Liquefied natural gas is typically transported through an LNG carrier, where the liquefied natural gas can be stored in a tank of LNG carriers in a liquid state at temperatures below -162 ° C at 1 atm. Liquefied natural gas can be transported in a liquid state because the volume of the natural gas is reduced to one-sixth of that of the gas state.

1 is a conceptual diagram of a liquefied gas regeneration system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

1, a liquefied gas regeneration system 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a liquefied gas storage tank 10, a liquefied gas pump 20, a vaporizer 22, an inert gas supplier 40 ).

The liquefied gas storage tank 10 stores the liquefied gas in a liquid state. At this time, the liquefied gas in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 may be regenerated and supplied to the customer 100, and the customer 100 may be a city gas or an engine.

The liquefied gas stored in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 can be vaporized due to external heat penetration, so that the liquefied gas storage tank 10 may contain an evaporated gas with the liquefied gas. At this time, the evaporated gas may be burned and treated by the gas combustion device 24, or may be returned to the liquefied gas storage tank 10 after being re-liquefied by a remelting device, though not shown. The evaporative gas combustion line 26 may be connected to the gas combustion device 24 in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 for the combustion of the evaporated gas.

The liquefied gas pump 20 conveys the liquefied gas of the liquefied gas storage tank 10 to the customer 100. A liquefied gas supply line 23 is connected from the liquefied gas storage tank 10 to the customer 100. The liquefied gas pump 20 may be provided in the liquefied gas supply line 23.

The liquefied gas pump 20 may be provided inside and outside the liquefied gas storage tank 10 as shown in the figure. The liquefied gas pump 20 provided inside the liquefied gas storage tank 10 is a primary liquefied gas pump 20 and the liquefied gas pump 20 provided outside the liquefied gas storage tank 10 is a secondary liquefied gas pump The liquefied gas pump 20 may be used. Of course, at least one of the liquefied gas pumps 20 may be omitted. Hereinafter, the liquefied gas pump 20 may be referred to as a secondary liquefied gas pump 20 for convenience.

An intermediate storage tank (21) may be provided between the liquefied gas pump (20) and the liquefied gas storage tank (10). The intermediate storage tank 21 is provided upstream of the liquefied gas pump 20 in the liquefied gas supply line 23 to temporarily store the liquefied gas.

In the liquefied gas pump 20, a liquefied gas satisfying the minimum required flow rate must be introduced to prevent cavitation. The intermediate storage tank 21 sufficiently stores the liquefied gas, and a sufficient amount of liquefied gas is supplied to the liquefied gas pump 20 . In addition, the intermediate storage tank 21 can keep the flow rate of the liquefied gas flowing into the liquefied gas pump 20 relatively constant to prevent the load fluctuation of the liquefied gas pump 20.

The intermediate storage tank 21 can perform gas-liquid separation, and the liquefied gas of the gaseous component separated from the intermediate storage tank 21 is supplied to the liquefied gas combustion line 24 connected to the gas combustion device 24 from the intermediate storage tank 21 Can be burned in the gas combustion device (24) along the line (25). At this time, the liquefied gas of the liquid component separated from the intermediate storage tank 21 can be introduced into the liquefied gas pump 20, which prevents the liquefied gas mixed with the gas and the liquid from flowing into the liquefied gas pump 20, So as to protect the gas pump 20 and increase the operation efficiency of the liquefied gas pump 20. [

However, a valve (not shown) is provided in the liquefied gas combustion line 25 connected to the intermediate storage tank 21, and the liquefied gas in the gaseous state is discharged from the intermediate storage tank 21 So that the internal pressure of the intermediate storage tank 21 can be controlled.

The vaporizer 22 regenerates the liquefied gas. The vaporizer 22 is provided downstream of the liquefied gas pump 20 in the liquefied gas supply line 23 and can heat the liquefied gas using the heat to vaporize the liquefied gas. At this time, the fruit may be varied such as glycol water, seawater, steam and the like.

