- Processors are considered processing circuits or circuits because they include transistors and other circuitry.

- FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control system of the low-temperature gas release system 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the first release valve 32, the second release valve 33, and the emergency release valve 71 are connected to the controller 4, and the controller 4 opens and closes the first release valve 32, the second release valve 33, and the emergency release valve 71.
- a pressure sensor 11 and a temperature sensor 12 are connected to the controller 4, and detection data is output from these instruments to the controller 4.
- the pressure sensor 11 detects the pressure in the space containing the liquefied gas in the liquefied gas tank 10 (hereinafter referred to as the "tank pressure").
- the temperature sensor 12 detects the temperature of the boil-off gas flowing into the release tower 6. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 12 is located downstream of the second connection part 37 of the main release line 30, but the temperature sensor 12 may also be located in the release tower 6.
- the controller 4 monitors the pressure inside the tank detected by the pressure sensor 11 while the liquefied gas is stored in the liquefied gas tank 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the controller 4 stores the operating pressure range of the liquefied gas tank 10, the alarm pressure P1, the release start pressure P2, the emergency release pressure P3, the design pressure P4 of the liquefied gas tank 10, and the release end pressure P5.
- the emergency release pressure P3 is equal to or lower than the design pressure P4
- the release start pressure P2 is lower than the emergency release pressure P3
- the alarm pressure P1 is equal to or lower than the release start pressure P2
- the release end pressure P5 is lower than the alarm pressure P1 (P4 ⁇ P3>P2 ⁇ P1>P5).
- the release end pressure P5 is a value within the operating pressure range of the liquefied gas tank 10.
- the alarm pressure P1 may be the upper limit of the operating pressure range of the liquefied gas tank 10 or a higher pressure.
- the alarm pressure P1 is a pressure threshold that triggers the operation of the low-temperature gas release system 1.
- it is preferable that the pressure at which the safety valve 56 of the emergency vent line 55 operates is lower than the design pressure P4 and higher than the emergency release pressure P3.
- the controller 4 monitors the temperature of the boil-off gas detected by the temperature sensor 12 while the boil-off gas is being released from the release tower 6. If the temperature of the boil-off gas detected by the temperature sensor 12 falls below the release temperature, measures such as increasing the heating temperature of the boil-off gas by the heat exchanger 34 and decreasing the amount of boil-off gas sent out by the compressor 35 are taken. If the temperature of the boil-off gas detected by the temperature sensor 12 exceeds the release temperature, measures such as decreasing the heating temperature of the boil-off gas by the heat exchanger 34 and increasing the amount of boil-off gas sent out by the compressor 35 are taken. In this way, the temperature of the boil-off gas detected by the temperature sensor 12 is maintained at the release temperature.
- the discharge line 3 of the low-temperature gas discharge system 1 configured as above has two flow paths: a "normal flow path” in which the boil-off gas discharged from the liquefied gas tank 10 is heated to a temperature higher than the boiling point of liquid oxygen by the heat exchanger 34 and then sent to the discharge tower 6, and an "emergency flow path” in which the boil-off gas is sent to the discharge tower 6 through the bypass line 7 that avoids the heat exchanger 34 and the compressor 35.
- the normal flow path is a flow path that passes through the main discharge line 30, and functions when the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33 are opened and the emergency release valve 71 is closed.
- the emergency flow path is a flow path that passes through a part of the main discharge line 30 and the bypass line 7, and functions when the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33 are closed and the emergency release valve 71 is opened.
- a third release valve 39 may be arranged downstream of the second connection part 37, which is the junction of the main discharge line 30 and the bypass line 7, in the discharge line 3.
- the third release valve 39 is an on-off valve that opens and closes in the same way as the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33 when the normal flow path is in use, and opens and closes in the same way as the emergency release valve 71 when the emergency flow path is in use. In the event of a failure of either the second release valve 33 or the emergency release valve 71, the third release valve 39 takes over the function of the failed valve.
- the controller 4 controls the operation of the low-temperature gas discharge system 1 by opening and closing the valves 32, 33, and 71 to switch between a state in which the normal flow path functions and the emergency flow path does not function, a state in which the normal flow path does not function and the emergency flow path functions, and a state in which both the normal flow path and the emergency flow path do not function.
