Definitions
- the present invention relates to an LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) receiving structure.
- LNG Liquified Natural Gas
- This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-82770 for which it applied to Japan on April 4, 2011, and uses the content here.
- LNG composition, density (weight), physical properties, etc. vary depending on the production area and handling.
- development of a technique for mixing and storing different types of LNG has been promoted due to the necessity of receiving a plurality of types of LNG having different densities in the same LNG tank.
- this heterogeneous LNG mixed storage technology has great economic benefits such as promoting LNG transactions and distribution and reducing equipment costs, it can also take measures against rollover caused by stratification in the LNG tank. It is necessary to take.
- Stratification means that when multiple types of LNG with different densities are introduced into the LNG tank, large (heavy) LNG accumulates downward, and low density (light) LNG accumulates upward, resulting in multiple different densities. This means that a liquid layer is formed. Rollover is the heat energy accumulated in the lower layer until the layer boundary disappears when the density difference between the upper and lower layers decreases due to heat input from outside in the LNG tank layered as described above. Refers to a phenomenon in which a large amount of BOG (Boil Off Gas) is generated from the liquid surface in a short time.
- BOG Bit Off Gas
- this rollover If this rollover generates a BOG that exceeds the processing capacity of the BOG compressor, it is necessary to operate the safety valve to discharge the surplus BOG to the outside of the tank. However, a BOG exceeding the surplus BOG discharge capacity by this safety valve is generated. Then, the tank may be damaged. In order to avoid the occurrence of rollover, it is necessary to suppress stratification in the LNG tank as much as possible.
- a hopper for receiving LNG discharged from the lower end of the receiving pipe is provided.
- LNG When light LNG is introduced through the reed pipe while heavy LNG is accumulated in the LNG tank, it is difficult for light LNG to be discharged from the lower end of the reed pipe due to the density difference between the two LNG, and light LNG can overflow from the hopper. There is sex.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to suppress the risk of rollover when a plurality of types of LNG having different densities are stored in the same LNG tank.
- the LNG receiving structure includes a lead pipe that is installed below the receiving pipe that penetrates the roof of the LNG tank and extends to the bottom of the LNG tank. And the cross-sectional area of the said lead pipe is set larger than the cross-sectional area of the said receiving pipe.
- the lead pipe is installed in the pump barrel frame.
- the cross-sectional shape of the lead pipe may be set according to the cross-sectional shape of the internal space of the pump barrel frame.
- the lead pipe in the first or second aspect, includes an initial speed reduction of LNG discharged from the receiving pipe and an LNG lead pipe.
- a guide member that plays a role of guiding to the inner wall and a gas discharge port for discharging the gas rising from below the lead pipe to the outside are provided.
- the said guide member is a V-shaped board which makes reverse V shape
- the top part of the said V-shaped board is the said receiving
- the space inside the V-shaped plate is installed so as to face the discharge port of the tube and communicate with the gas discharge port.
- an exhaust pipe that communicates with the gas discharge port and extends upward is further provided.
- the LNG receiving structure of the present invention even if light LNG is introduced into the LNG tank through the reed pipe while heavy LNG is accumulated in the LNG tank, overflow of the light LNG from the upper end of the reed pipe is prevented. Can be suppressed. In other words, the light liquid overflowing the accumulated surface layer of heavy LNG is less likely to be stratified, and the risk of rollover due to this can be suppressed.

- the diameter D (cross-sectional area) of the lead tube 1 is set so as to satisfy the following conditions. (1) When the LNG discharged from the receiving pipe 102 is mixed with flash gas, the flash gas is separated before and after reaching the V-shaped plate 2 and the liquid level in the lead pipe 1 and below the V-shaped plate 2. The flash gas is rectified in the reed tube 1 and discharged from the inside of the V-shaped plate 2, and the flow rate becomes high enough for bubbles of the flash gas in the reed tube 1 to rise.
- the V-shaped plate 2 has an inverted V-shape, the top portion 2a of the V-shaped plate 2 faces the discharge port 102a of the receiving pipe 102, and the space 2b (a pair of inclined portions 2c and 2d inside the V-shaped plate 2). The space between the gas outlet 3 and the gas exhaust port 3 communicates.
- the LNG unloaded from the LNG tanker is transferred to the LNG tank through the receiving pipe 102 and the lead pipe 1.
- This LNG often becomes a gas-liquid mixed fluid containing flash gas (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as gas) due to saturation vapor pressure.
- gas gas-liquid mixed fluid containing flash gas
- the light LNG discharged from the discharge port 102a of the receiving pipe 102 collides with the V-shaped plate 2 and hits one inclined portion 2c of the V-shaped plate 2.
- the flow is divided into the flow along the other inclined portion 2d.
- Light LNG shunted by the V-shaped plate 2 falls along the inner wall of the reed tube 1.
- the flash gas mixed in the light LNG discharged from the discharge port 102a of the receiving pipe 102 collides with the LNG together with the V-shaped plate 2 and flows along one inclined portion 2c of the V-shaped plate 2, In the process of colliding with the reed pipe 1, the initial speed is reduced and part of the LNG is separated from the LNG.
- the light (even if heavy) LNG forms a thin film, and the gas-liquid separation is further promoted by increasing the contact area with the gas.
- Gas separates from light LNG.
- the separated gas rises in the lead tube 1 and reaches the space 2b inside the V-shaped plate 2.
- the gas that has reached the space 2b inside the V-shaped plate 2 is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 4 from the gas discharge port 3 communicating with the space 2b.