The vaporizer 22 may be provided with a fruit supply line 31 for supplying the fruit. The fruit supply line 31 is provided with a fruit pump 30 and the fruit pump 30 allows the fruit to flow into the vaporizer 22 along the fruit supply line 31.

When the fruit is seawater, the fruit supply line 31 is connected to the sea where the fruit is supplied, so that seawater can be supplied to the vaporizer 22, and the seawater passing through the vaporizer 22 can be discharged to the sea again. At this time, the fruit pump 30 can lift the seawater from the sea and transfer it to the vaporizer 22.

On the other hand, when the fruit is steam or glycol water, the fruit supplying line 31 may be provided in such a manner that the fruit circulates. That is, the fruit transferred by the fruit pump 30 can be transferred to the fruit pump 30 after passing through the vaporizer 22.

The liquefied gas vaporized by the vaporizer 22 can be supplied to the customer 100. If a surplus liquefied gas that can not be consumed by the customer 100 is generated or there is a problem in supplying the liquefied gas to the customer 100, , At least a part of the liquefied gas may be supplied to the gas combustion device 24 along the liquefied gas combustion line 25 and processed.

The inert gas supplier 40 supplies an inert gas for purging and cooling down the liquefied gas supply line 23 and the like. At this time, the inert gas may be nitrogen, and the inert gas supplier 40 may be a nitrogen generator.

The inert gas supplier 40 is connected to the liquefied gas supply line 23 and is capable of purging the liquefied gas supply line 23 and the liquefied gas pump 20 and the like through the inert gas. At this time, an inert gas supply line 41 is connected from the inert gas supplier 40 to the liquefied gas supply line 23, and the inert gas supply line 41 may be connected to the intermediate storage tank 21. That is, the inert gas supply line 41 is connected upstream of the liquefied gas pump 20 in the liquefied gas supply line 23, and is inactivated to purge and cool down the liquefied gas pump 20 and the liquefied gas supply line 23 Gas can be delivered.

The inert gas supply line 41 may be provided to partially pass through the liquefied gas storage tank 10. At this time, an inert gas cooler 42 is provided at a portion passing through the liquefied gas storage tank 10 to cool the inert gas with the liquefied gas of the liquefied gas storage tank 10.

The inert gas supplied from the inert gas supplier 40 is cooled by the liquefied gas in the inert gas cooler 42 and then supplied to the liquefied gas supply line 23, the liquefied gas pump 20, To cool down the liquefied gas supply line 23 and the like, and to replace (purge) the material (oxygen, etc.) filled in the liquefied gas supply line 23 with an inert gas.

That is, in this embodiment, the inert gas is cooled through the inert gas supply line 41 and supplied to the liquefied gas supply line 23, so that purging and cooling down using the inert gas can be performed at the same time.

Therefore, the present embodiment can drastically shorten the time required for purging and the time required for cooling down as a whole, and can prevent loss of liquefied gas without using liquefied gas at the time of cooling down.

The inert gas supply line 41 is divided in the upstream of the inert gas cooler 42 so as to pass through the inert gas cooler 42 or the liquefied gas storage tank 10 Bypass the inert gas cooler 42 and then join them before they are connected to the intermediate storage tank 21 of the liquefied gas supply line 23 or may be respectively connected to the intermediate storage tank 21.

The inert gas that has undergone the purging and cooling down can be discharged from the liquefied gas supply line 23 downstream of the liquefied gas pump 20. An inert gas discharge line 43 for discharging the inert gas to the outside of the liquefied gas supply line 23 may be connected to the liquefied gas pump 20 downstream of the liquefied gas supply line 23.

At this time, the inert gas discharge line 43 is connected from the liquefied gas supply line 23 to the inert gas supply device 40 so that the inert gas utilized for purging and cooling down can be reused in the inert gas supply device 40 . Of course, the inert gas discharge line 43 may be provided to discharge the inert gas to the outside.

