- the exhaust gas that flows into the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 is introduced into the second oxidation treatment section 50.
- the second methane oxidation catalyst 52 oxidizes the unburned methane contained in the introduced exhaust gas.
- the temperature of the exhaust gas that has passed through the second oxidation treatment section 50 rises due to the oxidation of the unburned methane in the second oxidation treatment section 50.

- All exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 of the engine 20A is introduced into the turbocharger 30 from the manifold 24 of the exhaust section 22.
- the turbocharger 30 is driven by the exhaust gas introduced into the turbocharger 30, and air is supplied to the engine 20A.
- the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 flows from the exhaust pipe 102 into the first oxidizer bypass pipe 105, bypasses the first oxidizer 40, and is released into the atmosphere from the funnel 9 through the exhaust duct 43.
- exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 of the engine 20A is sent to the turbocharger 30 and the turbocharger bypass pipe 103.
- the turbocharger 30 is driven by the exhaust gas and supplies air to the engine 20A.
- the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 flows through the exhaust pipe 102.
- the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 to the exhaust pipe 102 is lowered in temperature by performing work to supply air to the engine 20A.
- the exhaust gas sent to the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 is introduced into the second oxidation treatment unit 50.
- the second oxidation treatment unit 50 oxidizes the unburned methane contained in the introduced exhaust gas using the second methane oxidation catalyst 52.
- the exhaust gas sent out from the second oxidation treatment unit 50 has a higher temperature than the exhaust gas introduced into the second oxidation treatment unit 50.
- the exhaust gas discharged from the second oxidation treatment unit 50 passes through the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 and merges with the exhaust pipe 102.
- the exhaust gas is introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 through the exhaust pipe 102.
- the exhaust gas introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 is a mixture of the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 and the exhaust gas discharged from the second oxidation treatment unit 50, which join together in the exhaust pipe 102.
- the exhaust gas discharged from the second oxidation treatment unit 50 is hotter than the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30, so the exhaust gas mixed with the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 and the exhaust gas discharged from the second oxidation treatment unit 50 is hotter than the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30. This makes it possible to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 compared to a case in which the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 and the second oxidation treatment unit 50 are not provided.
- the second oxidation treatment unit 50 is provided midway through the turbocharger bypass pipe 103, and is not provided between the exhaust section 22 and the turbocharger 30. Therefore, the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 is directly fed to the turbocharger 30. Therefore, a decrease in the drive efficiency of the turbocharger 30 is suppressed. As a result, it is possible to satisfactorily oxidize the unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas, and to suppress a decrease in the drive efficiency of the turbocharger 30.
- the engine is further provided with a valve 60A that opens and closes the flow path of the exhaust gas from the exhaust section 22 to the turbocharger bypass pipe 103.
- a valve 60A that opens and closes the flow path of the exhaust gas from the exhaust section 22 to the turbocharger bypass pipe 103.
- the engine 20A can be fueled by switching between methane and heavy oil.
- methane when used as fuel, by opening the valve 60A, the unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas can be oxidized sequentially by the second oxidation treatment unit 50 and the first oxidation treatment unit 40.
- valve 60A when heavy oil is used as fuel and the exhaust gas does not contain unburned methane, the valve 60A can be closed and the exhaust gas can be sent only to the turbocharger 30 without being sent to the second oxidation treatment unit 50. This allows the turbocharger 30 to be driven efficiently.
- the sulfur contained in the exhaust gas when heavy oil is used as fuel, the sulfur contained in the exhaust gas can be prevented from reaching the second oxidation treatment unit 50, and the impact on the second methane oxidation catalyst 52 can be reduced.
- the switching unit 110 can switch the introduction destination of the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 between the exhaust pipe 102 and the first oxidizer bypass pipe 105 .
- the switching unit 110 causes the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 to be introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 via the exhaust pipe 102, so that the unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas can be oxidized in the first oxidation treatment unit 40, as described above.
