas heat exchange only once with steam There was a problem that the regasification efficiency of the liquefied natural gas falls.

따라서 본 발명에서는, 보일러로부터 배출되는 고온의 가스를 이용하여 액화천연가스를 재기화시키기 위한 열교환의 매개인 글리콜 워터를 한번 더 열교환시킴으로써, 액화천연가스의 재기화 효율이 향상될 수 있는 액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템을 제공하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다.Therefore, in the present invention, by further heat-exchanging the glycol water which is a medium of heat exchange for regasifying the liquefied natural gas using the hot gas discharged from the boiler, the liquefied natural gas which can improve the regasification efficiency of the liquefied natural gas It is an object to provide a regasification system for a carrier.

상기 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 발명은, 액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템에 있어서, 액화천연가스운반선의 저장탱크에서 육상터미널로 액화천연가스를 운반하는 제 1 배관상에 설치되는 제 1 열교환기와, 액화천연가스운반선의 보일러로부터 공급되는 고온의 스팀이 통과하는 제 2 배관 상에 설치되는 제 2 열교환기와, 제 1 열교환기와 제 2 열교환기를 연결하는 순환배관상에 설치되며 보일러의 폐가스가 통과하여 배출되도록 폐가스배관이 연결되어 순환배관을 순환하는 글리콜 워터를 고온의 폐가스와 열교환시키는 제 3 열교환기를 포함하는 액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템을 제공한다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, in the regasification system of the liquefied natural gas carrier, the first heat exchanger is installed on the first pipe for transporting the liquefied natural gas from the storage tank of the liquefied natural gas carrier ship to the land terminal, It is installed on the second heat exchanger installed on the second pipe through which the high temperature steam supplied from the boiler of the liquefied natural gas carrier passes, and on the circulation pipe connecting the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger, and the waste gas of the boiler passes and discharged. Provided is a regasification system of a liquefied natural gas carrier ship including a third heat exchanger for heat-exchanging glycol water circulating the circulation pipe with hot waste gas.

따라서 바람직하게 글리콜 워터는 제 3 열교환기와 제 2 열교환기를 연속하 여 통과하면서 가열되는 것을 특징으로 한다.Therefore, preferably, the glycol water is heated while continuously passing through the third heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger.

이상 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명의 액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템에 따르면, 보일러로부터 배출되는 고온의 가스를 이용하여 액화천연가스를 재기화시키기 위한 열교환의 매개인 글리콜 워터를 한번 더 열교환시킴으로써, 종래 기술에 비해 높은 재기화 효율을 달성할 수 있게 되어 경제적인 측면에서 매우 유리한 효과를 가진다.As described above, according to the regasification system of the liquefied natural gas carrier of the present invention, by heat-exchanging the glycol water which is a medium of heat exchange for regasifying the liquefied natural gas by using the hot gas discharged from the boiler, the prior art Compared with the above, it is possible to achieve a high regasification efficiency, which is very advantageous economically.

In the following description of the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of a known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Therefore, the definition should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

도 2는 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템의 구성도이다.2 is a block diagram of a regasification system of a liquefied natural gas carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention.

도 2에 도시된 액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템은, 액화천연가스운반선의 저장탱크에서 육상터미널로 액화천연가스를 운반하는 제 1 배관(112)상에 설치되는 제 1 열교환기(110)와, 액화천연가스운반선의 보일러(100)로부터 공급되는 고 온의 스팀이 통과하는 제 2 배관(122) 상에 설치되는 제 2 열교환기(120)와, 제 1 열교환기(110)와 제 2 열교환기(120)를 연결하는 순환배관(130)상에 설치되는 제 3 열교환기(140)로 구성된다.The regasification system of the liquefied natural gas carrier shown in FIG. 2 includes a first heat exchanger 110 installed on a first pipe 112 for delivering liquefied natural gas from a storage tank of the liquefied natural gas carrier to a land terminal. The second heat exchanger 120 and the first heat exchanger 110 and the second heat exchanger are installed on the second pipe 122 through which high temperature steam supplied from the boiler 100 of the liquefied natural gas carrier passes. It consists of a third heat exchanger 140 is installed on the circulation pipe 130 for connecting the machine 120.

여기서 본 발명의 특징인 제 3 열교환기(140)는 제 1 열교환기(110)와 제 2 열교환기(120)를 연결하도록 폐루프 형태인(closed-loop) 순환배관(130)상에 설치된다. Here, the third heat exchanger 140, which is a feature of the present invention, is installed on a closed-loop circulation pipe 130 to connect the first heat exchanger 110 and the second heat exchanger 120. .

그리고 제 3 열교환기(140)에는 한 쌍의 보일러(100)에서 발생하는 폐가스가 통과하여 배출되도록 폐가스배관(142)이 연결 설치된다.In addition, a waste gas pipe 142 is connected to the third heat exchanger 140 so that waste gas generated from the pair of boilers 100 passes through and discharged.