In addition, since the ball active gas supply line 41 is connected to the intermediate storage tank 21, the inert gas may be delivered to the gas combustion apparatus 24 using the liquefied gas combustion line 25. [

As described above, the present embodiment integrates purging using inert gas and cooling down using liquefied gas, so that purging and cooling down using inert gas can be implemented at the same time. And the unnecessary consumption of the liquefied gas can be prevented.

2 and 3 are conceptual diagrams of a liquefied gas regeneration system according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

2 and 3, a liquefied gas regeneration system 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention includes a liquefied gas storage tank 10, a liquefied gas pump 20, and a vaporizer 22 . Hereinafter, the differences between the present embodiment and other embodiments will be mainly described, and the portions omitted from the description will be replaced with the contents described above.

In this embodiment, the vaporizer 22 is connected to the fruit supply line 31. The fruit supply line 31 is connected to the sea where the fruit is supplied, and receives the seawater as the fruit from the sea and transfers it to the vaporizer 22. For this purpose, the fruit supply line 31 may be provided with a fruit pump 30 for transferring seawater.

The fruit supply line 31 discharges the heat exchanged with the liquefied gas in the vaporizer 22 back to the sea. Since the fruit is cooled by the liquefied gas in the vaporizer 22, when the fruit is discharged to the sea as it is, The temperature may be lowered, causing environmental pollution.

Therefore, this embodiment can allow other fruits to be mixed in the fruit supply line 31. [ That is, the present embodiment further includes the fruit mixing line 32, and the fruit mixing line 32 can mix the fruit that has been shifted from the sea into the fruit on the downstream side of the evaporator 22 in the fruit feeding line 31.

That is, the fruit mixing line 32 can reduce seawater temperature difference between sea water and sea heat-exchanged with the liquefied gas by heating the seawater discharged to the sea from the fruit supply line 31 to the sea water delivered from the sea.

To this end, a fruit mixer 33 may be provided downstream of the vaporizer 22 in the fruit supply line 31, in which the fruit mixture line 32 is joined. The fruit mixer 33, which is cooled by the vaporizer 22, The losing seawater can be mixed in the fruit mixer 33. Therefore, the seawater cooled in the vaporizer 22 can be heated to be adjacent to the seawater temperature of the sea.

The fruit mixture line 32 may be branched between the sea and the vaporizer 22 in the fruit supply line 31 and connected to the fruit mixer 33 as shown in Fig. In this case, the fruit mixture line 32 can share the fruit pump 30 with the fruit supply line 31 and branch off from the fruit supply line 31 downstream of the fruit pump 30 to the fruit mixer 33 Can be connected.

The amount of the fruit transferred to the vaporizer 22 by the fruit pump 30 must be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the required temperature and the required flow rate of the consumer 100. Therefore, If the fruit mixture line 32 is shared, the flow rate of the fruit supplied to the fruit supply line 31 may not be appropriate.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the fruit mixing line 32 can be connected to the sea independently of the fruit supplying line 31. That is, the fruit mixture line 32 and the fruit supply line 31 are connected to the sea, respectively, and the fruit pump 30 may be provided in the fruit supply line 31 and the fruit mixture line 32, respectively. The fruit pump 30 provided in the fruit supply line 31 transfers seawater from the sea to the vaporizer 22 while the fruit pump 30 provided in the fruit mixture line 32 transfers the seawater from the sea to the fruit mixer 33).

The heat mixer 33 is provided with a temperature sensor (not shown), and the heat mixing line 32 and the heat supply line 31 are provided with valves (not shown) The flow rate of the heat supplied to the fruit mixture line 32 and the fruit supply line 31 can be varied by valve control or the like. Of course, in addition to the valve control, the flow rate of the fruit can be varied by adjusting the RPM of the fruit pump 30.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the fruit is cooled by the liquefied gas in the vaporizer 22 and then discharged back to the sea of the fruit supply source, the fruit drawn from the sea is mixed with the fruit discharged from the vaporizer 22, The temperature can be appropriately changed to prevent contamination of the sea. However, in this case, the flow rate of the fruit flowing along the fruit mixture line 32 may be larger than the flow rate of the fruit flowing along the fruit supply line 31, and as shown in FIG. 3, When the fruit pump 30 is provided in the fruit mixture line 32, the fruit pump 30 of the fruit mixture line 32 may be large in capacity compared to the fruit pump 30 of the fruit supply line 31.