- the switching unit 110 causes the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 to be introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit bypass pipe 105, so that the exhaust gas is not introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 and can be efficiently discharged through the first oxidation treatment unit bypass pipe 105.
- the capacity of the turbocharger 30 is set according to the flow rate of air to be supplied to the engine 20A.
- the surplus exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 that is not supplied to the turbocharger 30 is introduced into the turbocharger bypass pipe 103.
- the pipe diameter (inner diameter) D2 of the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 smaller than the pipe diameter (inner diameter) D1 of the exhaust pipe 102, it can be made to correspond to the flow rate of exhaust gas introduced into the turbocharger bypass pipe 103. This ensures the capacity of the turbocharger 30 while efficiently oxidizing the unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas.
- the temperature of the exhaust gas introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 is lower than the temperature of the exhaust gas introduced into the second oxidation treatment unit 50, and the efficiency of oxidation treatment of the unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas is higher in the second oxidation treatment unit 50 than in the first oxidation treatment unit 40.
- the efficiency of the methane oxidation treatment can be further increased, and the total amount of active components in the first methane oxidation catalyst 42 and the second methane oxidation catalyst 52 combined can be reduced.
- the first methane oxidation catalyst 42 and the second methane oxidation catalyst 52 contain the same active component. This allows the first oxidation treatment unit 40 and the second oxidation treatment unit 50 to be manufactured efficiently.

- the engine system 10A can also be applied to engine systems used in various facilities on land, for example.

- the turbocharger 30 is connected to an end of the manifold 24 on the downstream side in the flow direction of the exhaust gas. A portion of the exhaust gas flowing through the manifold 24 is introduced into the turbocharger 30.
- the turbocharger 30 in this second embodiment is a high-efficiency turbocharger that is more efficient than a turbocharger used in a general engine system that uses only methane as fuel. As a result, the flow rate of the exhaust gas from the engine 20B exceeds the flow rate of the exhaust gas required by the turbocharger 30, and as in the first embodiment, an excess of exhaust gas may occur. Exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 flows through the exhaust pipe 102 .
- the exhaust gas is introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 via the exhaust pipe 102.
- the exhaust gas introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 is a mixture of the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 and the exhaust gas discharged from the second oxidation treatment unit 50.
- the second oxidation treatment section 50 is provided midway through the turbocharger bypass pipe 103.
- the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 allows a portion of the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 to bypass the turbocharger 30 and merge with the exhaust pipe 102.
- Exhaust gas is introduced into the second oxidation treatment unit 50 via a turbocharger bypass pipe 103 .
- the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 is provided with a valve 60B in an upstream portion 103p located upstream of the second oxidation treatment unit 50 in the exhaust gas flow direction.
- the engine system 10B in this second embodiment does not include the first oxidation treatment unit bypass pipe 105 and the switching unit 110 of the engine system 10A exemplified in the first embodiment above.
- the valve 60B is adjusted in opening depending on the rotation speed of the engine 20B, the rotation speed of the turbocharger 30, etc. Specifically, when the flow rate of exhaust gas from the engine 20B exceeds the flow rate of exhaust gas required by the turbocharger 30 and an excess of exhaust gas is generated, the valve 60B is opened at an opening according to the excess.
- the valve 60B may be always open while the engine 20B is operating, or when no excess of exhaust gas is generated, the valve 60B may be fully closed. When the valve 60B is open, the remaining part (excess) of the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 of the engine 20B flows from the manifold 24 into the turbocharger bypass pipe 103.
- the exhaust gas that flows into the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 is introduced into the second oxidation treatment unit 50.
- the second methane oxidation catalyst 52 oxidizes the unburned methane contained in the introduced exhaust gas.
