Description

연료가스 공급시스템{FUEL GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM}FUEL GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM [0002]

본 발명은 연료가스 공급시스템에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a fuel gas supply system.

온실가스 및 각종 대기오염 물질의 배출에 대한 국제해사기구(IMO)의 규제가 강화됨에 따라 조선 및 해운업계에서는 기존 연료인 중유, 디젤유의 이용을 대신하여, 청정 에너지원인 천연가스를 선박의 연료가스로 이용하는 경우가 많아지고 있다.As IMO regulations on the emission of greenhouse gases and various air pollutants are strengthened, shipbuilding and marine industries are replacing the use of conventional oil and diesel oil with natural gas, which is a clean energy source, In many cases.

연료가스 중에서 널리 이용되고 있는 천연가스(Natural Gas)는 메탄(Methane)을 주성분으로 하며, 통상적으로 그 부피를 1/600로 줄인 액화가스(Liquefied Gas) 상태로 변화되어 저장 및 운반되고 있다.Natural gas, which is widely used in fuel gas, is mainly stored as methane and is stored and transported in a liquefied gas state where the volume thereof is reduced to 1/600.

액화가스 운반선은 액화가스를 저장할 수 있도록 단열 처리된 저장탱크를 구비한다. 이러한 선박의 엔진은 저장탱크의 액화가스를 기화시켜 연료로 이용하거나, 저장탱크에서 자연적으로 발생하는 증발가스(Boiled Off Gas)를 연료로 이용한다. 여기서, 선박의 추진용 또는 선박의 발전용으로 DFDE(Dual Fuel Disel Electric) 엔진 등과 같은 저압(약 5~8bar)의 분사엔진 및 ME-GI 엔진(Man B&W 사의 Gas Injection 엔진)과 같은 고압(약 150~400bar)의 분사엔진이 널리 이용되고 있다. 또한 중압(약 16~18bar)의 연료가스로 연소가 가능한 중압가스 분사엔진이 개발되어 이용되고 있다. The liquefied gas carrier has an insulated storage tank to store the liquefied gas. The engine of this ship uses vaporized liquefied gas from the storage tank as fuel or uses boiled off gas naturally occurring in the storage tank as fuel. Here, high pressure (about 5 to 8 bar) injection engine such as DFDE (Dual Fuel Disel Electric) engine and ME-GI engine (Man B & W's Gas Injection engine) 150 ~ 400 bar) injection engines are widely used. In addition, a medium pressure gas injection engine capable of combusting with medium pressure (about 16 to 18 bar) fuel gas has been developed and used.

한편, 엔진의 부하량이 커져 필요로 하는 연료공급량이 많아진 경우, 엔진이 요구하는 적정 유량을 맞추어 줄 필요성이 있다. 즉, 저장탱크에 저장된 액화가스가 많을 때는 저장탱크에서 자연적으로 발생하는 증발가스가 많기 때문에 이를 엔진의 연료로 공급하는 데에 지장이 없다. 그러나, 저장탱크에 저장된 액화가스가 적을 때는 자연적으로 발생하는 증발가스 양도 적기 때문에 이를 엔진의 연료로 공급하는 데에 충분하지 못하다. 더욱이 최근에는 저장탱크의 단열 성능이 증가하면서 증발가스 발생량이 줄어들었기 때문에 기존의 운용방식을 개선할 필요성이 있다.On the other hand, when the load of the engine is large and the required fuel supply amount is increased, there is a need to adjust the flow rate required by the engine. That is, when there are a lot of liquefied gas stored in the storage tank, since there are many evaporative gases naturally generated in the storage tank, there is no problem in supplying it as the fuel of the engine. However, when the amount of liquefied gas stored in the storage tank is small, the amount of evaporation gas generated naturally is small, so that it is not sufficient to supply the fuel to the engine. Furthermore, recently, the insulation performance of the storage tank has been increased, and the amount of evaporative gas generation has been reduced. Therefore, there is a need to improve the existing operation method.

