A diesel-Liquefied natural gas(LNG) combustion engine truck fleet demonstration project had been carried out and commercial expansion project was launched. The key issues of these projects are the safety of LNG fuel station and the reduction of natural gas relief. When LNG is fueled to LNG vehicles the heat is input in the LNG system. The LNG in the fueling system was boiled and the vapor of LNG is vented through the safety devices. The temperature of the vapor of LNG is $-108^{\circ}C$ and density is heavier than air. It can be dispersed to downside of the fuel station. The safety evaluation is carried out using CFD program and risk assessment program for the vapor of LNG in the LNG vehicle fuel station. The hazards are identified and suggested the operation instruction to reduce the relief of LNG vapor.

The most crucial factor in membrane LNG ships to ensure sage operations, is how to effectively control tank pressure at the time of excessive generation of boil off gas (BOG). When the ships carry out tank cool down with her retaining heel prior to arrival at loading port, the vessel encounters the critical situation of excessive BOG and high tank pressure that can lead to high degree of risk. This is to provide one of the best ways to secure safe and effective LNG ship operations focusing on the detailed methods of tank cool down to achieve ATR(Arrival Temperature requirement) without building up high tank pressure and excessive BOG and calculating the appropriate heel quantity to be unutilized for tank cool down and fuel during ballast voyage.

최근 전세계적인 액화천연가스(LNG) 수요의 증가로 인해 LNG 터미널의 건설이 크게 늘어나고 있으며 기존의 LNG 터미널도 저장시설을 확장하고 있는 추세이다. 이에 따라 LNG 터미널의 다수의 저장탱크가 존재할 때 LNG를 송출하게 될 탱크와 각 송출량을 선택하는 것은 전체 공정 운전에 중대한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전체 송출량이 정해져 있을 경우 레벨이 각기 다른 탱크들에 대해 발생하는 BOG 양을 최소화 할 수 있도록 각 탱크의 송출량을 최적화하는 연구를 수행하였다. 저장 탱크의 특성과 구조에 맞게 벽면과 바닥면에서 유입되는 열과 탱크 재질의 열전도도를 고려한 동적모델을 구성하였고, 레벨을 변화시켜 각 레벨에 따른 BOG 양을 계산하여 얻은 BOG 발생량을 탱크 레벨에 따라 지수함수로 회귀분석하였다. 이를 통해 탱크의 특성과 레벨에 따라 BOG 발생량을 예측할 수 있는 BOR(Boil-off Rate) 모델을 얻을 수 있었다. 개발한 BOR 모델을 이용하여 BOG 발생량을 최소화하는 목적함수를 설정하고 요구되는 송출량, 탱크내 레벨 제한, 탱크 당 가능한 송출량을 제한조건으로 설정하여 각 탱크의 최적 송출량을 결정하는 운전 최적화를 수행하였다. 이를 실제 운전되고 있는 인천 LNG 터미널의 18개 저장탱크에 적용하여 다양한 레벨이 분포되어 있고 총 송출량이 80,000 m3/day(최대 송출량)이 요구되는 시나리오에 대해 최적화를 수행하여 가정한 기존의 운전방법과 비교하였을 때 BOG 양을 약 9% 감소시킬 수 있었다.

As the oil price is dramatically jumping up, the consumption of LNG is rapidly expanding and the size of LNG carriers becomes bigger. For LNG ships, the application of DF (Dual-Fuel) engines gradually increases because of high efficiency, which alternatively use diesel or BOG (Boil-Off Gas) from cargo tank as a fuel. The surplus BOG from LNG cargo tank should be exhausted by GCU or liquefied through the BOG reliquefaction system and returned back. This study focused into its operational characteristics through the process simulation using HYSYS and discussed details on the influence of the variations of some operational parameters such as a distribution ratio by the change of fuel mass flow into the DF engine.