- the exhaust gas that has passed through the second oxidation treatment unit 50 has a higher temperature due to the oxidation process than the exhaust gas introduced into the second oxidation treatment unit 50. Therefore, the temperature of the mixed gas (exhaust gas) in which the exhaust gas that has passed through the turbocharger 30 and the exhaust gas that has passed through the second oxidation treatment unit 50 are mixed is higher than the temperature of the exhaust gas that has passed through the turbocharger 30.
- the exhaust gas with the increased temperature is introduced from the exhaust pipe 102 to the first oxidation treatment unit 40.
- the first methane oxidation catalyst 42 oxidizes the unburned methane contained in the introduced exhaust gas.
- the exhaust gas that has passed through the first oxidation treatment unit 40 is released into the atmosphere from the funnel 9 through the exhaust duct 43.
- the engine system 10A, 10B includes an engine 20A, 20B driven by methane as fuel, a turbocharger 30 that is driven by exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 of the engine 20A, 20B to supply air to the engine 20A, 20B, an exhaust pipe 102 through which the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 flows, a first oxidation treatment section 40 into which the exhaust gas is introduced via the exhaust pipe 102 and which contains a first methane oxidation catalyst 42, a turbocharger bypass pipe 103 that causes a portion of the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 to bypass the turbocharger 30 and merge with the exhaust pipe 102, and a second oxidation treatment section 50 that is provided midway through the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 and contains a second methane oxidation catalyst 52.
- exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 of the engine 20A, 20B is sent to a turbocharger 30 and a turbocharger bypass pipe 103.
- the turbocharger 30 is driven by the exhaust gas and supplies air to the engines 20A, 20B.
- the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 flows through an exhaust pipe 102.
- the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 to the exhaust pipe 102 has a lowered temperature by performing work to supply air to the engines 20A, 20B.
- the exhaust gas sent to the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 is introduced into the second oxidation treatment unit 50.
- the second oxidation treatment unit 50 oxidizes the unburned methane contained in the introduced exhaust gas by a second methane oxidation catalyst 52.
- the temperature of the exhaust gas sent out from the second oxidation treatment unit 50 is increased.
- the exhaust gas discharged from the second oxidation treatment unit 50 is passed through the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 and merges with the exhaust pipe 102.
- a mixture of exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 and exhaust gas discharged from the second oxidation treatment unit 50, which have joined together inside the exhaust pipe 102, is introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 through an exhaust pipe 102. Since the exhaust gas discharged from the second oxidation treatment unit 50 has a higher temperature than the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30, the temperature of the exhaust gas introduced into the first oxidation treatment unit 40 is higher.
- the first methane oxidation catalyst 42 has a higher oxidation rate of methane as the temperature of the exhaust gas introduced therein is higher. Therefore, methane can be efficiently oxidized in the first oxidation treatment unit 40.
- the second oxidation treatment unit 50 is provided midway through the turbocharger bypass pipe 103, and is not provided between the exhaust section 22 and the turbocharger 30. Therefore, the exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust section 22 is directly fed to the turbocharger 30. Therefore, a decrease in the drive efficiency of the turbocharger 30 is suppressed. As a result, it is possible to satisfactorily oxidize the unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas, and to suppress a decrease in the drive efficiency of the turbocharger 30.
- the engine system 10A, 10B according to the second aspect is the engine system 10A, 10B of (1), further comprising a valve 60A, 60B that opens and closes the flow path of the exhaust gas from the exhaust section 22 to the turbocharger bypass pipe 103.
- the flow path of the exhaust gas from the exhaust section 22 to the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 is opened and closed, and the supply of exhaust gas from the exhaust section 22 to the second oxidation treatment section 50 can be interrupted. Therefore, when oxidation treatment of the unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas in the second oxidation treatment section 50 is not necessary, the supply of exhaust gas to the second oxidation treatment section 50 can be stopped.
- the engine system 10A according to the third aspect is the engine system 10A of (2), in which the engine 20A switches between using methane and heavy oil as fuel.
- the unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas can be oxidized sequentially in the second oxidation treatment unit 50 and the first oxidation treatment unit 40.