4 and 5 are conceptual diagrams of a liquefied gas regeneration system according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

4 and 5, a liquefied gas regeneration system 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention includes a liquefied gas storage tank 10, a liquefied gas pump 20, a vaporizer 22, a solid oxide A fuel cell 50, and a steam generator 52. Hereinafter, the differences between the present embodiment and other embodiments will be mainly described, and the portions omitted from the description will be replaced with the contents described above.

The solid oxide fuel cell 50 generates electricity and heat by using the evaporated gas of the liquefied gas storage tank 10. The solid oxide fuel cell 50 (SOFC) separates hydrogen from methane contained in the evaporated gas to generate electricity and generate heat at the same time. The heat generated at this time may be close to 800 to 900 degrees.

An evaporation gas supply line 51 is provided from the liquefied gas storage tank 10 to the solid oxide fuel cell 50 and the evaporation gas supply line 51 is provided to be branched from the aforementioned evaporation gas combustion line 26 .

The steam generator 52 generates steam through the heat generated in the solid oxide fuel cell 50. Of course, in this embodiment, the steam generator 52 is merely an example, and the present embodiment may include a heat generator that generates heat other than steam using heat.

The steam generator 52 may receive heat from the solid oxide fuel cell 50 and boil water to generate steam. The steam generated at this time may be supplied directly to the vaporizer 22, or may be supplied to the heater heater 34. Hereinafter, the description will be made by dividing it according to the drawings.

In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a steam supply line 53 for delivering steam generated by the steam generator 52 to the vaporizer 22 may be provided. The steam supply line 53 may allow steam to be transferred to the vaporizer 22 to heat exchange with the liquefied gas in the vaporizer 22. In this case, direct vaporization is used.

At this time, the steam exchanged with the liquefied gas in the vaporizer 22 is converted into condensed water, and the condensed water can be stored in the condensate tank 54. The steam supply line 53 can be connected to the steam generator 52 via the vaporizer 22 and the condensate tank 54 in the steam generator 52 and the steam generated in the steam generator 52 can be supplied to the vaporizer 22, The condensed water is stored in the condensed water tank 54 as condensed water, and can be converted into steam by receiving heat from the steam generator 52.

The steam supply line 53 may be provided with a steam pump 55 and the steam pump 55 may transfer the condensed water to the steam generator 52 downstream of the condensate tank 54.

However, when the steam generated through the solid oxide fuel cell 50 is directly supplied to the vaporizer 22, the temperature difference between the vapor and the liquefied gas may be large, which may cause a problem in the vaporizer 22. Therefore, an indirect vaporization method can be used as shown in FIG.

5, the steam generated by the steam generator 52 may be transferred to the non-vaporizer heater 34, not to the vaporizer 22. In the embodiment shown in FIG. The vaporizer 22 is provided with a fruit supply line 31 and the fruit supply line 31 may be provided with a fruit heater 34 for heating the cooled fruit by heat exchange with the liquefied gas in the vaporizer 22 , The steam generated by the solid oxide fuel cell 50 can be used to heat the fruit in the fruit heater 34. [ That is, in the case of FIG. 5, steam may be auxiliary fruit.

At this time, the steam supply line 53 may be connected to the steam generator 52 via the steam heater 52 and the condensate tank 54. That is, the steam is delivered from the steam generator 52 to the heat heater 34 along the steam supply line 53 and cooled by the heat of the fruit heater 34 to be condensed by the fruit such as seawater, And may be circulated from the condensate tank 54 to the steam generator 52 and converted back to steam in the steam generator 52.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the evaporation gas generated in the liquefied gas storage tank 10 is used to drive the solid oxide fuel cell 50 to produce electricity, and at the same time, the heat generated in the solid oxide fuel cell 50 The liquefied gas can be directly used for vaporizing or indirectly vaporizing. Therefore, energy efficiency can be improved because it is possible to generate electricity without the need of a separate heater.