또, 종래의 연료가스 공급시스템에는 저장탱크로부터 공급되는 증발가스를 엔진의 연료가스 공급압력 조건에 맞게 변경하기 위해 복수의 압축기를 포함하는 압축부를 공개하고 있다. 이때, 압축부의 효율을 최적 상태로 유지시켜 전체 시스템을 효과적으로 운용할 필요성이 있으나, 이에 대한 구체적인 제어 기술에 대한 구현이 미흡한 실정이다. 상술한 내용과 관련된 종래 기술로서 한국공개특허 제10-2012-0103421호(2012.09.19. 공개)를 참조하기 바란다.In addition, the conventional fuel gas supply system discloses a compression unit including a plurality of compressors for changing the evaporation gas supplied from the storage tank to the fuel gas supply pressure condition of the engine. At this time, there is a need to effectively operate the entire system by maintaining the efficiency of the compression unit at an optimal state, but the actual implementation of the control technique is insufficient. As a related art related to the above-mentioned contents, please refer to Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2012-0103421 (published on September 19, 2012).

The storage tank 10 may include a membrane type tank, an SPB type tank, and the like which store the fuel in a liquefied state while maintaining an adiabatic state. The internal pressure of the storage tank 10 can be maintained at 1 bar when the liquefied gas to be stored is LNG or can be maintained at a higher pressure in consideration of the fuel supply conditions.

The compression section 20 includes a plurality of alternately arranged compressors 22 and a cooler (not shown), and compresses the evaporated gas of the liquefied gas supplied from the storage tank 10. The efficiency of the compression unit 20 varies depending on the temperature of the fluid to be introduced. For example, the compression unit 20 exhibits an optimum efficiency at about -15 ° C.

압축부(20)가 최적의 상태에서 동작할 수 있도록 제1열교환부(30)는 압축부(20)에 의해 압축된 증발가스를 온도조절라인(L2)을 통해 공급받아 저장탱크(10)로부터 공급된 증발가스와 열교환을 수행하여, 증발가스공급라인(L1)을 통해 압축부(20)로 공급되는 증발가스의 온도를 설정온도에 맞게 변경한다. 그리고, 압축부(20)에 의해 압축된 증발가스는 제1열교환부(30)를 거쳐 재액화라인(L3)으로 공급되고, 제2열교환부(40)에서 냉매와 열교환을 수행하여 액화된다.The first heat exchanging unit 30 is supplied with the evaporation gas compressed by the compressing unit 20 through the temperature control line L2 so as to be operated from the storage tank 10 Performs heat exchange with the supplied evaporation gas, and changes the temperature of the evaporation gas supplied to the compression section (20) through the evaporation gas supply line (L1) according to the set temperature. The evaporated gas compressed by the compression unit 20 is supplied to the re-liquefaction line L3 through the first heat exchanging unit 30 and is heat-exchanged with the refrigerant in the second heat exchanging unit 40 to be liquefied.

The refrigerant circulation line L7 includes a refrigerant compressor 12 for compressing the refrigerant, a refrigerant cooler 14 for first cooling the refrigerant compressed in the refrigerant compressor 12, and a second heat exchange A refrigerant inflator 16 may be provided for expanding the refrigerant that has been secondarily cooled in the first compartment 40.

도 1에서는 냉매압축기(12) 및 냉매냉각기(14)를 하나씩 도시하였으나, 다른 예에서 냉매압축기(12) 및 냉매냉각기(14)는 복수 개로 마련되어 교대로 배치될 수 있다. 냉매냉각기(14)는 해수, 냉각수, 또는 공기를 냉열원으로 사용하여 냉매를 냉각할 수 있다. 냉매팽창기(16)에서 요구되는 입구 온도까지 냉매가 충분히 냉각되도록, 냉매냉각기(14)를 거친 냉매는 제2열교환부(40)를 통과하면서 더 냉각된다. 그리고, 냉매는 냉매팽창기(16)를 통과하며 저압 및 극저온 상태가 되고, 제2열교환부(40)에서 재액화라인(L3)을 통해 공급된 증발가스와 열교환을 수행할 수 있다. In FIG. 1, the refrigerant compressor 12 and the refrigerant cooler 14 are shown one by one, but in another example, the refrigerant compressor 12 and the refrigerant cooler 14 may be provided in plural and alternately arranged. The coolant cooler 14 can cool the coolant by using seawater, cooling water, or air as a heat source. The refrigerant having passed through the refrigerant cooler 14 is further cooled while passing through the second heat exchanging section 40 so that the refrigerant is sufficiently cooled to the inlet temperature required by the refrigerant inflator 16. [ Then, the refrigerant passes through the refrigerant inflator 16 to be in a low-pressure and cryogenic state, and can perform heat exchange with the evaporated gas supplied through the redistribution line L3 in the second heat exchanging unit 40. [