- the exhaust gas does not contain unburned methane. Therefore, by closing the valve 60A, the exhaust gas can be sent only to the turbocharger 30 without being sent to the second oxidation treatment unit 50. This allows the turbocharger 30 to be driven efficiently.
- the sulfur content contained in the exhaust gas can be prevented from reaching the second oxidation treatment unit 50, and the second methane oxidation catalyst 52 can be prevented from being adversely affected.
- the engine system 10A according to the fourth aspect is the engine system 10A according to (3), further comprising a first oxidation treatment unit bypass pipe 105 that causes the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 to bypass the first oxidation treatment unit 40, and a switching unit 110 that switches the introduction destination of the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 between the exhaust pipe 102 and the first oxidation treatment unit bypass pipe 105.
- the switching unit 110 allows the switching unit 110 to switch the introduction destination of the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 between the exhaust pipe 102 and the first oxidizer bypass pipe 105 .
- the switching unit 110 introduces the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 into the exhaust pipe 102, whereby the unburned methane contained in the exhaust gas can be oxidized sequentially in the second oxidation treatment unit 50 and the first oxidation treatment unit 40.
- the exhaust gas does not contain unburned methane. Therefore, by using the switching unit 110 to introduce the exhaust gas discharged from the turbocharger 30 into the first oxidizer bypass pipe 105, the exhaust gas can be efficiently discharged through the first oxidizer bypass pipe 105 without being sent to the first oxidizer 40.
- the engine system 10A, 10B according to the fifth aspect is any one of the engine systems 10A, 10B of (1) to (4), in which the pipe diameter D2 of the turbocharger bypass pipe 103 is smaller than the pipe diameter D1 of the exhaust pipe 102.

Abstract
Description
本願は、2022年10月4日に日本に出願された特願2022-159920号について優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
