Abstract
Description
본 발명은 선박용 연료공급시스템 및 이를 구비한 액화가스 연료 추진 선박에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a marine fuel supply system and a liquefied gas fuel propulsion ship equipped with the same.
온실가스 및 각종 대기오염 물질의 배출에 대한 국제해사기구(IMO, International Maritime Organization)의 규제가 강화됨에 따라 조선 및 해운업계에서는 기존 연료인 중유, 디젤유의 이용을 대신하여, 청정 에너지원인 천연가스를 선박의 연료가스로 이용하는 경우가 많아지고 있다.As the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s regulations on the emission of greenhouse gases and various air pollutants are strengthened, the shipbuilding and shipping industry is using natural gas, a clean energy source, instead of using existing fuels such as heavy oil and diesel oil. It is increasingly being used as fuel gas for ships.
연료가스 중에서 널리 이용되고 있는 천연가스(Natural Gas)는 메탄(Methane)을 주성분으로 하며, 통상적으로 그 부피를 1/600로 줄인 액화가스(Liquefied Gas) 상태로 변환되어 저장탱크에 저장된다.Natural gas, which is widely used among fuel gases, contains methane as its main ingredient, and is usually converted to liquefied gas with its volume reduced to 1/600 and stored in a storage tank.
액화가스가 저장된 저장탱크 내부에서는 외부의 열 유입에 따라 증발가스가 발생하며, 이는 수요처의 연료로 공급될 수 있으나 수요처가 필요로 하는 연료공급량을 초과한 유량에 대해서는 재액화하여 저장탱크로 회수할 필요성이 있다.Inside the storage tank where the liquefied gas is stored, evaporation gas is generated due to the influx of external heat. This can be supplied as fuel to the customer, but if the flow rate exceeds the fuel supply required by the customer, it can be re-liquefied and recovered to the storage tank. There is a need.
또, 저장탱크에서 발생한 증발가스는 5단 내외의 다단 압축기를 포함하는 압축부를 거쳐 고압(대략 300barg)으로 압축된 후, 고압 분사엔진의 연료로 공급될 수 있다. 이때, 고압의 압축부와 연관된 배관 등의 각종 설비는 고압에 견딜 수 있도록 그에 맞게 설계되어야 하며, 운전 정지 시 내부 정지 압력(Settle-out Pressure)을 낮추기 위해 별도의 대용량 가스 탱크가 적용될 수 있다.In addition, the evaporation gas generated in the storage tank can be compressed to high pressure (approximately 300 barg) through a compression unit including a multi-stage compressor of about 5 stages and then supplied as fuel for a high-pressure injection engine. At this time, various facilities such as piping related to the high-pressure compression section must be designed accordingly to withstand high pressure, and a separate large-capacity gas tank can be applied to lower the internal settle-out pressure when the operation is stopped.
또, 압축부를 거쳐 고압으로 압축된 증발가스는 발전기 및 보일러와 같은 저압 연료를 필요로 하는 저압 수요처로 공급될 수 있다. 이를 위해 고압으로 압축된 증발가스를 팽창시켜 8barg 내외의 저압 가스로 변환시켜야 하며, 대량 감압으로 인해 가스 온도가 급격하게 강하하는 것을 보상하기 위해 가열기가 사용될 수 있다.In addition, the boil-off gas compressed to high pressure through the compression unit can be supplied to low-pressure consumers that require low-pressure fuel, such as generators and boilers. To achieve this, the boil-off gas compressed at high pressure must be expanded and converted into low-pressure gas of around 8 barg, and a heater can be used to compensate for the rapid drop in gas temperature due to mass decompression.
이와 같이, 종래에는 고압으로 압축된 증발가스를 저압 수요처의 연료로 공급하기 위해 대량의 감압을 수행하는 등 전체 연료공급시스템 운영에 있어서 비효율적인 문제점이 있다.As such, in the past, there was an inefficient problem in operating the entire fuel supply system, such as performing a large amount of decompression in order to supply boil-off gas compressed at high pressure as fuel to low-pressure consumers.

A
종래에는 다단의 압축기를 포함하는 압축부를 통해 고압으로 증발가스를 압축시킨 후 저압 수요처의 연료로 공급하기 위해 대량의 감압을 수행해야 했으나, 본 발명의 실시 예를 통해 가스압축부(110)에 의해 유체를 저압으로 압축시킨 후 제1수요처(E1)로 공급할 수 있다. In the past, boil-off gas had to be compressed at high pressure through a compression unit including a multi-stage compressor and then decompressed in large quantities to be supplied as fuel to low-pressure consumers. However, through an embodiment of the present invention, the