분기부(50)는 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량에 따라 제2열교환부(40)를 거친 유체를 연료공급라인(L4) 및 회수라인(L5) 중 하나 이상으로 분배한다. 즉, 분기부(50)는 제2열교환부(40)를 거친 유체 중 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 양만큼 연료공급라인(L4)을 통해 엔진(E)으로 보내고 나머지는 회수라인(L5)을 통해 저장탱크(10)로 보낼 수 있다. 분기부(50)는 예컨대, 3-way 밸브를 포함할 수 있다.The branching section 50 distributes the fluid passing through the second heat exchanging section 40 to at least one of the fuel supply line L4 and the recovery line L5 according to the fuel supply amount required by the engine E. [ That is, the branching section 50 sends the amount of fluid passing through the second heat exchanging section 40 to the engine E through the fuel supply line L4 by an amount required by the engine E, To the storage tank (10). The branching section 50 may comprise, for example, a 3-way valve.

분기부(50)에 의해 연료공급라인(L4)로 공급된 유체는 히터(60)에 의해 가열된 후, 엔진(E)의 연료로 사용된다.The fluid supplied to the fuel supply line L4 by the branch portion 50 is heated by the heater 60 and then used as fuel for the engine E. [

또, 분기부(50)에 의해 회수라인(L5)으로 보내진 유체는 감압밸브(70)에 의해 감압시킨 후 저장탱크(10)로 저장할 수 있다.The fluid sent to the recovery line L5 by the branching unit 50 may be decompressed by the pressure reducing valve 70 and then stored in the storage tank 10.

측정부(90)는 연료공급라인(L4)에 설치되어 연료공급라인(L4)을 통해 엔진(E)으로 공급되는 유체의 압력 및 연료공급라인(L4)을 통해 엔진(E)으로 공급되는 유체의 양 중 하나 이상을 측정할 수 있다. 예컨대, 엔진(E)이 증발가스를 많이 끌어다 쓰는 경우, 연료공급라인(L4)을 통해 엔진(E)으로 공급되는 증발가스의 압력은 측정부(90)에 의해 낮게 측정된다. The measuring section 90 is provided on the fuel supply line L4 and controls the pressure of the fluid supplied to the engine E through the fuel supply line L4 and the pressure of the fluid supplied to the engine E through the fuel supply line L4 Of at least one of < / RTI > For example, when the engine E draws a lot of evaporation gas, the pressure of the evaporation gas supplied to the engine E through the fuel supply line L4 is measured low by the measuring section 90.

상술한 분기부(50)는 측정부(90)에 의해 측정된 증발가스의 압력이 설정압력(설정값)보다 낮은 경우, 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량이 실제 엔진(E)으로 공급되는 유량보다 많다고 판단할 수 있다. 마찬가지로 분기부(50)는 측정부(90)에 의해 측정된 연료공급라인(L4)을 통해 엔진(E)으로 공급되는 유량이 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량(설정값)보다 적은 경우, 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량이 실제 엔진(E)으로 공급되는 유량보다 많다고 판단할 수 있다. 분기부(50)는 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량이 실제 엔진(E)으로 공급되는 유량보다 많다고 판단되면, 회수라인(L5)으로 공급되는 유체의 양을 줄이고, 연료공급라인(L4)을 통해 엔진(E) 쪽으로 공급되는 유체의 양을 증가시킬 수 있다. The branching section 50 described above supplies the fuel supply amount required by the engine E to the actual engine E when the pressure of the evaporation gas measured by the measuring section 90 is lower than the set pressure It is determined that the flow rate is greater than the flow rate. Likewise, when the flow rate supplied to the engine E through the fuel supply line L4 measured by the measuring unit 90 is smaller than the fuel supply amount (set value) required by the engine E, , It can be determined that the fuel supply amount required by the engine E is larger than the flow rate supplied to the actual engine E. [ The branching section 50 reduces the amount of the fluid supplied to the recovery line L5 and reduces the amount of the fluid supplied to the fuel supply line L4 when the fuel supply amount required by the engine E is judged to be larger than the flow rate supplied to the actual engine E. [ The amount of the fluid supplied to the engine E can be increased.