以下、本開示の実施形態に係るエンジンシステム、船舶について、図1~図6を参照して説明する。
(船舶の構成)
図1に示すように、この第一実施形態の船舶1は、船体2と、エンジンシステム10Aと、を少なくとも備えている。船舶1の船種は、例えば、ばら積み貨物船、液化天然ガス(LNG)、二酸化炭素、アンモニア等の液化ガスの運搬船、フェリー、RO-RO船(Roll-on/Roll-off船)、PCTC(Pure Car & Truck Carrier)、客船等を例示できる。
船体2は、その外殻をなす、一対の舷側3A,3Bと、船底4と、上甲板5と、底部甲板6と、を有している。舷側3A,3Bは、左右舷側をそれぞれ形成する一対の舷側外板を有する。船底4は、これら舷側3A,3Bを接続する船底外板を有する。これら一対の舷側3A,3B及び船底4により、船体2の外殻は、船首尾方向Daに直交する断面において、U字状を成している。この第一実施形態で例示する上甲板5は、外部に露出する全通甲板である。底部甲板6は、船体2内に設けられ、船底外板と共に二重底を構成している。船体2には、例えば船尾2b側の上甲板5上に、居住区を有する上部構造7が形成されている。なお、上部構造7の位置や大きさは、適宜変更可能である。
図2は、本開示の第一実施形態に係るエンジンシステムの構成を示す図である。
エンジンシステム10Aは、船体2内に設けられている。
図2に示すように、エンジンシステム10Aは、エンジン20Aと、過給機30と、第一酸化処理部40と、第二酸化処理部50と、を主に備えている。
図3に示すように、第一メタン酸化触媒42、及び第二メタン酸化触媒52においては、排出ガスの温度が高いほど、メタンの酸化率が高くなる。このため、排出ガスの温度がなるべく高い領域で、メタンの未燃分の酸化処理を行うのが好ましい。この第一実施形態では、第二メタン酸化触媒52の触媒成分の濃度を、第一メタン酸化触媒42の触媒成分の濃度よりも高くすることで、メタンの酸化処理効率を、より高めることができ、且つ第一メタン酸化触媒42と第二メタン酸化触媒52とを合計した全体の活性成分の量を低減させることができる。
この第一実施形態におけるエンジンシステム10Aは、上記のような第一酸化処理部バイパス管105及び切替部110を備えることで、排出ガスの導入先を第一酸化処理部40では無く第一酸化処理部バイパス管105に切り替えることが可能となり、その結果、過給機30から排出管102に排出された排出ガスを、第一酸化処理部40を迂回して、排気ダクト43に至るようにすることができる。
図4に示すように、上記エンジンシステム10Aでは、エンジン20Aの燃料としてメタンを用いる場合、弁60A、及び第一切換弁111を開き、第二切換弁112を閉じる。エンジン20Aの排気部22から排出される排出ガスの一部は、排気部22のマニホールド24から過給機30に導入される。過給機30に導入された排出ガスにより、過給機30が駆動され、エンジン20Aに空気が供給される。過給機30から排出管102に排出される排出ガスは、エンジン20Aに空気を供給するための仕事をすることで、温度低下する。
図5に示すように、エンジンシステム10Aでは、エンジン20Aの燃料として重油を用いる場合、弁60A、及び第一切換弁111を閉じ、第二切換弁112を開く。エンジン20Aの排気部22から排出される排出ガスの全てが、排気部22のマニホールド24から過給機30に導入される。過給機30に導入された排出ガスにより、過給機30が駆動され、エンジン20Aに空気が供給される。過給機30から排出された排出ガスは、排出管102から第一酸化処理部バイパス管105に流入し、第一酸化処理部40を迂回して、排気ダクト43を通じてファンネル9から大気中に放出される。
上記第一実施形態のエンジンシステム10A、船舶1では、エンジン20Aの排気部22から排出される排出ガスが、過給機30と、過給機バイパス管103とに送り出される。過給機30は、排出ガスによって駆動され、エンジン20Aに空気を供給する。過給機30から排出される排出ガスは、排出管102を流通する。過給機30から排出管102に排出される排出ガスは、エンジン20Aに空気を供給するための仕事をすることで、温度低下する。
その結果、排出ガスに含まれるメタンの未燃分を良好に酸化処理するとともに、過給機30の駆動効率の低下を抑えることが可能となる。
これにより、弁60Aを開閉することで、排気部22から第二酸化処理部50への排出ガスの供給を断続することができる。したがって、エンジン20Aの燃料として重油を用い、第二酸化処理部50においてメタンの未燃分の酸化処理が不必要な場合、第二酸化処理部50への排出ガスの供給を停止することができる。
これにより、燃料としてメタンを利用する場合、弁60Aを開くことによって、排出ガスに含まれるメタンの未燃分を、第二酸化処理部50と、第一酸化処理部40とによって、順次酸化処理することができる。