- the increase in the cross-sectional area and inner peripheral surface area of the lead pipe 1 reduces the flow rate of LNG (accepting liquid) mixed with the flash gas flowing down from the receiving pipe 102 into the lead pipe 1 and improves the separation and raising performance of the flash gas.
- LNG accepting liquid
- the increase in the velocity pressure and the internal pressure of the inflowing liquid and the gas it is possible to suppress excessive gas dissolution (reliquefaction) and entrainment.
- the separation of the flash gas from the received liquid can be improved and separated and raised. It is possible to rectify the flushing gas and the receiving liquid flowing down, discharge the separated flushing gas to the outside of the reed pipe 1, and secure the flow path of the receiving liquid. Further, by providing the exhaust pipe 4 extending upward, when the liquid level in the LNG tank reaches the gas discharge port 3, the liquid enters the lead pipe 1 from the gas discharge port 3, and the gas It is possible to prevent the discharge and introduction of light LNG from being inhibited.
- the diameter D of the lead pipe 1 when the diameter D of the lead pipe 1 is set to 5 to 2.5 times the diameter d of the receiving pipe 102, a steady and stable liquid surface is formed, and bubbles are formed from the liquid surface. It can be seen that the distance to the upper end is short (the bubble formation height is low) (that is, it is difficult to overflow from the reed tube 1). On the other hand, when the diameter D of the lead pipe 1 is set to twice the diameter d of the receiving pipe 102, an uneasy liquid level is formed, and the distance from the liquid level to the upper end of bubble formation is long (the bubble formation height is (In other words, LNG tends to overflow from the lead tube 1).
- the present embodiment even if light LNG is introduced into the LNG tank through the reed pipe 1 while heavy LNG is accumulated in the LNG tank, the light LNG does not easily overflow from the upper end of the reed pipe 1. That is, layering due to accumulation of light liquid overflowing on the surface layer of heavy LNG is difficult to occur, so that it is possible to suppress the risk of rollover caused by that.

Description
本願は、2011年4月4日に日本に出願された特願2011-82770号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
なお、従来におけるLNGタンクのLNG受入構造については、下記特許文献1、2を参照されたい。
〔第1実施形態〕
図1Aは、第1実施形態におけるLNG受入構造LSの斜視図であり、図1Bは、LNG受入構造LSの図1AにおけるA-A矢視断面図である。
(1)受入管102から吐出されるLNGにフラッシュガスが混在している場合、このフラッシュガスはリード管1内のV字板2及び液面到達前後において分離され、V字板2より下部のフラッシュガスはリード管1内で整流されてV字板2の内側から排出され、リード管1内のフラッシュガスの気泡が上昇するのに十分な流速になる。
(2)リード管1内にて気液の流れを乱さずに定常的に安定した液面を形成し、液面から気泡形成上端(気相と液相が混ざり合っている領域の上端)までの距離を短く(気泡の形成高さを低く)できる(その結果、LNGがリード管1から溢れにくくなる)。
LNGタンカーから陸揚げされたLNGは、受入管102及びリード管1を通じてLNGタンクに移送される。このLNGは、飽和蒸気圧の関係でフラッシュガス(以下、ガスと略す場合がある)を含む気液混合流体となる場合が多い。陸揚げされたLNGが相対的に軽く、フラッシュガスを含む場合、受入管102の吐出口102aから吐出された軽いLNGは、V字板2に衝突し、V字板2の一方の傾斜部2cに沿って流れるものと、他方の傾斜部2dに沿って流れるものとに分流する。V字板2によって分流した軽いLNGは、それぞれリード管1の内壁に沿って落下する。
一方、受入管102の吐出口102aから吐出された軽いLNGに混入しているフラッシュガスはLNGと共にV字板2に衝突し、V字板2の一方の傾斜部2cに沿って流れるものと、他方の傾斜部2dに沿って流れるものとに分流され、リード管1に衝突する過程で初速が低減されると共に、一部がLNGから分離される。
次に、本発明の第2実施形態について説明する。図3Aは、第2実施形態におけるLNG受入構造LS’の全体像を示す側面図であり、図3Bは、図3AにおけるB-B矢視断面図である。また、図3Cは、図3BにおけるC-C矢視断面図である。
仕切り部材12は、自身の外壁とリード管10の内壁との間の空間をLNG流路FLとし、自身の内部空間をガス流路FGとする筒状部材である。なお、図3Cでは、仕切り部材12がリード管10の内部に1個だけ設けられている状態を図示しているが、リード管10の長さ方向に沿って複数個の仕切り部材12を一定間隔で配置しても良い。また、必要に応じて、第1実施形態と同様、ガス排出口と連通し、上方へ向かって延びる排気管4を設けても良い。
第1実施形態と同様に、LNGタンカーから陸揚げされた軽いLNGは、受入管102及びリード管10を通じてLNGタンクに移送される。この軽いLNGは、フラッシュガスを含む気液混合流体である。受入管102の吐出口102aから吐出された軽いLNGは、案内部材11に衝突して初速が低減されると共に、案内部材11の一方の傾斜部11cに沿って流れるものと他方の傾斜部11dに沿って流れるものとに分流する。案内部材11によって分流した軽いLNGは、それぞれリード管10の内壁に沿って落下する。
また、上記第2実施形態では、断面形状が三角形状のポンプバレル架構を例示したが、ポンプバレル架構の断面形状もこれに限定されない。
