Abstract

In this study, according to increase of thermoelectric power plants that use LNG, LNG-FSRU(Floating-Storage and Regasification Unit) appeared and it is installed on the Topside in order to deliver in a gaseous state to consumers who are in the shore. This study about the study on the characteristics analysis of the system depending on changes in performance with the vaporization and temperature of the heat source. For the characteristics analysis of the system, we devided vaporization method into Ethylene glycol water vaporization method and sea water as a heat source. Then the system that can vaporize 200ton per hour of LNG of $-157.9^{\circ}C$ and 10,400kPa was configured, and according to the temperature of supplied sea water, required minimum flow rate value was calculated. Also in case of using Ethylene glycol Water as a vaporization method, providing for regional and seasonal factors such as decrease of temperature of water. The system is configured by adding a steam boiler of $174.5^{\circ}C$, 775kPa as heat source. The generation amount of the steam required according to the performance of the vaporizer compared to the water temperature changes in the steam boiler and the amount of required evaporative performance due to changes in the quantity of steam and Ethylene glycol Water was confirmed.

본 연구에서는 최근 LNG를 사용하는 화력발전소가 증가함에 따라 등장한 LNG-FSRU (Floating Storage Regasification Unit)에서 LNG를 육상에 있는 소비자에게 기체 상태로 전달하기 위해 Topside에 설치된 재기화 시스템의 열원온도 및 기화성능의 변동에 따른 시스템의 특성분석에 관한 연구이다. 시스템 특성분석을 위하여 LNG가 재기화 할 때 필요한 열원으로써 해수를 사용하는 기화방식과 에틸렌글리콜을 사용하는 기화방식으로 나누어 $-157.9^{\circ}C$, 10,400kPa의 LNG를 시간당 200ton 기화시키는 시스템을 구성하였고, 이때 공급되는 해수온도에 따라 필요한 해수의 최소유량 값을 구하였다. 그리고 에틸렌글리콜을 사용하는 기화방식에서는 지역 및 계절 등의 요인으로 인해 해수온도가 낮아질 경우를 대비하여 $174.5^{\circ}C$, 775kPa의 보일러 스팀을 추가열원으로 설치된 시스템을 구성하고, 필요한 스팀의 생성량을 기화성능에 따라 비교분석함으로써 해수온도 변화에 따라 요구되는 보일러 스팀의 양과 기화성능의 변화에 따른 해수 및 에틸렌글리콜 그리고 스팀의 양을 구하였다.
