  • FIG. 1 which is not to scale, shows a sectional view of one embodiment of the boat 10 which is the subject of the present invention.
  • This vessel 10 refueling liquefied natural gas comprises:
  • said displacement means comprising a means 120 for displacing liquefied natural gas and
  • Each first reservoir 105 is, for example, a closed vessel having a tank supply valve through an LNG supply line.
  • the LNG stored in each first tank 105 is, for example, stored at atmospheric pressure.
  • the total storage volume of all the first tanks 105 is, for example, between 1,000 and 20,000 cubic meters.
  • the boat 10 comprises a single first tank 105 of significant dimensions compared to the storage volume dimensions of the second tanks 1 10, that is to say having a storage volume equal to half the total storage volume of the set of tanks, 105 and 1 10, of the boat 10.
  • the LNG stored in a first tank 105 is stored at a pressure lower than the storage pressure of the LNG in the second tanks 1 10.
  • Each second tank 1 10 is, for example, a tank having a container shape. Each second tank 1 10 has a feed opening (not shown) connectable to a supply line.
  • Each second tank 1 10 comprises a means of attachment 125 to the boat 10.
  • This attachment means 125 is, for example, an assembly formed by chains and rings connecting the second tank 1 10 to the boat 10.
  • the attachment each second tank 1 10 is made, for example, by the setting a crane present on a wharf, on a nearby ship or on the boat itself.
  • Each second tank 1 10 may be attached to the vessel 10 empty, partially filled or completely filled with LNG.
  • At least a second tank 1 10 has standardized dimensions, including the transport of the tank on a truck.
  • the displacement means 1 15 is, for example, an LNG pump suctioning the LNG at atmospheric pressure from a first tank 105 to move this LNG in a second tank 1 10. Before being moved, the LNG is compressed by the compression means 120.
  • the compression means 120 is, for example, the pump performing the displacement of the LNG. LNG is compressed at a pressure higher than the first pressure. For example, this LNG is compressed at a pressure greater than 2 bar and preferably between 2 bar and 25 bar.
  • the displacement means 1 comprises a pipe 130 for transferring liquefied natural gas from a first reservoir 105 to a tank (not shown), a other craft (not shown) for storing liquefied natural gas at first pressure.
  • This transfer line 130 allows the LNG feed of a vessel operating on the basis of LNG at atmospheric pressure.
  • the transfer of LNG carried out in this transfer line 130 is set in motion, for example, by the displacement means 1 15.
  • the boat 1 10 comprises a means for selecting a pipe supplied by the means of displacement 1 15.
  • the transfer pipe 130 is merged with a pipe for supplying a second tank 1 10, this transfer pipe 130 being movable from a second tank to the tertiary tank.
  • the boat 10 is approached to the vessel to be refueled LNG and the transfer pipe 130 is attached to an opening of the tank in which the LNG is transferred.
  • the moving means 1 is configured to supply a reservoir (not shown), separate from the boat 10, liquefied natural gas at the first pressure.
  • the displacement means 1 15 feeds this tank by the implementation of a feed means 135.
  • This supply means is, for example, a transfer line similar to the transfer line 130.
  • the compression means 140 is, for example, similar to the compression means 120.
  • the transfer line 130 and / or the feed means 135 are supported by an articulated arm.
  • this feed means 135 comprises a compression means 140.
  • the compression means 140 and the compression means 120 are combined, the feed means 135 implementing the moving means 1 15 to feed the compression means 120 and the tank of the other boat.
  • the boat 10 is approached to the boat to refuel in LNG and the transfer pipe 130 is attached to an opening of the tank in which the LNG is fed.
  • the feed is made by transferring a second tank 1 10 from the boat 10 to the boat to be refueled.
  • This transfer is achieved, for example, by the implementation of a crane moving the second tank 1 10 to the boat to be refueled.
  • This second tank 1 10 is then connected by a pipe to an internal propulsion system of the boat to supply the system with pressurized LNG.
  • the boat 10 comprises:
  • the gas capture means 145 is, for example, similar to a hood extracting evaporation gas more volatile than LNG.
  • the compression means 150 is, for example, a compressor.
  • the feed means 155 is, for example, similar to the displacement means 1 15. In variants, the feed means 155 and the moving means 1 15 are merged.
  • the boat 10 comprises a means 160 for cooling the evaporation gas captured before compression.
  • This cooling means 160 is, for example, a heat exchanger. This heat exchanger cools the evaporation gas captured at a temperature below -160 ° C, for example.
  • this cooling means 160 comprises means 165 for mixing evaporation gas captured with LNG contained in a first tank 105, the LNG having a temperature below the temperature of the evaporation gas.
  • This mixing means 165 is, for example, a pump sucking a portion of the LNG from a first reservoir 105 for transferring this sucked LNG to a pipe or tank containing the evaporation gas.
  • FIG. 2 shows a particular embodiment of the method that is the subject of the present invention.
  • This method of refueling liquefied natural gas comprises:
  • a second step 610 for filling at least one second removable tank of liquefied natural gas, stored at a pressure, greater than the first pressure, greater than 2 bar, of a refueling boat which comprises a step 615 of moving a portion of the liquefied natural gas from a first reservoir to a second reservoir, the displacement step comprising a step 620 of displaced gas compression and
  • the filling step 605 is performed, for example, by the implementation of an LNG transfer line from an external source to a first reservoir as described with reference to Figure 1, for example.
  • This external source is, for example, a stationary distribution station or a refueling boat.
  • the filling step 610 comprises the displacement step 615 and the compression step 620.
  • the displacement step 615 is carried out, for example, by the implementation of a pump sucking a part of the LNG in a first stage. tank.
  • the compression step 620 is performed, for example, by the pump displacing and compressing the LNG.
  • the fixing step 625 is carried out, for example, by the implementation of chaining and rings to fix at least a second reservoir to a support surface of the boat.
  • the method 20 comprises a step 630 for setting the boat in motion at least partly simultaneously with the secondary filling step 610.
  • the step of setting in motion 630 is carried out, for example, by the implementation of a motor or a means of propulsion of the boat.
  • the boat and the method that are the subject of the present invention make it possible, thanks to a single supply of LNG, to be able to supply LNG at two different pressures. These two pressures correspond to the pressures implemented by vessels using LNG as fuel.
  • the loading and unloading of second tanks also makes it possible to create ad hoc distribution stations from a set of second tanks and a means for extracting the LNG contained in these tanks.
  • a third circuit for moving the LNG from a second tank to another second tank outside the boat and a fourth circuit for moving the LNG from a first tank to another first tank outside the boat.
  • Each of these circuits may be distinct from the other circuits or may comprise common elements, such as the displacement means 1 described with reference to FIG. 1.
  • each second tank and means configured to fill them during the navigation of the boat saves time. Indeed, the compression of LNG is a long process. Pressurizing the LNG on the boat saves time in the service.
  • each second tank can then be delivered directly, by exchange with a second empty tank.
  • a fifth circuit makes it possible to recover and compress the evaporation gas in a first tank and to transfer it to a second tank.
  • the evaporation gas is liquefied during compression.