제2열교환기(122)에서 열교환된 냉매는 냉매압축기(135)를 통과한 후, 냉매냉각부(155)에서 제2연료공급라인(L13)에 마련된 가압펌프(150)를 통과한 액화가스와 열교환되어 냉각되고, 냉매팽창기(137)로 흘러가 감압된다.The refrigerant heat-exchanged in the second heat exchanger (122) passes through the refrigerant compressor (135), and then passes through the pressurizing pump (150) provided in the second fuel supply line (L13) in the refrigerant cooling unit (155) into liquefied gas. It is cooled by heat exchange and flows to the refrigerant expander (137) to depressurize.
이를 통해, 가압펌프(150)를 통과한 액화가스의 냉열을 활용하여 냉매를 냉각시키고, 냉각된 냉매를 제2열교환기(122) 쪽으로 순환시켜 증발가스 액화에 활용할 수 있다.Through this, the cold heat of the liquefied gas passing through the pressurizing
저장탱크(101)에 저장된 액화가스는 저장탱크(101) 내부에 마련된 펌프(P)에 의해 펌핑되어, 액화부(120)의 제1열교환기(121)를 통과한 후 제2연료공급라인(L13)을 통해 제1수요처(E1)보다 큰 압력의 연료를 필요로 하는 제2수요처(E2)로 공급될 수 있다.The liquefied gas stored in the
이때, 저장탱크(101) 내부에 마련된 펌프(P)에 의해 펌핑된 액화가스 중 일부는 제1열교환기(121)를 통과하지 않고, 액화가스공급라인(L15)을 통해 바로 제2수요처(E2) 쪽으로 공급될 수도 있다.At this time, some of the liquefied gas pumped by the pump (P) provided inside the storage tank (101) does not pass through the first heat exchanger (121), but directly passes through the liquefied gas supply line (L15) to the second consumer (E2). ) may also be supplied to the side.
제2수요처(E2)는 예컨대 ME-GI 엔진(Man B&W 사의 Gas Injection 엔진)과 같은 고압(약 150~700bar)의 분사엔진 및 X-DF 엔진인 중압(약 16~18bar)의 연료가스로 연소가 가능한 중압가스 분사엔진을 포함할 수 있다.

도 2는 도 1의 선박용 연료공급시스템의 다른 예를 도시한 것이다.Figure 2 shows another example of the marine fuel supply system of Figure 1.
한편, 도 2를 참조하면 선박용 연료공급시스템(100)은, 후단팽창기(130)의 후단에 마련되며, 팽창된 유체를 기액 분리시키는 기액분리기(170)를 포함하고, 분리된 기체성분은 증발가스공급라인(L11)의 히터(111) 전단으로 합류되고, 분리된 액체성분은 저장탱크(101)로 회수될 수 있다.Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 2, the marine
즉 증발가스의 유량이 많은 경우, 후단팽창기(130)의 후단에 기액분리기(170)가 마련될 수 있으며, 기액분리기(170)는 후단팽창기(130)에 의해 팽창된 유체를 기액 분리시킨다. 기액분리기(170)에 의해 분리된 기체성분은 기체성분공급라인(L16)을 통해 증발가스공급라인(L11)의 히터(111) 전단으로 합류되고, 기액분리기(170)에 의해 분리된 액체성분은 액체성분회수라인(L17)을 통해 저장탱크(101)로 회수된다.That is, when the flow rate of the boil-off gas is large, a gas-
이와 같이 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 저압압축기(112)는 종래의 고압 다단 압축기와 달리 저압 압축기를 적용하여 초기 투자비 및 운전 비용을 최소화할 수 있으며, 운전 편의성 증대 및 고압 위험 구역 최소화로 안전성을 향상시킬 수 있다.In this way, the low-
또, 저장탱크(101)로부터 공급된 증발가스의 액화에 냉매의 냉열을 활용하고, 냉매의 냉각에 저장탱크(101)로부터 공급된 액화가스를 활용할 수 있다.In addition, the cold heat of the refrigerant can be used to liquefy the boil-off gas supplied from the
또, 저장탱크(101)로부터 공급된 액화가스가 액화부(120)를 통해 가압펌프(150)에 적합한 상태로 변환되어, 결과적으로 기화기(160)의 용량을 줄일 수 있다.In addition, the liquefied gas supplied from the
일반적인 증발가스의 몰리에르 선도(Molier Diagram, Pressure-Enthalpy Diagram)를 살펴보면, 종래에는 증발가스의 액화에 소모되는 에너지를 줄이고자 임계점(Critical Point) 이상의 고압 영역에서 냉각을 수행하였다.Looking at the Molier Diagram (Pressure-Enthalpy Diagram) of a general boil-off gas, conventionally cooling was performed in a high pressure area above the critical point to reduce the energy consumed for liquefying the boil-off gas.
그러나 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 연료공급시스템(100)의 경우, 증발가스를 액화시키는 데에 소요되는 에너지를 줄이고자 증발가스를 고압까지 승압하는 과정이 불필요하며, 저압에서도 액화 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있다.However, in the case of the
또, 액화부(120)에 의해 액화된 증발가스를 저장탱크(101)의 압력까지 후단팽창기(130)에 의해 팽창시킬 경우, 액체 영역에서 몰리에르 선도의 등온 곡선 기울기가 양수이므로 액화부(120) 출구 온도가 동일할 경우 저압에서 증발가스의 액화량이 증가할 수 있다.In addition, when the boil-off gas liquefied by the
또, 증발가스 사용을 최소화하여 가벼운 탄화수소 성분을 효과적으로 보존할 수 있어 저장탱크(101) 내 연료 성분을 양호하게 유지할 수 있다.In addition, by minimizing the use of boil-off gas, light hydrocarbon components can be effectively preserved, and the fuel components in the