따라서 폐가스배관(142)을 통과하여 배출되는 고온의 폐가스가 제 3 열교환기(140)를 지나면서 순환배관(130)을 순환하는 글리콜 워터를 한번 더 교환시키게 되는 구성을 가진다.Therefore, the hot gas discharged through the waste gas pipe 142 has a configuration in which the glycol water circulating in the circulation pipe 130 is exchanged once more while passing through the third heat exchanger 140.

참고로, 순환배관(130)을 따라 순환하는 글리콜 워터(glycol water)는 부동액의 일종으로, 분자량 62.07, 녹는점 -12.6℃, 끓는점 197.7℃, 비중 1.1131을 가지는 점조(粘稠)하고 감미가 있는 무색 액체이다. 이러한 글리콜 워터를 액화천연가스의 기화를 위한 열교환 매개체로 사용된다.For reference, glycol water circulating along the circulation pipe 130 is a kind of antifreeze, and has a viscosity and sweetness having a molecular weight of 62.07, a melting point of -12.6 ° C, a boiling point of 197.7 ° C, and a specific gravity of 1.1131. It is a colorless liquid. This glycol water is used as a heat exchange medium for the vaporization of liquefied natural gas.

또한, 제 1, 2, 3 열교환기(110)(120)(140)는 별도의 구동에너지가 요구되지 않으며 단지 온도차를 갖는 두 유체 사이에서 전도와 대류의 방법으로 열전달을 일으키는 통상적인 장치인데, 온도, 압력, 유량 등의 조건에 따라 주수형 열교환기, 투관형 열교환기, 이중관형 열교환기 등과 같은 각종 열교환기를 사용하여도 무방하다.In addition, the first, second, and third heat exchangers 110, 120, 140 are conventional devices that do not require a separate driving energy and only generate heat transfer by conduction and convection between two fluids having a temperature difference. Various heat exchangers, such as a water injection type heat exchanger, a tube type heat exchanger, and a double tube type heat exchanger, may be used depending on conditions such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate.

이와 같은 구조로 이루어진 액화천연가스운반선의 재기화 시스템의 작용은 다음과 같이 이루어진다.The operation of the regasification system of the liquefied natural gas carriers having such a structure is performed as follows.

다시 도 2를 참고하면, 보일러(100)에서 고온의 스팀이 제 2 배관(122)을 따라 제 2 열교환기(120)를 통과하게 되며, 이때 순환배관(130)을 따라 순환하는 글리콜 워터는 제 2 열교환기(120)에서 열교환되어 가열된 상태가 된다.Referring back to FIG. 2, the hot steam in the boiler 100 passes through the second heat exchanger 120 along the second pipe 122, wherein the glycol water circulated along the circulation pipe 130 may be 2 heat-exchanges in the heat exchanger 120, and it will be in the heated state.

이렇게 가열된 글리콜 워터는 다시 순환배관(130)을 따라 제 1 열교환기(110)를 통과하면서 액화천연가스운반선의 저장탱크(미도시)로부터 인출되는 액화천연가스와 열교환되어 액화천연가스를 재기화시키게 된다.The glycol water heated in this way passes through the first heat exchanger 110 along the circulation pipe 130 again and heat-exchanges with the liquefied natural gas withdrawn from the storage tank (not shown) of the liquefied natural gas carrier to regasify the liquefied natural gas. Let's go.

한편, 액화천연가스의 재기화로 열교환되어 열이 뺏긴 글리콜 워터는 순환배관(130)상의 제 3 열교환기(140)를 통과하면서 보일러(100)로부터 발생된 고온의 폐가스에 의하여 1차로 가열되고, 이어서 연속하여 스팀이 통과하는 제 2 열교환기(120)와 2차 가열되어 다시 액화천연가스를 제 1 열교환기(110)에서 재기화시키게 된다.Meanwhile, the glycol water deprived of heat by heat exchange due to regasification of the liquefied natural gas is first heated by hot waste gas generated from the boiler 100 while passing through the third heat exchanger 140 on the circulation pipe 130. Subsequently, the second heat exchanger 120 continuously passes steam and re-gasses the liquefied natural gas in the first heat exchanger 110.

위와 같은 재기화 과정은 반복되어 수행된다.This regasification process is repeated.

그러므로 본 발명에서는 보일러(100)에서 발생하는 고온의 폐가스를 이용할 수 있는 제 3 열교환기(140)의 설치로 인하여 액화천연가스의 재기화에 열교환의 매개로 사용되는 글리콜 워터를 제 2 열교환기(120)와 같이 한번 더 가열함으로써, 글리콜 워터의 가열에 필요한 스팀량이 감소되어 보일러(100)의 가동에 필요한 연료 에너지를 절약할 수 있는 발명이다. Therefore, in the present invention, due to the installation of the third heat exchanger 140 that can use the high-temperature waste gas generated in the boiler 100, glycol water used as a medium of heat exchange in the regasification of liquefied natural gas, the second heat exchanger ( By heating once more, such as 120, the amount of steam required for heating the glycol water is reduced, thereby saving fuel energy required for operation of the boiler 100.