これにより、例えば、燃料としてメタンを利用する場合には、切替部110により、過給機30から排出される排出ガスを、排出管102を介して第一酸化処理部40に導入させることによって、上記したように、排出ガスに含まれるメタンの未燃分を、第一酸化処理部40で酸化処理することができる。
その一方で、燃料として、排出ガスにメタンの未燃分が含まれていない重油を用いる場合には、切替部110により、過給機30から排出される排出ガスを、第一酸化処理部バイパス管105に導入させることで、排出ガスを第一酸化処理部40に導入させず、第一酸化処理部バイパス管105を通して効率良く排出することができる。
なお、上記第一実施形態では、エンジンシステム10Aが、船舶1に設けられている場合を一例にして説明したが、エンジンシステム10Aは、船舶1に設けられる構成に限られない。エンジンシステム10Aは、例えば、陸上における各種設備で用いられるエンジンシステムにも適用可能である。
次に、本開示に係るエンジンシステムの第二実施形態について説明する。この第二実施形態は、第一実施形態とエンジンシステムの一部の構成のみが異なるため、第一実施形態と同一部分に同一符号を付して説明するとともに、重複説明を省略する。
(エンジンシステムの構成)
図6は、本開示の第二実施形態に係るエンジンシステムの構成を示す図である。
図6に示すように、この第二実施形態に例示するエンジンシステム10Bは、エンジン20Bと、過給機30と、第一酸化処理部40と、第二酸化処理部50と、を備えている。
排出管102は、過給機30から排出される排出ガスが流通する。
過給機バイパス管103のうち、第二酸化処理部50よりも排出ガスの流れ方向上流側に位置する上流部103pには、弁60Bが設けられている。
上記第二実施形態のエンジンシステム10Bにおいても、上記第一実施形態と同様、排出ガスに含まれるメタンの未燃分を良好に酸化処理するとともに、過給機30の駆動効率の低下を抑えることが可能となる。
以上、本開示の実施の形態について図面を参照して詳述したが、具体的な構成はこの実施の形態に限られるものではなく、本開示の要旨を逸脱しない範囲の設計変更等も含まれる。
上記各実施形態で示したエンジンシステム10A,10Bの構成は一例であって、各部の構成は適宜変更可能である。
また、エンジンシステム10A,10Bの用途については、何ら限定するものではなく、様々な用途に利用可能である。
各実施形態に記載のエンジンシステム10A,10B、船舶1は、例えば以下のように把握される。
過給機バイパス管103に送り出された排出ガスは、第二酸化処理部50に導入される。第二酸化処理部50は、導入された排出ガスに含まれるメタンの未燃分を、第二メタン酸化触媒52により酸化処理する。メタンの未燃分が酸化処理されることで、第二酸化処理部50から送り出される排出ガスは、温度上昇している。第二酸化処理部50から排出された排出ガスは、過給機バイパス管103を通して、排出管102に合流させる。
第一酸化処理部40には、排出管102を通して、排出管102内で合流した、過給機30から排出された排出ガスと、第二酸化処理部50から排出された排出ガスとが混合された排出ガスが導入される。第二酸化処理部50から排出された排出ガスは、過給機30から排出された排出ガスよりも高温であるため、第一酸化処理部40に導入される排出ガスの温度が高くなる。第一メタン酸化触媒42は、導入される排出ガスの温度が高いほど、メタンの酸化率が高まる。このため、第一酸化処理部40で、メタンを効率良く酸化処理することができる。
また、第二酸化処理部50は、過給機バイパス管103の中途に設けられており、排気部22と過給機30との間には設けられていない。このため、過給機30には、排気部22から排出される排出ガスがダイレクトに送り込まれる。したがって、過給機30の駆動効率の低下が抑えられている。
その結果、排出ガスに含まれるメタンの未燃分を良好に酸化処理するとともに、過給機30の駆動効率の低下を抑えることが可能となる。
また、燃料として重油を用いる場合、排出ガスにメタンの未燃分が含まれていない。このため、弁60Aを閉じることで、排出ガスを第二酸化処理部50に送らず、過給機30のみに送り込むことができる。これにより、過給機30を効率良く駆動できる。また、重油を燃料として利用した場合に排出ガスに含まれる硫黄分が、第二酸化処理部50に及ぶのを抑え、第二メタン酸化触媒52に悪影響が及ぶのを抑えることができる。
燃料としてメタンを利用する場合、切替部110により、過給機30から排出される排出ガスを、排出管102に導入させることによって、排出ガスに含まれるメタンの未燃分を、第二酸化処理部50と、第一酸化処理部40とで、順次酸化処理することができる。
また、燃料として重油を用いる場合、排出ガスにメタンの未燃分が含まれていない。このため、切替部110により、過給機30から排出される排出ガスを、第一酸化処理部バイパス管105に導入させることで、排出ガスを第一酸化処理部40に送らず、第一酸化処理部バイパス管105を通して効率良く排出することができる。
