Description

선박 저장탱크의 증발가스감소시스템{SYSTEM FOR REDUCING BOIL OFF GAS OF STORAGE TANK OF SHIP}Evaporative gas reduction system for ship storage tanks {SYSTEM FOR REDUCING BOIL OFF GAS OF STORAGE TANK OF SHIP}

본 발명은 선박 저장탱크의 증발가스감소시스템에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a system for reducing evaporative gases in ship storage tanks.

온실가스 및 각종 대기오염 물질의 배출에 대한 국제해사기구(IMO, International Maritime Organization)의 규제가 강화됨에 따라 조선 및 해운업계에서는 기존 연료인 중유, 디젤유의 이용을 대신하여, 청정 에너지원인 천연가스를 선박의 연료가스로 이용하는 경우가 많아지고 있다.As the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s regulations on the emission of greenhouse gases and various air pollutants are strengthened, the shipbuilding and shipping industry is using natural gas, a clean energy source, instead of using existing fuels such as heavy oil and diesel oil. It is increasingly being used as fuel gas for ships.

연료가스 중에서 널리 이용되고 있는 천연가스(Natural Gas)는 메탄(Methane)을 주성분으로 하며, 통상적으로 그 부피를 1/600로 줄인 액화가스(Liquefied Gas) 상태로 변환되어 저장탱크에 저장된다. 이러한 액화가스(예컨대 LNG)가 저장된 저장탱크 내부에서는 외부의 열 유입에 따라 증발가스가 발생하여 저장탱크 내부의 압력이 상승하게 된다.Natural gas, which is widely used among fuel gases, contains methane as its main ingredient, and is usually converted to liquefied gas with its volume reduced to 1/600 and stored in a storage tank. Inside the storage tank where such liquefied gas (for example, LNG) is stored, evaporation gas is generated due to the influx of external heat, thereby increasing the pressure inside the storage tank.

종래에는 저장탱크 내부의 압력 조절을 위해, 냉매를 압축시키고, 압축된 냉매를 냉각수와 열교환시켜 냉각시킨 후 팽창시키고, 저장탱크로부터 공급된 증발가스를 상술한 팽창된 냉매와 열교환시켜 액화시킨 후 저장탱크로 회수함으로써 저장탱크 내부의 압력 조절에 이용하였다. 관련된 종래기술로서 한국공개특허 제2016-0086554호(2016.07.20. 공개)를 참조하기 바란다.Conventionally, in order to control the pressure inside the storage tank, the refrigerant is compressed, the compressed refrigerant is cooled by heat exchange with cooling water, and then expanded, and the boil-off gas supplied from the storage tank is liquefied by heat exchange with the expanded refrigerant and then stored. By returning it to the tank, it was used to control the pressure inside the storage tank. Please refer to Korea Patent Publication No. 2016-0086554 (published on July 20, 2016) as related prior art.

그러나, 저장탱크 내부에서 발생하는 증발가스 발생량을 보다 효과적으로 감소시켜, 전체 설비 및 시스템의 효율성을 향상시킬 필요성이 제기된다.However, there is a need to improve the efficiency of the entire facility and system by more effectively reducing the amount of evaporative gas generated inside the storage tank.

We aim to provide a evaporative gas reduction system for ship storage tanks that can be adjusted to suit conditions and supplied to the customer and used for piping cooldown and purge.

질소저장탱크(101)는 액화질소 및 이의 증발가스를 저장한다.The nitrogen storage tank 101 stores liquefied nitrogen and its boil-off gas.

서브쿨러(110)는 질소가스합류라인(L14)을 통해 질소저장탱크(101)로부터 액화질소를 공급받고, 이를 액화가스저장탱크(102)로부터 액화가스공급라인(L17)을 통해 공급받은 액화가스와 열교환을 수행한다. 서브쿨러(110)는 액화질소의 냉열을 액화가스에 전달하여 액화가스를 과냉각시킨다.The subcooler 110 receives liquefied nitrogen from the nitrogen storage tank 101 through the nitrogen gas confluence line (L14), and liquefied nitrogen is supplied from the liquefied gas storage tank 102 through the liquefied gas supply line (L17). performs heat exchange with The subcooler 110 transfers the cold heat of the liquefied nitrogen to the liquefied gas and supercools the liquefied gas.

질소저장탱크(101)로부터 공급된 액화질소는 서브쿨러(110)를 거쳐 질소가스합류라인(L14)을 통해 수요처공급라인(L12)의 제1기화기(120) 후단으로 합류되며, 그 중 일부는 질소저장탱크(101) 내측으로 공급될 수 있다.The liquid nitrogen supplied from the nitrogen storage tank 101 passes through the subcooler 110 and joins the rear end of the first vaporizer 120 of the demand supply line L12 through the nitrogen gas confluence line L14, some of which It can be supplied inside the nitrogen storage tank (101).

제1기화기(120)는 수요처공급라인(L12)을 통해 질소저장탱크(101)로부터 액화질소를 공급받아 가열하여 기화시킨다.The first vaporizer 120 receives liquid nitrogen from the nitrogen storage tank 101 through the demand supply line L12, heats it, and vaporizes it.

이때, 수요처공급라인(L12)에는 제1기화기(120)를 바이패스하도록 수요처공급라인(L12)의 제1기화기(120) 전단과 후단을 연결하는 바이패스라인(L13)이 마련되어 있다.At this time, the demand source supply line (L12) is provided with a bypass line (L13) connecting the front and rear ends of the first vaporizer 120 of the demand source supply line (L12) to bypass the first vaporizer 120.

바이패스라인(L13)은 질소저장탱크(101)로부터 공급된 액화질소를 제1기화기(120)를 거치지 않고, 수요처공급라인(L12)을 통해 수요처(103)로 공급한다.The bypass line (L13) supplies the liquid nitrogen supplied from the nitrogen storage tank (101) to the consumer (103) through the consumer supply line (L12) without passing through the first vaporizer (120).

수요처공급라인(L12)의 제1기화기(120) 및 바이패스라인(L13)을 통과한 유체는 상술한 질소가스합류라인(L14)을 통해 공급된 유체와 혼합되어 수요처(103) 쪽으로 공급된다. The fluid that has passed through the first vaporizer 120 and the bypass line (L13) of the demand source supply line (L12) is mixed with the fluid supplied through the above-described nitrogen gas confluence line (L14) and is supplied to the demand source (103).

이때, 수요처공급라인(L12)에 마련된 온도측정기(127)는 상술한 혼합 유체의 온도를 측정하며, 바이패스라인(L13)에 마련된 제어밸브(125)는 온도측정기(127)에 의해 측정된 혼합 유체의 온도값을 기초로 개방 정도가 제어되어, 수요처(103)의 온도 요구조건에 맞게 혼합 유체의 온도가 조절되도록 한다.At this time, the temperature measuring device 127 provided in the demand supply line (L12) measures the temperature of the above-mentioned mixed fluid, and the control valve 125 provided in the bypass line (L13) measures the mixed fluid measured by the temperature measuring device 127. The degree of opening is controlled based on the temperature value of the fluid, so that the temperature of the mixed fluid is adjusted to suit the temperature requirements of the demander 103.