- a state in which both the normal flow path and the emergency flow path function there may also be a state in which both the normal flow path and the emergency flow path function.
- the tank internal pressure P increases due to boil-off gas of the liquefied gas contained in the liquefied gas tank 10. A part of the boil-off gas may be sent to a fuel consuming device as fuel.
- the controller 4 outputs an alarm from the output device 46. The alarm notifies the user of the release of the boil-off gas.
- the controller 4 When the tank pressure P reaches the discharge start pressure P2 (time t2), the controller 4 opens the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33 and operates the compressor 35. Alternatively, when the pressure rise rate of the tank pressure P (i.e., the amount of pressure rise per unit time) reaches a predetermined discharge start pressure rise rate, the controller 4 opens the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33 and operates the compressor 35.
- the controller 4 starts the heat exchanger 34 when or before the tank pressure P reaches the discharge start pressure P2.
- a stopped heat exchanger 34 requires a predetermined start-up time until it can heat the boil-off gas to the discharge temperature. Therefore, it is desirable to start the heat exchanger 34 before the tank pressure P reaches the discharge start pressure P2.
- the boil-off gas that flows from the liquefied gas tank 10 into the discharge line 3 is heated to the discharge temperature and sent to the discharge tower 6, from which it is released into the atmosphere. Since the boil-off gas released from the discharge tower 6 into the atmosphere has a higher boiling point than liquid oxygen, it is possible to prevent the generation of liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid air at the outlet of the discharge tower 6 or its surroundings.
- the tank pressure P gradually decreases due to the release of boil-off gas.
- the controller 4 stops the heat exchanger 34 and compressor 35 and closes the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33.
- the controller 4 stops the heat exchanger 34 and compressor 35 and closes the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33.
- the controller 4 stops the heat exchanger 34 and compressor 35 and closes the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33.
- the controller 4 opens the emergency release valve 71.
- the controller 4 opens the emergency release valve 71 when the pressure rise rate (i.e., the amount of pressure rise per unit time) of the tank pressure P becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined emergency release rate threshold. Note that since the bypass line 7 upstream of the emergency release valve 71 is connected to the liquefied gas tank 10 via a portion of the main release line 30, the pressure of the bypass line 7 is substantially the same as the tank pressure P.
- the emergency release valve 71 By opening the emergency release valve 71, the emergency flow path of the release line 3 is opened, and a portion of the boil-off gas that has flowed into the release line 3 flows through the bypass line 7, i.e., to the release tower 6 without passing through the heat exchanger 34 and the compressor 35. In this way, when it becomes necessary to release boil-off gas urgently, a portion of the boil-off gas can be quickly released from the release tower 6 without passing through the heat exchanger 34 and the compressor 35, preventing an excessive increase in the tank pressure P.
- the opening and closing operations of the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33 are controlled by the controller 4, but the opening and closing operations of at least one of the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33 may be performed manually.
- the emergency release valve 71 is a control valve controlled by the controller 4, but it may be a manual valve or a safety valve that is automatically opened at emergency release pressure P3. In this case, when the emergency release valve 71 is open, the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33 may be closed or open.
- Fig. 5 is a flow chart of the process of the controller 4 which realizes the operation method according to the second embodiment.
- the tank pressure P rises due to boil-off gas of the liquefied gas contained in the liquefied gas tank 10, and becomes an alarm pressure P1.
- the controller 4 monitors the tank pressure P, and when the tank pressure P reaches the alarm pressure P1 (step S01), calculates the pressure rise rate of the tank pressure P (step S02).
- the pressure rise rate of the tank pressure P can be obtained from the history of the tank pressure P.
- the controller 4 is provided with a speed threshold value for the pressure rise rate and stored in advance.
- the controller 4 compares the determined pressure rise rate with the speed threshold value (step S03), and if the pressure rise rate is less than the speed threshold value (NO in step S03), an alarm is output from the output device 46 (step S04). The alarm warns of the release of boil-off gas.
- the controller 4 opens the first and second discharge valves 32 and 33 and operates the compressor 35 (step S06).