미래에 수소 산업이 활성화되면 LH2 멤브레인 저장탱크 인수기지는 대용량 액화수소를 저장하고 송출할 수 있는 주요한 방안이다. 현재 이러한 인수기지가 존재하지 않기에, 기존 LNG 멤브레인 저장탱크 인수기지 설계 자료를 참고하여 기지 공정모사 모델을 완성하였다. 이 모델을 베이스로 하여 멤브레인 저장탱크 인수기지 운영에서 매우 주요한 인자인 기지 설계조건 변화에 따른 BOG 발생량을 예측하였다. 이를 통하여 LH2 멤브레인 저장탱크 인수기지가 운영될 때를 대비하여 하역시 BOG 발생량을 최소화 할 수 있는 적절한 운전조건을 검토하고자 하였다.

If the hydrogen industry is activated, the introduction of C-type and pressurized liquefied hydrogen (LH2) tank suitable for small and medium-sized transp- ortation and storage will be given priority in the future. Therefore in this paper, the behavior for the LH2 property changes and boil-off gas (BOG) treatment of the C-type cargo tank through voyage of the LH2 carrier and pressurized tank of the LH2 receiving terminal were analyzed through computational simulations by making assumptions about the carrier operation and unloading conditions.

Given the inadequate regulatory framework for liquefied hydrogen gas storage tanks on ships and the limitations of the IGC Code, designed for liquefied natural gas, this study introduces a critical assessment procedure to ensure the safety and suitability of such tank designs. This study performed a heat transfer analysis for boil-off gas (BOG) calculations and established separate design load cases to evaluate the yielding and buckling strength. In addition, the study assessed methodologies for both high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue assessments, complemented by comprehensive structural integrity evaluations using finite element analysis. A comprehensive approach was developed to assess the structural integrity of Type C tanks by conducting crack propagation analysis and comparing these results with the IGC Code criteria. The practicality and efficacy of these methods were validated through their application on a 23K-class liquefied hydrogen carrier at the concept design stage. These findings may have important implications for enhancing safety standards and regulatory policies.

The LNG BOG re-liquefaction system for LNG carriers was designed based on the Claude refrigeration cycle and the thermodynamic analysis was carried out in order to find the design point of the three heat exchangers constituting the system. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that the system state could be defined by the three cold endpoint temperatures of the three-pass heat exchanger. Hence the iso-lines of the specific liquefaction work, taken as the performance indicator, were presented in terms of those three temperatures and discussed. The system was found most economical when those three temperatures approached a single temperature of $-140^{\circ}C$ and thus this system state could be taken as the design point for the heat exchangers.

재액화 드럼은 과냉각된 LNG를 증발가스에 직접 분사하기 위해 상부에 스프레이 노즐을 설치하고, 기액 분리가 용이하도록 데미스터를 설치한 제품으로, 소형 재액화 설비의 재액화 효율을 높이기 위해 개발한 제품이다. 드럼의 상온 내압기밀시험에서는 설계압력의 1.5배 이상의 압력에서도 누설(Leak)이 없었으나, 단열성능시험 중 온도변화에 따른 수축/팽창으로 인해 볼트풀림 현상이 발생하였다. 제품의 지속적인 사용을 위해 플랜지 결합부의 단열 시공은 탈부착이 가능하도록 개발하였으며, 기존 단열과의 열침입량 비교 결과 드럼 내 유입 유량 대비 매우 미미함을 확인하였다.

In this study, a numerical simulations were conducted to analyze the phase change behavior of a liquid hydrogen storage container. The effects of gravity direction and hydrogen filling rate on boil-off gas (BOG) in the storage container were investigated. The study employed the volume of fluid, which is the phase change analysis model provided by ANSYS Fluent (ANSYS, Canonsburg, PA, USA), to investigate the sloshing phenomenon inside the liquefied hydrogen fuel tank. Considering the transient analysis time, two-dimensional simulation were carried out to examine the characteristics of the flow and thermal fields. The results indicated that the thermal flow characteristics and BOG phenomena inside the two-dimensional liquefied hydrogen storage container were significantly influenced by changes in gravity direction and hydrogen filling rate.
