The demand of LNG as a cheap and clean energy which does not cause an environmental problem has sharply been increased in Korea. In general LNG is stored in a cargo tank specially designed as a liquid state below $-162^{\circ}C$. The main engine of a LNG carrier is generally a steam boiler because LNG is a highly flammable fluid with the possibility of explosion. The main engine of a cargo ship has to be capable of the propulsion load and various auxiliary loads for the safe navigation since it is the primary energy source. Therefore the evaluation of a main boiler's energy capacity is a key design point in the planning of LNG carrier's construction. This research is to develop the computational program for the analysis of steam boiler Heat balance for LNG carrier.

The use of gas as fuel, particularly liquefied natural gas (LNG), has increased in recent years owing to its lower sulfur and particulate emissions compared to fuel oil or marine diesel oil. LNG is a low temperature, volatile fuel with very low flash point. The major challenges of using LNG are related to fuel bunkering, storing, and handling during ship operation. The main components of an LNG fuel system are the bunkering equipment, fuel tanks, vaporizers/heaters, pressure build-up units (PBUs), and gas controlling units. Low-pressure dual-fuel (DF) engines are predominant in small LNG-powered vessels and have been operating in many small- and medium-sized ferries or LNG-fueled generators.(Tamura, K., 2010; Esoy, V., 2011[1][2]) Small ships sailing at coast or offshore rarely have continuous operation at constant engine load in contrast to large ships sailing in the ocean. This is because ship operators need to change the engine load frequently due to various obstacles and narrow channels. Therefore, controlling the overall system performance of a gas supply system during transient operations and decision of bunkering time under a very poor infrastructure condition is crucial. In this study, we analyzed the fuel consumption, the system stability, and the dynamic characteristics in supplying fuel gas for operating conditions with frequent engine load changes using a commercial analysis program. For the model ship, we selected the 'Econuri', Asia's first LNG-powered vessel, which is now in operation at Incheon Port of South Korea.

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.

대형 디젤엔진은 주행거리가 길고 배기량이 크기 때문에 차량의 대수는 상대적으로 적지만 대기환경에 미치는 영향은 크다. 시내를 주행하는 시내버스의 경우 한일 월드컵을 계기로 CNG 버스로 전환되었다. 그러나 대형트럭과 장거리 시외버스의 경우 주행거리가 길고 CNG 충전소가 대도시의 시내버스 차고지 위주로 설치되어 있어 이용이 불가능하였다. 단열용기의 적용으로 천연가스를 압축상태가 아닌 액체 상태로 보관이 가능해져 주행거리가 긴 대형트럭이나 장거리 시외버스로의 적용이 가능해졌으며, 혼소엔진의 경우 LNG 충전이 어려운 지역에서는 디젤로 운행이 가능하다. 이와 같은 장점으로 인하여 석유 의존도를 크게 낮출 수 있어 에너지원의 다변화가 가능하며, 디젤차의 고질적인 단점으로 여겨왔던 매연 및 질소산화물뿐만 아니라 저탄소 연료를 사용함으로서 대표적인 온실가스중의 하나인 이산화탄소도 10%이상 저감할 수 있었다.

최근 LNG 연료 시장의 호황에 힘입어 LNG선들이 점차 대형화 추세에 있고, LNG선의 추진 기관 또한 경제성, 환경 영향 등의 주어진 요구 환경에 따라 다양화 되고 있다. 기존의 Steam Turbine Propulsion 외에 Conventional 2-stroke Diesel Engine 및 Dual-fuel 4-stroke Diesel Engine of LNG선의 주 기관으로서 이미 상용화 되었고, 기술적/경제적인 이유로 일반 상선의 주기관으로서는 논외에 있었던 Gas Turbine 또한 일부 Oil Major와 Gas Turbine Maker에 의해 그 적용 가능성이 논의되고 있다. 이에 따라 LNG 선에 Gas Turbine 적용 타당성, 고려 사항 및 적용에 따른 이점과 단점 등을 고찰하였다.

본 논문은 액화 천연 가스(LNG)를 주 연료로 사용하는 선박용의 LNG기화기의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 기화기 내부에서의 열전달 특성을 연구하였다. LNG를 기화하기 위한 가열열원으로서는 주 엔진에서 발생하는 워터 쟈켓의 가온수를 직접 이용하지 않고 열교환기를 통하여 간접 가열된 글리콜 워터(Glycol Water)를 사용하는 시스템을 채택하였다. LNG의 기화 과정은 상변화를 동반하기 때문에 이를 검증하기 위하여 액화질소(LN2)의 기화과정을 통하여 신뢰성을 확보하였고, LNG 기화기 내부의 최적 열적특성을 도출하기 위하여 LNG의 유입량과 가열열원인 글리콜 워터 유량변화에 대한 LNG 기화특성을 연구하였다. 해석 결과 LNG 질량유량이 0.111 kg/s과 가열원수인 부동액 질량유량이 1.805 kg/s일 경우 가스 출구 온도는 약 $6^{\circ}C$로서 LNG 선박의 최적 운전 조건임을 알 수 있었다.

Among the currently available types of fuel, LNG emits a relatively small amount of nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide when it burns in the engine. However, since LNG is a flammable material, leakage during bunkering can lead to accidents, such as fires. Therefore, it is necessary to install a remote operation emergency shut-down (ESD) valve to block the flow and leakage of LNG in an emergency situation that occurs during bunkering. The ESD valve uses a hydraulic driving device consisting of a hydraulic control valve and a hydraulic motor to control globe valve disc displacement, which regulates the flow path for LNG transfer. At this time, there are various nonlinearities in hydraulic driving devices; hence, it is necessary to design a controller with robust control performance against these uncertainties. In this study, modeling of the ESD valve was carried out, and a sliding mode controller to control the displacement of the globe valve disc was designed. As a result, it was confirmed that the designed control performance could be achieved by overcoming nonlinearity characteristics using the designed controller.