- the controller 4 starts the heat exchanger 34 when or before the tank pressure P reaches the discharge start pressure P2.
- the liquefied gas tank 10 and the discharge tower 6 are connected through the steady-state flow path of the discharge line 3 and the heat exchanger 34 and compressor 35 are operated, the boil-off gas that flows from the liquefied gas tank 10 to the discharge line 3 is heated to the discharge temperature and sent to the discharge tower 6, from which it is discharged to the atmosphere.
- the controller 4 closes the first and second discharge valves 32 and 33 and stops the heat exchanger 34 and compressor 35 (step S08).
- step S03 if the pressure rise rate is equal to or higher than the rate threshold (YES in step S03), the controller 4 generates an alert from the output device 46 (step S21) and opens the emergency release valve 71 (step S22).
- the emergency release valve 71 may be opened after the tank pressure P exceeds the emergency release pressure P3.
- the emergency flow path of the release line 3 is opened, and the boil-off gas that has flowed into the release line 3 flows through the bypass line 7, i.e., without passing through the heat exchanger 34 and the compressor 35, to the release tower 6 and is released from the release tower 6 to the atmosphere.
- the controller 4 closes the emergency release valve 71 (step S24).
- the opening and closing operations of the first release valve 32, the second release valve 33, and the emergency release valve 71 are controlled by the controller 4, but the opening and closing operations of at least one of the first release valve 32, the second release valve 33, and the emergency release valve 71 may be performed manually.
- the controller 4 generates an alarm or alert at the appropriate time, and the operator can operate the manual valve in response to the alarm or alert.
- the heat exchanger 34 of the low-temperature gas discharge system 1 has uses other than heating the boil-off gas to be discharged, such as a heat exchanger for loading and unloading and a heat exchanger for fuel. Therefore, while the heat exchanger 34 is being used for purposes other than heating the boil-off gas to be discharged, such as loading and unloading and fuel supply, or while the heat exchanger 34 is stopped, it is possible to assume a situation in which the boil-off gas of the liquefied gas is discharged to the atmosphere from the liquefied gas tank 10.
- the boil-off gas of the liquefied gas is led from the liquefied gas tank 10 to the discharge tower 6 without passing through the heat exchanger 34 by using the emergency flow path, and the boil-off gas is discharged to the atmosphere.
- the controller 4 opens the emergency release valve 71 while closing the first release valve 32 and the second release valve 33.

- the release line 3 has a flow path (i.e., a steady-state flow path) that sends the boil-off gas to the release tower 6 after heating it to a temperature higher than the boiling point of liquid oxygen in the heat exchanger 34, and a flow path (i.e., an emergency flow path) that sends the boil-off gas to the release tower 6 without passing through the heat exchanger 34.
- a flow path i.e., an emergency flow path

前記燃料用熱交換器が前記低温ガス放出システムの前記熱交換器を兼ねるものである。
液化ガスを貯蔵する液化ガスタンクから前記液化ガスのボイルオフガスを大気へ放出する方法であって、

前記液化ガスタンク内の圧力が前記放出開始圧力よりも高い所定の緊急放出開始圧力を超えたときに、前記ボイルオフガスを前記熱交換器を通さずに前記放出塔を通じて大気へ放出するものである。
図4に示すように、液化ガスタンク10に収容された液化ガスのボイルオフガスによって、タンク内圧力Pは上昇する。なお、ボイルオフガスの一部は、燃料として燃料消費機器へ送られてもよい。コントローラ4は、タンク内圧力Pがアラーム圧力P1となると(時刻t1)、出力装置46からアラームを出力する。アラームによって、ボイルオフガスの放出が予告される。
図5は、第2実施例に係る運転方法を実現するコントローラ4の処理の流れ図である。図5に示すように、タンク内圧力Pは、液化ガスタンク10に収容された液化ガスのボイルオフガスによって上昇して、アラーム圧力P1となる。コントローラ4は、タンク内圧力Pを監視しており、タンク内圧力Pがアラーム圧力P1となると(ステップS01)、タンク内圧力Pの圧力上昇速度を演算する(ステップS02)。タンク内圧力Pの圧力上昇速度は、タンク内圧力Pの履歴から求めることができる。