또, 선박 정박 시, 분기부(50)는 제2열교환부(40)를 거쳐 전량 액화된 유체를 회수라인(L5)으로 보내어, 감압밸브(70)에 의해 감압시킨 후 저장탱크(10)로 저장할 수 있다. 이때, 회수라인(L5)을 통해 저장탱크(10)에 저장되는 유체는 저장탱크(10) 내 증발가스 발생을 억제시키기 위해 회수라인(L5) 끝단에 마련된 분사장치(15)에 의해 저장탱크(10) 내측에 분사될 수 있다.In addition, at the time of berthing of the ship, the branching section 50 sends the fluid liquefied in the total amount through the second heat exchanging section 40 to the recovery line L5, decompressed by the pressure reducing valve 70, Can be stored. The fluid stored in the storage tank 10 through the recovery line L5 is discharged to the storage tank 10 by the spray device 15 provided at the end of the recovery line L5 in order to suppress the generation of the evaporative gas in the storage tank 10. [ 10).

한편, 엔진(E)의 부하량이 커질수록 필요한 연료공급량은 늘어나게 된다. 저장탱크(10)로부터 공급된 증발가스의 양이 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량보다 적을 경우, 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량에 따라 유량을 맞출 필요가 있다.On the other hand, as the load of the engine E increases, the required fuel supply amount increases. When the amount of evaporated gas supplied from the storage tank 10 is smaller than the amount of fuel required by the engine E, it is necessary to adjust the flow rate according to the fuel supply amount required by the engine E.

이를 위해 제어부(95)는 상술한 측정부(90)에 의해 측정된 값과 설정값을 비교하여, 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량이 연료공급라인(L4)을 통해 공급되는 유량보다 많다고 판단된 경우, 액화가스공급라인(L6)을 통해 액화가스를 추가로 공급할 수 있다. 예컨대, 제어부(95)는 측정부(90)에 의해 측정된 증발가스의 압력과 설정압력(설정값) 또는 측정부(90)에 의해 측정된 유량과 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량(설정값)을 비교하여, 비교한 결과값을 기초로 연료공급량이 연료공급라인(L4)을 통해 공급되는 유량보다 많다고 판단된 경우, 액화가스공급라인(L6)을 통해 액화가스를 추가로 공급할 수 있다.To this end, the control unit 95 compares the value measured by the measuring unit 90 with the set value and determines that the fuel supply amount required by the engine E is greater than the flow rate supplied through the fuel supply line L4 If it is judged, it is possible to further supply the liquefied gas through the liquefied gas supply line L6. For example, the control unit 95 determines whether or not the pressure of the evaporation gas measured by the measuring unit 90, the set pressure (set value) or the flow rate measured by the measuring unit 90 and the fuel supply amount If it is determined that the fuel supply amount is larger than the flow rate supplied through the fuel supply line L4 based on the comparison result, the liquefied gas can be further supplied through the liquefied gas supply line L6 have.

액화가스공급라인(L6)을 통해 액화가스를 추가로 공급하기 위해, 제어부(95)는 액화가스공급라인(L6)에 설치된 밸브(V1)를 개방하고, 저장탱크(10) 내측에 구비된 송출펌프(12)를 동작시켜 저장탱크(10)에 저장된 액화가스를 액화가스공급라인(L6)을 통해 내보내고, 기화기(80)의 동작을 제어하여 저장탱크(10)로부터 공급받은 액화가스를 기화시켜 증발가스공급라인(L1)으로 합류시킨다. 이때, 상술한 분기부(50)는 엔진(E)이 필요로 하는 연료공급량에 따라 제2열교환부(40)를 거친 유체를 연료공급라인(L4)으로 분배시킨다. 분기부(50)는 자체 제어방식에 의해 제어되거나, 다른 예에서 제어부(95)에 의해 제어되도록 구성될 수 있다. 상술한 분기부(50), 제어부(95) 및 측정부(90)는 서로 유무선 통신을 수행할 수 있으며, 각종 제어데이터, 측정값, 설정값 등을 송수신할 수 있다.
