LNG선의 건조 동향을 보면 2003년을 기점으로 하여 기하급수적으로 증가하기 시작 하였으며, 2008년을 기점으로 하여 그 건조량은 감소하는 추세이나 건조 선박 중 많은 부분이 재액화 시스템이 장착된 대형 LNG선박으로 대형 LNG선은 216K급의 Q-Flex급, 260K급의 Q-Max급이 주를 이루고 있다. 이러한 LNG선박의 대형화는 LNG선의 화물창 보온 설계 기준인 BOR(Boil Off Rate) 0.15%를 기준해서 상대적으로 많은 양의 BOG가 발생하게 되었으며 선박의 주 추진기관의 연료로 사용 하더라도 잉여 가스가 남게 되어 화물탱크의 압력상승을 막기 위해서는 BOG를 재 액화하여 화물탱크로 반송하거나 소각하는 방법 등으로 처리하지 않으면 안 되게 되었다. 이러한 이유로 인하여 206K(206,000m3)급 이상의 대형 LNG 선박에서는 필수적으로 LNG 재액화 시스템을 탑재하도록 설계를 하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 현재 개발 되어 운항선에 적용되고 있는 여러 가지 LNG 재액화 시스템의 사이클 성능을 동일한 기기 조건하에서 해석함으로써 각각의 장단점을 비교하여 LNG선박의 설계 및 운항 시 재 액화 시스템의 최적화 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

개방형 기화기는 해수를 이용하여 열교환을 수행함으로써 액체상태의 액화천연가스를 천연가스로 기화시키는 역할을 한다 86년부터 가동된 U-tyre 기화기는 천연가스생산과 관련된 중요설비 중 하나로서, 기화기 튜브는 항상 해수내에서 운전되고 있으며 기화기 튜브와 파이프사이의 용접부에서 해수로 인한 부식이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 용접부에서의 국부적인 부식원인을 찾기 위해 이종금속부식의 가능성을 평가해 보았으며 또한 비파괴적인 방법을 이용하여 부식피트의 깊이를 측정하고 유한요소를 통한 안전성 평가에 목적을 두었다. 이종금속부식가능성에 대하여 용접부 각 부위별로 시료를 채취하여 3.5$\%$(wt.) NaCl 용액내에서 모재와 용접부위의 부식전위를 측정하였으며, 비파괴 검사를 통한 잔류두께측정은 tangential radio-graphy 시험이 가장 신뢰성 있는 기법임이 확인되었다. 미세한 부식피트가 발생된 경우에는 표면형상 복제기법을 적용하였다. 비파괴적인 방법을 이용하여 산출된 부식피트의 깊이와 형상을 근거로 2차원 유한요소 해석을 수행함으로써 내압으로 인한 기화기 튜브의 안전성을 평가할 수 있었다.

The leak before break(LBB) concept is generalized on the design of LNG tanks, pressure vessels and nuclear reactor in that any leakage of containment, in whatever amount, will not result in catastropic failure. For this purpose it is necessary to determine the surface crack shape, the opening displacement and the risk of catastropic brittle fracture when it becomes a through crack. In this study the crack propagation behavior of surface flaws and the crack opening displacement of through cracks under combined membrane and bending stresses were investigated with fatigue tests and fracture toughness test of aluminium alloy A5083-O. And fracture mechanics analysis of the crack opening displacement of through cracks were made in order to develop a new model expressing the behaviors of COD under combined membrane and bending stresses.

At the design of Mark III membrane type LNG tank, an analytical and experimental approach on the fatigue strengths of membrane and its welds are very important in order to assist designers and surveyors. In this study, fatigue tests of lap weld of Mark III membrane type LNG tank were carried out and cumulative damage factor was calculated in order to estimate the fatigue life by probability density function and rule methods. It contained the following tests and reviews : 1) The fatigue tests of lap weld of stainless steel according to statistical testing method recommended by JSME, 2)Preparation of S-N curve for lap welds considering the statistical properties of the results of fatigue tests. 3) Procedure for estimating the initiation life of fatigue crack of lap welds under variable loads by the rule lf classification society and probability density function, 4) Guideline for inspection of lap welds fo membrane type LNG tank.

The vaporizing characteristics of LNG(liquefied natural gas) via heat exchanger with sea water are analytically studied for an open rack vaporizer(ORV). This study is intended to supply the design data for the domestic fabrication of the corrosion-resistant vaporizer tube. A computational program is developed to predict the exit temperature of LNG for various conditions. In the program, thesimple and justifiable heat transfer models are selected for fully-developed internal flow of LNG, the star-shaped finned-tube, and the external falling films of sea water, as well as the possible ice formation and the fouling on the tube walls. It is found that the enongh corrugation inside of the tube wall is the most significant in the vaporizer performance for the current operating conditions. the effects of other design parameters on the heat exchanger between LNG and sea water are quantitatively presented.

Liquefied natural gas takes up six hundredths of the volume of natural gas, which makes storage and transportation much easier. To send out natural gas via a pipeline network across the nation, high-pressure LNG pumps supply highly compressed LNG to high-pressure vaporization facilities. The Number of high-pressure LNG pumps determined the send-out amount in LNG receiving terminal. So it is main equipment at LNG production process and should be maintained on best conditions. In this paper, to find out the cause of high beat vibration at cryogenic pumps, vibration and motor current signal analysis have been performed. High vibration of cryogenic pumps could be reduced due to the modification of motor rotor.

This paper is concerned with the thermal design of the $138,000m^3$ class membrane type LNGC. To predict the temperature distribution, BOG and BOR, 3-dimensional numerical calculation was carried-out for the quarter of No.3 LNG tank. These sequence analyses were performed under the standard conditions of IMO ship design condition, USCG ship design condition and the Korean flag LNGC's route condition according to the 6-voyage modes. As the results, temperature behavior, heat flux, total penetrating heat, BOG and BOR were obtained, and those were compared with the maneuvering results considering the real temperature variation of air and sea water temperature at noon time. For securing the safety of LNGC during the ballast voyage, optimum control patterns of pressure and temperature in LNG tank is suggested in this paper.

Recently, the technologies to utilize the cold energy of liquefied natural gas (LNG) have attracted significant attention. In this paper, thermodynamic performance analysis of combined cycles consisting of ammonia Rankine cycle (AWR) and organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with LNG Rankine cycle to recover low-grade heat source and the cold energy of LNG. The mathematical models are developed and the effects of the important system parameters such as turbine inlet pressure, ammonia mass fraction, working fluid on the system performance are systematically investigated. The results show that the thermal efficiency of AWR-LNG cycle is higher but the total power production of ORC-LNG cycle is higher.
