Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fuel supply system for a high pressure natural gas injection engine, and more particularly, the amount of evaporated gas generated and the evaporation when the amount of the evaporated gas is generated more than the amount of boiled gas required as fuel in the high pressure natural gas injection engine
- Liquefied gas such as LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) and LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
- LNG Liquefied Natural Gas
- LPG Liquefied Petroleum Gas
- the liquefied gas is transported in a gas state through a gas pipe on land or sea, or transported to a distant consumer while stored in a liquefied gas carrier in a liquefied state.
- Liquefied gas such as LNG or LPG is obtained by cooling natural gas or petroleum gas to cryogenic temperature (approximately -163 °C in case of LNG), and its volume is greatly reduced than in gas state, so it is very suitable for long distance transportation by sea. .
- Liquefied gas carriers are used to load liquefied gas into the sea and unload this liquefied gas to land requirements.
- a liquefied gas carrier includes a storage tank (commonly referred to as a cargo hold) that can withstand the cryogenic temperature of liquefied gas. do.

- LNG FSRU stores liquefied natural gas, which is unloaded from LNG carriers, in the storage tank after liquefaction as needed.
- It is an offshore structure that vaporizes natural gas and supplies it to land demand.
- LNG FPSO is a marine structure that is used to directly purify mined natural gas from the sea and liquefy directly to store it in a storage tank, and to transfer LNG stored in the storage tank to an LNG carrier if necessary.
- the offshore structure is a concept including not only vessels such as liquefied gas carriers and LNG RVs but also structures such as LNG FPSO and LNG FSRU.
- the liquefaction temperature of natural gas is about -163 ° C at ambient pressure, so LNG is evaporated even if its temperature is slightly higher than -163 ° C at normal pressure.
- the LNG storage tank of the LNG carrier is insulated, but since the external heat is continuously transmitted to the LNG, LNG is transported while the LNG carrier is transporting the LNG.
- Boil-off gas (BOG) is generated in the LNG storage tank by continuously vaporizing it in the LNG storage tank.
- the generated boil-off gas increases the pressure in the storage tank and accelerates the flow of the liquefied gas in response to the fluctuation of the vessel, it may cause structural problems, so it is necessary to suppress the generation of the boil-off gas.
- the boil-off gas inside the storage tank is discharged to the outside of the storage tank in order to maintain an appropriate pressure in the storage tank to be re-liquefied through the re-liquefaction device.
- the evaporated gas is compressed to a low pressure of approximately 4 to 8 bara and fed to the reliquefaction apparatus before it is done.
- the compressed boil-off gas is liquefied through heat exchange with nitrogen cooled to cryogenic temperatures in a reliquefaction apparatus including a nitrogen refrigeration cycle and then returned to the storage tank.
- the boil-off gas In order to increase the efficiency of reliquefaction of the boil-off gas, it is preferable to compress the boil-off gas to a high pressure.

- the nitrogen refrigeration cycle has a problem of low liquefaction efficiency using nitrogen gas (N 2 ) as the refrigerant
- the mixed refrigerant cycle has a problem of low stability because it uses a refrigerant in which nitrogen and a hydrocarbon gas, etc. are mixed as the refrigerant. .
- a turbo expander-type nitrogen reverse Brayton cycle was implemented to reliquefy the boil-off gas, and a mixed refrigerant in a land LNG liquefaction plant.
- a Joule-Thompson refrigeration cycle was implemented to liquefy natural gas. Nitrogen reverse Brayton cycles used for marine use are advantageous in ships or offshore structures where space is limited due to their relatively simple configuration, but have low efficiency.
- the mixed refrigerant Joule-Thomson refrigeration cycles used for land use are relatively Although the efficiency is high, due to the characteristics of the mixed refrigerant, there is a problem in that the device configuration is complicated, such as the use of a separator to separate when a gas-liquid state exists at the same time. However, this reliquefaction method is still widely used.

- the reliquefaction after compression in the medium pressure range is conventional in both the case of using a nitrogen refrigerant as in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the use of a non-explosive mixed refrigerant, and the use of SMR as in FIG. 6C.
- 6A and 6B show data obtained using a Hysys process model (manufactured by Aspentech).
- the results show that Hamworthy's Mark III reliquefaction unit (technology described in WO 2007/117148), which uses nitrogen gas as a refrigerant, requires the power required for reliquefaction when the pressure of the boil-off compressor is 8 bara. While the pressure is about 2,776 kPa, the pressure of the boil-off gas compressor rises to 12 bara and rapidly decreases to 2,500 kPa. At pressures above 12 bara, the required power for reliquefaction is gradually reduced.
- the graph shown in FIG. 6C shows a change in power required when a hydrocarbon-based SMR is used as the refrigerant. Looking at the results, it can be seen that even when using the SMR as the refrigerant, the power required for reliquefaction is rapidly reduced when the pressure of the boil-off gas compressor is 12 bara compared to the pressure of the boil-off gas compressor is 8 bara. At pressures above 12 bara, the required power for reliquefaction is gradually reduced.
- composition of SMR was adjusted as shown in Table 1 below to optimize efficiency for each liquefaction pressure.
- the pressure range of the boil-off gas is preferably a medium pressure range, that is, 12 bara to 45 bara. If it is less than 12 bara, the power savings required for reliquefaction are not great, which is not preferable. In addition, when it exceeds 45 bara, compared with the power required for pressurization of the boil-off gas, the energy saving required for reliquefaction is not large, which is not preferable.