6 is a conceptual diagram of a liquefied gas regeneration system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, a liquefied gas regeneration system 1 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention includes a liquefied gas storage tank 10, a liquefied gas pump 20, and a vaporizer 22. Hereinafter, the differences between the present embodiment and other embodiments will be mainly described, and the portions omitted from the description will be replaced with the contents described above.

The vaporizer 22 is provided with a fruit supply line 31 and the fruit supply line 31 may be provided in a circulation form. At this time, the fruit supply line 31 is provided with a fruit pump 30 for transferring the fruit, and the fruit heater 34 for heating the fruit cooled by the liquefied gas in the evaporator 22 may be provided. The fruit heater 34 can heat the fruit using an auxiliary fruit such as seawater and the auxiliary fruit supply line 36 is connected to the fruit heater 34 and supplied to the auxiliary fruit supply line 36 An auxiliary fruit pump 35 may be provided.

The fruit pump (30) can be driven by the motor (301). In other words, the fruit pump 30 can operate the motor 301 supplied with electric power from the power source 302 to realize the transfer of the fruit.

However, the power source 302 may be a generator provided in a ship, a plant, etc., and power may not be supplied from the power source 302 to the motor 301 due to various reasons such as a fuel exhaustion or a generator malfunction. At this time, if the fruit pump 30 is not operated, the fruit can not circulate along the fruit supply line 31.

However, even if the circulation of the fruit is stopped, the liquefied gas can flow along the liquefied gas supply line 23, so that the heat in the vaporizer 22 can be continuously cooled by the liquefied gas, There is a fear that the vaporizer 31 is blocked or the vaporizer 22 is damaged.

Therefore, the present embodiment may further include a battery 303 to prepare for an emergency situation in which a problem occurs in power supply of the power source 302.

The battery 303 is connected to the power source 302 to store the power and can supply power to the motor 301 when necessary. Particularly, the storage battery 303 can supply power to the motor 301 and operate the fuel pump 30 without passing the power source 302 when there is a problem in power supply of the power source 302. [

When the fruit pump 30 is continuously operated by the battery 303, the fruit can be continuously circulated in the fruit supply line 31. In this case, since the heat can continue to flow in the vaporizer 22, the freezing of the fruit can be prevented to some extent by preventing the temperature of the fruit from reaching the freezing temperature even if the temperature of the fruit falls. When the power supply of the power source 302 is normalized, the supply of the fruit can be normally performed.

A plurality of the fruit pumps 30 may be provided and the power source 302 may be connected to the motors 301 of the plurality of the fruit pumps 30. The fruit pump 30 may be provided with two 50% capacity to share the transfer of the fruits, or two backups may be prepared with two 100% capacity.

At this time, the battery 303 may be connected to at least one or only one of the plurality of the fruit pumps 30. The power source 302 is connected to the two fruit pumps 30 while the battery 303 is connected to one fruit pump 30 because the continuous circulation of the fruit by the battery 303 can be done for a short time (at least several minutes) Lt; / RTI >

Or the power source 302 may be connected to any one of the fruit pumps 30 and the battery 303 may be connected to the other one of the fruit pumps 30. That is, one of the fruit pumps 30 is used for normal operation, and the other fruit pump 30 can be used for the emergency operation. At this time, the capacity of the two fuel pumps 30 may be the same or different from each other.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in order to prevent the fruit from being frozen in the vaporizer 22 when the power source 302 has a problem in power supply and the flow of the fruit is stopped due to the stop of the operation of the fruit pump 30 The accumulator 303 can be used to ensure the continuous operation of the fuel pump 30.
